21. While recycling diverts waste from entering directly into landfill sites, current recycling misses the dissipative components. 22. The dissipative two-level system represents also a paradigm in the study of quantum phase transitions. 23. For a static dissipative mat to be reliably grounded it must be attached to a path to ground. 24. Systems with such dynamic states of matter that arise as the result of irreversible processes are dissipative structures. 25. Recent research has seen reconsideration of Prigogine's ideas of dissipative structures in relation to biological systems. 26. Some kind of dissipative interaction ( i . e ., friction ) is always necessary for capture. 27. Dissipative systems are still an active field of research in systems and control, due to their important applications.28. Solitons, travelling waves and non-dissipative robust waves maintain structure and energy during computation of our brain. 29. This form is specifically useful in a dissipative system, in which the systems and surroundings must be modeled together. 30. Hence, a dissipative term has to be added to the energy balance relation devised by Griffith for brittle materials.
