	SparkNotes: Thermodynamic Structure: Terms
		Extensive - An extensive variable of a system doubles upon duplication of the system.
		Important extensive variables are the volume V, the entropy σ, the number N and the energy U.
		Important intensive variables are the temperature τ, the chemical potential μ, and the pressure p.

		In addition to the classed-continuous distinction, variables may be intensive or extensive, normalized or absolute, and primary or derived (e.g., statistical).
		Example: Population is an extensive variable, while population density is intensive (independent of spatial extent).
		These variables are listed in red type and are at or near the end of each variable category on the data selection page in order to distinguish them from the rest of the variables.

	Reading in a Foreign Language: Reading attitudes in L1 and L2, and their influence on L2 extensive reading
		In extensive reading programmes, students read relatively simpler materials than in intensive reading programmes, and they are not usually required to demonstrate understanding to a degree as detailed as they would in intensive reading programmes.
		Extensive reading, as partly mentioned above, "is intended to develop good reading habits, to build up knowledge of vocabulary and structure, and to encourage a liking for reading" (Richards and Schmidt, 2002: 193-194).
		It is defined in various ways, for example, "a system of feelings related to reading which causes the learner to approach or avoid a reading situation" (Alexander and Filler, 1976: 1) or "a state of mind, accompanied by feelings and emotions, that make reading more or less probable" (Smith, 1990: 215).

	Extensive quantity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the natural sciences, an extensive quantity (also extensive variable or extensive parameter) is a physical quantity, whose value is proportional to the size of the system it describes.
		Extensive quantities are the counterparts of intensive quantities, which are intrinsic to a particular subsystem and remain constant regardless of size.
		Dividing one type of extensive quantity by a different type of extensive quantity will in general give an intensive quantity (mass divided by volume gives density).

	variable concept from the Astronomy knowledge base
		Some variables vary simply because they consist of two stars, one of which eclipses the other; Algol is the most famous example.
		Other variables, however, vary because the stars themselves actually change in brightness; the most famous are the Cepheids, RR Lyraes, and Miras, all of which pulsate.
		Be star (1 kind, 9 facts) - Irregular variables of spectral type B (or occasionally O or A) with hydrogen emission lines in their spectra.

	Offshore Variable Annuity (OffshoreNet) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		With a variable annuity, the amount paid by the annuitant is invested in a variety of different kinds of investments similar to mutual funds.
		Because the income earned by the variable annuity is dependent on the performance of the investments, the amounts paid to the annuitant will vary and can't be predicted in advance.
		When it is time for the insurance company to begin making payments to the annuitant, the amount paid for the annuity is divided by the life expectancy of the annuitant(s) to determine the portion of the payments each year that is a return of capital and therefore tax free.

	The Euler Equation and the Gibbs-Duhem Equation
		Mass is an extensive variable, density is an intensive variable.
		Intensive functions are homogeneous of degree zero, extensive functions are homogeneous of degree one.
		This equation, arrived at by purely formal manipulations, is the Euler equation, an equation that relates seven thermodynamic variables.

	AAVSO: 2005: A Stellar Year for the AAVSO
		One example is the data for RZ Ari, a low-amplitude semiregular, which was used by Richichi (ESO, Munich) and the Calar Alto lunar occultation program to determine that the average brightness of this star is slowly increasing with time.
		Originally classified as a novalike variable, analysis of the AAVSO long-term light curve reveals this star is likely an ordinary main sequence star undergoing occasional bursts of unknown activity.
		Variable stars are a fascinating pursuit for amateur and professional astronomers alike, and there are probably as many reasons for the excitement people have for them as there are variable star observers!

		Once the students have entered the class, have been seated, are quite and ready for the lesson, the teacher informs them that today they will learn how to declare a variable, place a value into a variable by typing at the keyboard and how to change the contents of a variable.
		This is a behaviourist approach to teaching, reinforcing good behaviour, and it works to teach the concept of a variable to most of the students.

	Conjugate variables (thermodynamics) Information
		In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is expressed in terms of pairs of conjugate variables such as pressure/volume or temperature/entropy.
		The thermodynamic force is always an intensive variable and the displacement is always an extensive variable, yielding an extensive energy transfer.
		Pressure is the driving force, volume is the associated displacement, and the two form a pair of conjugate variables.

		However, we set an important criterion for the selection variables of state: State variables are those variables that only depend on state, and not on how the system arrived at that state.
		Those that depend on the size are called extensive variable, e.g., V,H, E; and those which do not, such as T and P, are called as intensive variables.

		SQL Server implements variables at the local level, reserving variables that are available anywhere (called global variables) for itself.
		In programming parlance, this is called being "strongly-typed." Before we can use the variable, we have to set the type, and the data that is placed there must conform to that type.
		Global variables are a special case, in that they don't have local scope, and we can't set them.

		The number of variables, the independent variables in a thermodynamic system, is always exactly two for a pure substance present in one phase.
		Since heat capacity is an extensive quantity, the heat capacity of 100.0 moles of pure liquid water is obtained by multiplying the number of moles of water, 100.0 mole, by the molar heat capacity of liquid water at 25.00(C, 75.291 J/K-mole.
