critical point: the point on a phase diagram at which the temperature and pressure have their critical values; the end point of the liquid-vapor line (16 11)
critical point: A temperature point at which a structure change either starts, is completed, or both when a material is being heated or cooled
critical point: (of a function in C^1) Where the first partial derivatives are zero or infinite
critical point: The temperature and pressure at which the properties of a liquid and its vapor become indistinguishable
critical point: The temperature and pressure at which two phases of a substance in equilibrium become identical, forming a single phase
critical point: In science, the set of conditions under which a liquid and its vapour become identical. The conditions are the critical temperature, the critical pressure, and the critical density. If a closed vessel is filled with a pure substance, partly liquid and partly vapour, and the average density equals the critical density, the critical conditions can be achieved. As the temperature is raised, the vapour pressure increases, and the gas phase becomes denser while the liquid expands and becomes less dense. At the critical point, the densities of liquid and vapour become equal, eliminating the boundary between the two
critical point: The upper limit of the temperature-pressure curve of a substance
critical point: the temperature and pressure above which a liquid state cannot exist

critical point: is defined as the point at which the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states are identical is defined as the point at which the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states are identical
critical point: a crisis situation or point in time when a critical decision must be made; "at that juncture he had no idea what to do"; "he must be made to realize that the company stands at a critical point"
critical pressure: The least applied pressure required at the critical temperature to liquefy a gas
critical pressure: pressure of a gaseous substance when at the critical temperature
critical ratio: (Ticaret) A production prioritization rule that divides the time remaining until a job due date by the amount of time required to perform the remaining work. A ratio of one indicates the job is exactly on time, greater than one that the job is ahead of schedule, and less than one that the job is behind schedule. Negative values indicate a job already past the due date (as opposed to merely behind schedule)

critical temperature: The highest temperature at which well defined liquid and vapor states exist It is sometimes defined as the highest temperature at which it is possible to liquify a gas by pressure alone
critical temperature: The highest temperature at which well-defined liquid and vapor states exist
critical temperature: The temperature to which a gas must be cooled before it can be liquefied by pressure

critical temperature: Temperature at which vapor and liquid have same properties
critical theory: Marxist inspired movement in social and political philosophy originally associated with the work of the Frankfurt school. Drawing particularly on the thought of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, critical theorists maintain that a primary goal of philosophy is to understand and to help overcome the social structures through which people are dominated and oppressed. Believing that science, like other forms of knowledge, has been used as an instrument of oppression, they caution against a blind faith in scientific progress, arguing that scientific knowledge must not be pursued as an end in itself without reference to the goal of human emancipation. Since the 1970s, critical theory has been immensely influential in the study of history, law, literature, and the social sciences
critical thinking: Applying one’s own views and approaches, rather than simply accepting other people’s information, attitudes and judgements
critical thinking: The ability to reason, to use logic, to analyze or synthesize information
critical thinking: is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information, gathered or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, and/or communication as a guide to belief or action Critical thinking is not the simple acquisition and retention information; the development of a particular set of skills, and/or the repetitive application of those skills without the critical evaluation of their results Critical thinking encompasses the eight elements of reason: purpose, point of view, question at issue, information, interpretations and inference, concepts, assumptions, implications and consequences (Paul, 1995)
critical thinking: Reasonable reflective thinking that focuses on deciding what to believe or do More precisely, assessing the authenticity, accuracy, and/or worth of knowledge claims and arguments It requires careful, precise, persistent and objective analysis of facts and information
critical thinking: The disciplined ability and willingness to assess evidence and claims, to seek a breadth of contradicting as well as confirming information, to make objective judgments on the basis of well supported reasons as a guide to belief and action, and to monitor one’s thinking while doing so (metacognition) The thinking process that is appropriate for critical thinking depends on the knowledge domain (e g : scientific, mathematical, historical, anthropological, economic, philosophical, moral) but the universal criteria are: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound empirical evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth and fairness
critical thinking: Shows or requires careful analysis before judgment
critical thinking: A form of complex thinking, especially of a logical type
critical thinking: The ability to discern and discriminate through an individual thought process
