  2. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    The Brayton cycle, also known as the Joule cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the operation of certain heat engines that have air or some other gas as their working fluid. It is characterized by isentropic compression and expansion, and isobaric heat addition and rejection, though practical engines have adiabatic rather than ...

  3. Inverted Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Brayton_cycle

    The basic scheme of the IBC and temperature-enthalpy diagram are presented in figures 1 and 2. [4] For external heat sources or high temperature storage systems, the closed process design of the inverted Brayton Cycle is also possible. The overall efficiency can thus be significantly increased. [5]

    The eight-circuit model of consciousness is a holistic model originally presented as psychological philosophy (abbreviated "psy-phi" [1]) by Timothy Leary in books including Neurologic (1973) and Exo-Psychology (1977), later expanded on by Robert Anton Wilson in his books Cosmic Trigger (1977) [2] and Prometheus Rising (1983), and by Antero Alli in his books Angel Tech (1985) and The Eight ...

    Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, as articulated in the second half of the 20th century by Erik Erikson in collaboration with Joan Erikson, [1] is a comprehensive psychoanalytic theory that identifies a series of eight stages that a healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late adulthood.

    The term mental model is believed to have originated with Kenneth Craik in his 1943 book The Nature of Explanation. [1] [2] Georges-Henri Luquet in Le dessin enfantin (Children's drawings), published in 1927 by Alcan, Paris, argued that children construct internal models, a view that influenced, among others, child psychologist Jean Piaget.

  7. Carnot battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_battery

    The reverse Rankine cycle has been widely used in conventional heat pumps. The concept of using the Brayton cycle for charging and discharging thermal energy was proposed by Prof. Robert B. Laughlin in 2017. [10] Others: In liquid air energy storage systems, the Claude Cycle is used to liquify air. The Lamm–Honigmann process uses ...

  8. Schema (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_(psychology)

    In psychology and cognitive science, a schema (pl.: schemata or schemas) describes a pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of information and the relationships among them. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It can also be described as a mental structure of preconceived ideas, a framework representing some aspect of the world, or a system of ...

  9. Beck's cognitive triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck's_cognitive_triad

    The triad forms part of his cognitive theory of depression [4] and the concept is used as part of CBT, particularly in Beck's "Treatment of Negative Automatic Thoughts" (TNAT) approach. The triad involves "automatic, spontaneous and seemingly uncontrollable negative thoughts" about the self , the world or environment , and the future.
