Image Physical systems.gif thumb right 175px PhysicalSystem example In physics , the word system has a technical meaning, namely, it is the portion of the physical universe chosen for analysis. Everything outside the system is known as the environment systems environment , which in analysis is ignored except for its effects on the system. The cut between system and the world is a free choice, generally made to simplify the analysis as much as possible. An isolated system is one which has negligible interaction with its environment. Often a system in this sense is chosen to correspond to the more usual meaning of system , such as a particular machine. But physical systems are often more esoteric ... as physical systems.

Complexity in physical systems The complexity of a physicalsystem is equal to the probability of it being in a particular state vector . If one considers a classical Newtonian mechanics Newtonian ball situation with a number of perfectly moving physical bodies bouncing off the walls of a container, the system state probability does not change over time. The entropy of the system changes over time, but the probability of the state vector does not change. One can periodically evaluate the complexity of this system, and the complexity of this system does not change. In a physicalsystem, a lower probability state vector is equivalent to a higher complexity. A self sustaining low probability state vector allows the physicalsystem to remain in a higher ...

Unreferenced date December 2009 Physical inventory is a process where a business physically counts its entire inventory. A physical inventory may be mandated by financial accounting rules or the tax regulations to place an accurate value on the inventory, or the business may need to count inventory so component parts or raw materials can be restocked. Businesses may use several different tactics to minimize the disruption caused by physical inventory. Inventory services provide labour economics labor and automation to quickly count inventory and minimize shutdown time. Inventory control system software can speed the physical inventory process. A perpetual inventory system tracks the receipt and use of inventory, and calculates the quantity on hand. Cycle count ing, an alternative to physical inventory, may be less disruptive. The Finance or Business Manager of the unit is responsible for ensuring the annual physical inventory is properly performed, inventory records reflect actual quantities on hand, inventory valuation methods are appropriate, and adjustments are entered in the University s accounting system on a timely basis. In addition, the Finance or Business Manager is responsible for ensuring that segregation of duties is maintained throughout the inventory process to promote the safeguarding of the assets, protection of employees, and objective reporting of inventory. Specifically, no one person should be able to authorize a transaction e.g., a purchase or sale , record the transaction, have custody of the inventory, and perform the related reconciliation.

In the American National Standards Institute ANSI four schema architecture, the internal schema was the view of data that involved data management technology. This was as opposed to the external schema that reflected the view of each person in the organization, or the conceptual schema that was the integration of a set of external schemas. Subsequently the internal schema was recognized to have two parts The logical schema was the way data were represented to conform to the constraints of a particular approach to database management. At that time the choices were hierarchical and network. Describing the logical schema, however, still did not describe how physically data would be stored on disk drives. That is the domain of the physical schema . Now logical schemas describe data in terms of relational tables and columns , object oriented classes , and XML tags .
