- ‘Another example of microstructural control is that aragonite with complex microstructures can dissolve more rapidly than thermodynamically less stable magnesian calcite.’
- ‘However, although they are thermodynamically favourable, these reactions probably did not occur in the solar nebula because the vapour phase hydration of rock in a near-vacuum is a very slow process.’
- ‘Gibb's free energy calculations allow one to determine whether a given reaction will be thermodynamically favorable.’
- ‘A mutated sequence is considered thermodynamically stable if both computational parameters are above predetermined thresholds (Bastolla et al. 2003).’
