		Saturation line properties in SI units, calculated from the equations are tabulated at 5 K intervals and at 5 degree Celsius intervals from the melting temperature to the critical temperature for the vapour pressure, saturation densities and surface tension and to within at least 30 kelvin of the critical temperature for the remainder.

	Amazon.com: Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena (International Series of Monographs on Physics): Books
		OUR purpose in this first chapter is to provide the reader with a brief qualitative description of what actually happens near the critical point, and with an appreciation of why the study of these critical phenomena has burgeoned in recent years.
		"Introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena" can be considered a classic in the subject, and, despite its first edition is now nearly thirty years old, and some of the results presented have been worked out in more detail along these years, I highly recommend it as an introduction to the subject.
		First published in 1971, this highly popular text is devoted to the interdisciplinary area of critical phenomena, with an emphasis on liquid-gas and ferromagnetic transitions.

	Decoherence
		Similarly to the superparamagnetic point, which results in the strong transitions of the Colossal Magnetoresistive effect in grains of the critical size near their critical temperature, the mesoscopic transitions of water are amplified in droplets of the critical size, at unstable points where two molecular liquid crystal phases coexist, near 3.95°C.
		Optical cavities tuned to the proper resonance, reinforced by the natural superradiant modes of water and their chaotic transitions at the superparaelectric point may be all that is needed to decohere some macroscopic body from the Machian background.
		As to the overall result of this random walk in space-time, I shall assume with Stueckelberg that it is determined by thermodynamics, and particularly in the way it governs the decoherence of the quantum into the classical realm.

		Based on universal arguments it is believed that there is a critical point (E) in QCD on the temperature (T) versus chemical potential (μ) plane, which is of extreme importance for heavy-ion experiments.
		Derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to μ are computed at μ=0 for 2 flavors of p-4 improved staggered fermions with ma=0.1,0.2 on a 16
		We study QCD at nonzero temperature and baryon density in the framework of the analytic continuation from imaginary chemical potential.

		Kauffman is pushing into the adjacent possible at many points, from biology, chemistry, thermodynamics, and economics.
		Kauffman proposes that we live in a self-organised critical biosphere with a power-law distribution of small to large avalanches of speciation and extinction events.
		Kauffman then proposes a fourth law of chemical thermodynamics: a chemical system advances into the adjacent-possible as fast as it can.

	Gunnar Nordström (1991-1923)
		The critical issue was the time dependence of mass in motion and the consequent, interpretation of the energy equation from the point of view of relativistic thermodynamics.
		The theory was notably imperfect in its definition of the source of the gravitational field, which had to be later defined as the trace of the energy-momentum tensor as pointed out by Max von Laue in his Relativitätsprinzip of 1911.
		Nordström's theory predicted no deflection at all, because in his theory electromagnetism is not coupled to gravitational phenomena because the trace of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor vanishes.

	Intertheory Relations in Physics
		The statistical mechanics of a fluid reduces to its thermodynamics in the limit of infinitely many particles, yet that limit breaks down near the critical point, where liquid and vapour merge, and where we never see a continuum no matter how distantly we observe the particles.
		On the other hand, if the behavior in the limit is of a fundamentally different character than the nearby solutions one obtains as ε→0, then the schema will fail.
		On the other hand, neither philosophical nor "physical" reduction seems possible when the limiting correspondence relation between the theories is singular.

		This critical art theory is based on the parameter of how we experience art and in the future it may be founded on the Second Principle of Thermodynamics, which when applied to a system, indicates the increase of its entropy.
		Perhaps if we were at the exact point where novelty is "born", it might never exist...
		Futuyma's attempted distinction between naturality and normality of behavior may be useful to the introduction and further studying of the generally common tendency of being unable to differentiate art from decorative tradition [2]; yet, what is of importance nowadays is the concept of novelty after postmodernism and how it is redefined.
