Wolff's law

Examples of Wolff's law in the following topics:

• Exercise and Bone Tissue

  • According to Wolff's law, bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the load under which it is placed.

• Stages of Bone Development

  • Repeated stress, such as weight-bearing exercise or bone healing, results in the bone thickening at the points of maximum stress (Wolff's law).

• Diazo Ketone Reactions

  • Molecular nitrogen is lost in each case, and the Wolff rearrangement path is on the left.

• Introduction to the Enlightenment

  • The philosophic movement was led by Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued for a society based upon reason rather than faith and Catholic doctrine, for a new civil order based on natural law, and for science based on experiments and observation.
  • A second, more moderate variety, supported by René Descartes, John Locke, Christian Wolff, Isaac Newton and others, sought accommodation between reform and the traditional systems of power and faith.
  • Hobbes also developed some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought: the right of the individual; the natural equality of all men; the artificial character of the political order (which led to the later distinction between civil society and the state); the view that all legitimate political power must be "representative" and based on the consent of the people; and a liberal interpretation of law which leaves people free to do whatever the law does not explicitly forbid.

• Enlightenment Ideals

  • The philosophic movement was led by Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued for a society based upon reason rather than faith and Catholic doctrine, for a new civil order based on natural law, and for science based on experiments and observation.
  • A second, more moderate variety, supported by René Descartes, John Locke, Christian Wolff, Isaac Newton and others, sought accommodation between reform and the traditional systems of power and faith.
  • The fundamentals of European liberal thought, including the right of the individual, the natural equality of all men, the separation of powers, the artificial character of the political order (which led to the later distinction between civil society and the state), the view that all legitimate political power must be "representative" and based on the consent of the people, as well as a liberal interpretation of law, which leaves people free to do whatever the law does not explicitly forbid, were all developed by Enlightenment thinkers.

• The Arndt-Eistert Reaction

  • The rearrangement of acyl nitrenes to isocyanates that is the crux of the Hofmann, Curtius and Lossen rearrangements, is paralleled by the rearrangement of acyl carbenes to ketenes, a transformation called the Wolff rearrangement.
  • The resulting Wolff rearrangement generates a ketene, which quickly reacts with any hydroxylic or amine reactants that may be present in solution.

• Gauss's Law

  • Gauss's law is a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.
  • Gauss's law can be used to derive Coulomb's law, and vice versa.
  • In fact, Gauss's law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss's law is more general than Coulomb's law.
  • Gauss's law has a close mathematical similarity with a number of laws in other areas of physics, such as Gauss's law for magnetism and Gauss's law for gravity.
  • In fact, any "inverse-square law" can be formulated in a way similar to Gauss's law: For example, Gauss's law itself is essentially equivalent to the inverse-square Coulomb's law, and Gauss's law for gravity is essentially equivalent to the inverse-square Newton's law of gravity.

• Reduction

• The End of the War

  • SS General Karl Wolff, after prolonged unauthorized secret negotiations with the western Allies (Operation Sunrise), which the Soviets viewed as an attempt to reach a separate peace, ordered all German armed forces in Italy to cease hostilities, and surrendered unconditionally to the Allies on May 2.

• Common Law

  • Law of the United States was mainly derived from the common law system of English law.
  • At both the federal and state levels, the law of the United States was mainly derived from the common law system of English law , which was in force at the time of the Revolutionary War.
  • American judges, like common law judges elsewhere, not only apply the law, they also make the law.
  • As a result, the laws of any given state invariably differ from the laws of its sister states.
  • Instead, it must be regarded as 50 separate systems of tort law, family law, property law, contract law, criminal law, and so on.
