Such conjugate pairs are particularly useful in the analysis of irreversible processes, as exemplified in the derivation of the Onsager reciprocal relations.

Some women were abducted by sealers, while others were traded by Aboriginal men in attempts to establish reciprocal relations with the sealers.
13.
The same reciprocal relation exists between a point "'P "'outside the circle and the secant line joining its two points of tangency.
14.
Like Thomson ( Kelvin ) as noted above, Helmholtz also found a reciprocal relation, and this was another of the ideas noted by Onsager.
15.
According to the reciprocal relations, the damped oscillations in homogeneous closed systems near thermodynamic equilibria are impossible because the spectrum of symmetric operators is real.
16.
In physical and chemical kinetics, T-symmetry of the mechanical microscopic equations implies two important laws : the principle of detailed balance and the Onsager reciprocal relations.
17.
The Union's members enjoy reciprocal relations with, and use of facilities at, the Oxford Union, Cambridge Union, Edinburgh Union, The Phil, both of Trinity College Dublin.
18.
Prior to " The Origin of Species ", there was little appreciation or understanding of the dynamic and reciprocal relations between organisms, their adaptations, and the environment.
19.
For the equations of the law of mass action the reciprocal relations appear in the linear approximation near equilibrium as a consequence of the detailed balance conditions.
20.
The reciprocal relations were discovered in the 19th century by Thomson and Helmholtz for some phenomena but the general theory was proposed by Lars Onsager in 1931.
