A Resource Theory for Work and Heat
Several recent results in the field of quantum thermodynamics have been obtained using the tools of quantum information theory and resource theories. So far, the resource theories utilised to describe quantum thermodynamics have assumed the existence of an infinite thermal reservoir, by declaring that thermal states at some background temperature come for free. Here, we propose a resource theor...
متن کاملFluctuation symmetries for work and heat.
We consider a particle dragged through a medium at constant temperature as described by a Langevin equation with a time-dependent potential. The time dependence is specified by an external protocol. We give conditions on potential and protocol under which the fluctuations of the dissipative work satisfy an exact symmetry for all times. We also present counterexamples to that fluctuation theorem...
متن کاملWork Design Theory: A Review and Critique with Implications for Human Resource Development
Six theoretical perspectives on work design are examined for their contributions to our understanding of how work is organized and designed in organizations: sociotechnical systems theory, process improvement, adaptive structuration theory, the job characteristics model, technostructural change models, and activity theory. A critique of these theories raises concerns about their ability to expl...
متن کاملResource Mobilization Theory: Political Movement in Egypt
This paper discusses the application of the resource mobilization theory (RMT) to clarify the activities of certain key socio-political groups and movements in Egypt up till 2011. It contends that the political movements in the country have utilized information and communication technologies (ICTs) and social networks sites (SNSs) as a tool for mobilizing people and coordinating anti-regime act...
متن کاملContext as a resource for diagnostic work
This Position Paper provides a description of our ongoing work with the Paris fire-fighter brigade. Based on our pragmatic experience in designing and developing ubiquitous computing solutions for a domain that poses complex physical and cognitive restrictions, we believe that there is a need for a post-positivistic perspective on context aware systems. Here we came up with the design concept o...
