Normalization of strongly intensive quantities

Fluctuations of Intensive Quantities in Statistical Thermodynamics

In phenomenological thermodynamics, the canonical coordinates of a physical system split in pairs, with each pair consisting of an extensive quantity and an intensive one. In the present paper, the quasithermodynamic fluctuation theory of a model system of a large number of oscillators is extended to statistical thermodynamics based on the idea of perceiving the fluctuations of intensive variab...

Rethinking Intensive Quantities via Guided Mediated Abduction

Some intensive quantities, such as slope, velocity, or likelihood, are perceptually privileged in the sense that they are experienced as holistic, irreducible sensations. However, the formal expression of these quantities uses a/b analytic metrics; for example, the slope of a line is the quotient of its rise and run. Thus, whereas students’ sensation of an intensive quantity could serve as a po...

Estimation of intensive quantities in spatio-temporal systems from time-series

We study multivariate time-series generated by coupled map lattices exhibiting spatio-temporal chaos and investigate to what extent we are able to estimate various intensive measures of the underlying system without explicit knowledge of the system dynamics. Using the rescaling and interleaving properties of the Lyapunov spectrum of systems in a spatio-temporally chaotic regime and paying caref...

Sociological Study of the Determinants of Normalization of Research Misbehavior

Nowadays, promoting academic loyalty and ethics and coping with research misbehavior, including plagiarism, forgery and misrepresentation have become an important part of the university mission, since the normalization of research misconduct undermines the integrity and loyalty of science, the link between science, society, industry, and damages the reputation of scientific institutions. Accord...
