Ideal Gas Laws [PDF]

open access: hybrid, 2017
Abstract This is the first chapter to explicitly address fluid media. For springs and solids, Hooke’s law, or its generalization using stress, strain, and elastic moduli provided an equation of state. In fluids, we have an equation of state that relates changes in pressure (stresses) to changes in density (strain).

What is the ideal dimension of law?

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
AbstractVarious authors have claimed that law has an ideal dimension owed to a claim to correctness. Against this thesis, this article argues that there are several ideal dimensions of law, namely, a moral, a legal, and an ontological one. All of them are independent of a claim to correctness.

Ideal gas law for a quantum particle

open access: yesPhysical Review E
The question of how classical thermodynamic laws emerge from the underlying quantum substrate lies at the foundations of physics. Here, we examine the validity of the ideal gas law (IGL) for a single quantum particle confined within a two-dimensional cavity.

The Ideal Dimension of Law

open access: yesPhilosophy of law and general theory of law, 2021
The main theme of the article is ideal dimension of law. Author argue for a dual nature thesis – which contends that law necessarily comprises both a real or factual dimension and an ideal or critical dimension – and demonstrates how the ideal dimension (which refers primarily to moral correctness) implies the truth of non-positivism.

The Ideals of the Rule of Law [PDF]

open access: yesOxford Journal of Legal Studies, 2016
Choices that are underdetermined by reason, such as choices arising from incommensurability among values, involve an element of arbitrariness, and arbitrary choices are commonly thought to be inimical to the rule of law. In this article, I suggest that we should distinguish between two different ideals of the rule of law, and that the arbitrariness of ...

On the ideal gas law

open access: yes, 2011
The air density on earth decays as a function of altitude $z$ approximately according to an $\exp(-w\,z/θ)$-law, where $w$ denotes the weight of a nitrogen molecule and $θ=\kB T$ where $k_B$ is a constant and $T$ the thermodynamic temperature. To derive this law one usually invokes the Boltzmann factor, itself derived from statistical considerations ...
