| ARTICLES RELATED TO Physical | | | |  Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical attractiveness - Perception of physical attractivenessCultural, social, or time period environments can have a strong effect on the degree to which people determine certain traits to be attractive. As part of the socialization process, children typically learn what their culture or time period considers attractive. Media, including written as well as visual forms, such as films and cartoons, for example, frequently portray "villains" or "bad" individual as less attractive, while protagonists are frequently depicted as attractive. This often leads to the perception that beauty can be equated wit ...

| | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical strength - Notes While most people have more or less equal amounts of the fibers, some people are genetically-gifted with a disproportionate composition of them, resulting in excellent performance in a relevant sport. For example, a person with high concentrations of fast twitch B fibers would make an excellent sprinter. Conversely, this means that the same person would perform terribly in a long-distance run.
Hypertrophy of the muscles usually results from any sort of sufficient physical activity, though to varying degrees of size, dependant upon the physical activity itself. Hyperplasia, the introduction of additional muscle fiber, ...

| | | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical therapy - Assessment A physiotherapist will initially conduct a subjective examination (interview) of a patient's medical history, and then go on to the objective assessment (physical examination). The subjective examination is guided by the presenting system and complaint, and the objective assessment is in turn guided by the history.
This semistructured process is used to rule out serious pathology (so called red flags), establish functional limitations, refine the diagnosis, guide therapy, and establish a baseline for monitoring progress. As such, the ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical law - Examples Main article: List of laws in science. See also: scientific laws named after people
Some of the more famous laws of nature are found in Isaac Newton's theories of (now) classical mechanics, presented in his Principia Mathematica, and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Other examples of laws of nature include Boyle's law of gases, conservation laws, Ohm's law, the four laws of thermodynamics, etc.

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical geodesy - The geopotential The Earth's gravity field can be described by a potential as follows:
which expresses the gravitational acceleration vector as the gradient of W, the potential of gravity. The vector triad is the orthonormal set of base vectors in space, pointing along the X,Y,Z co-ordinate axes.
Note that both gravity and its potential contain a contribution from the centrifugal pseudo-force due to th ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical geodesy - Definition Physical geodesy is the study of the physical properties of the gravity field of the Earth, the geopotential, with a view to their application in geodesy.
Traditional geodetic instruments such as theodolites rely on the gravity field for orienting their vertical axis along the local plumb line or vertical with the aid of a spirit level. After that, vertical angles (zenith angles or, alternatively, elevation angles) are obtained with respect to this local vertical, and horizontal angles in the plane of th ...

| | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical science - Basic principles The foundations of the physical sciences rests upon key concepts and theories, each of which explains and/or models a particular aspect of the behavior of nature. As in other sciences, these key concepts and theories came to discovery using the scientific method.
Natural sciences generally, and physical sciences particularly, tend to be more reductionist sciences, in contrast to the more holistic social sciences; i.e., physical science tends to explain the whole system from the system's fundamental parts, whereas social science tends to explain the whole syste ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Particle physics - Public policy and particle physics Experimental results in particle physics are often obtained using enormous particle accelerators which are very expensive (typically several billion US dollars) and require large amounts of government funding. Because of this, particle physics research involves issues of public policy.
Many have argued that the potential advances do not justify the money spent, and that in fact particle physics takes money away from more important research and education efforts. In 1993, the US Congress stopped the Superconducting Super Collider becau ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical therapy - Treatment Guided by the assessment findings, the physiotherapist will then develop and facilitate a treatment plan. Aside from the various physiotherapeutic teachniques involved in therapy, the treatment regimen may include prescribing and advice regarding assistive walking devices; should consider functional progress; and include ongoing review and refinement. Patient education is a key aspect of all treatment plans.
It is difficult to explore the many aspects of physiotherapeutic treatment options, especially considering their ongoing development in the face of an increasing research base. Nonetheless, some e ...

There do exist mainstream theories that are generally accepted theories based solely upon their effects explaining a wide variety of data, although the detection, e ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - History of physics - The scientific revolution The scientific revolution can be viewed as a flowering of the Renaissance and the portal to modern civilization. This was in part brought about by the re-discovery of those elements of ancient Greek, Indian, Chinese and Islamic culture preserved and further developed by Islam from the 8th to the 15th centuries, and translated by Christian Monks into Latin, such as the Almagest.
It started with only a few researchers, evolving into an enterprise which continues to the present day. Starting with astronomy, the principles of natur ...

| | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Plasma physics - Mathematical descriptions Plasmas may be usefully described with various levels of detail. However the plasma itself is described, if electric or magnetic fields are present, then Maxwell's equations will be needed to describe them. The coupling of the description of a conductive fluid to electromagnetic fields is known generally as magnetohydrodynamics, or simply MHD.
Plasma physics - Fluid.
The simplest possibility is to treat the plasma as a single fluid governed by the Navier Stokes Equations. A more general description is the two-fluid picture, where the ions and electrons are considered to be dist ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Theoretical physics - Proposed theories The proposed theories of physics are usually relatively new theories which deal with the study of physics which include scientific approaches, means for determining the validity of models and new types of reasoning used to arrive at the theory. However, some proposed theories include theories that have been around for decades and have eluded methods of discovery and testing. Proposed theories can include fringe theories in the process of becoming established (and, sometimes, gaining wider acc ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical examination - Basic biometrics
Physical examination - Height.
Height is the anthropometric longitudinal growth of an individual. A statiometer is the device used to measure height although often a height stick is more frequently used for vertical measurement of adults or children older than 2. The patient is asked to stand barefoot. Height declines during the day because of compression of the intervertebral discs. Children under age 2 are measured lying horizontally.
