Electrostatic levitation is a non-contact method of levitating an object using electrostatic force. A charged object is placed in an electrostatic field to achieve electrostatic equilibrium and levitate. This method cancels out the effects of gravity, and because it is non-contact, it eliminates the effects of the surroundings.  2, record 1, English, - electrostatic%20levitation

Cognitive conflict is a good instructional technique because most of us learn from our mistakes.... If we try to do something and it fails, then we adjust our method the next time we try and see if that works. Each failure at an attempt to learn or do something is adapted by assimilation and accommodation in our cognition learning and we resolve conflicts based on our previous experience. This is ongoing and each attempt will hopefully let us attain equilibrium in the cognitive realm of learning.  2, record 2, English, - cognitive%20conflict

Equilibrium methods are generally to be preferred to kinetics methods, but they have the major drawbacks of relatively high cost of enzyme and cofactors, and the length of time required per assay ...

Cette notion complexe donne lieu à plusieurs expressions qui sont des quasi-synonymes selon l'aspect qu'on fait ressortir. Un produit chimique se dissocie (association) en ions positifs et négatifs (ionisation) jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne un certain équilibre (stabilité), variable selon chaque produit. La concentration des ions positifs multipliée par celle des ions négatifs donne le produit ionique, une constante qui permet d'évaluer quantitativement cet équilibre. La constante permet donc d'évaluer l'acidité d'un produit et, par déduction, sa basicité.  2, record 10, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20de%20dissociation
