متن کاملOn a Definition of Temperature in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Systems
We combine the definition of temperature for an Hamiltonian dynamical system, with the Hamiltonian representation of a nonequilibrium isokinetic steady state, to obtain an expression for the temperature away from equilibrium. Results of numerical simulations performed to assess the validity of this approach for color field systems are reported. A strong correlation between the kinetic temperatu...
متن کاملAlterations in flowering strategies and sexual allocation of Caragana stenophylla along a climatic aridity gradient
Plant can alter reproductive strategies for adaptation to different environments. However, alterations in flowering strategies and sexual allocation for the same species growing in different environments still remain unclear. We examined the sexual reproduction parameters of Caragana stenophylla across four climatic zones from semi-arid, arid, very arid, to intensively arid zones in the Inner M...
متن کاملLinking Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Dynamics in Glass-Forming Systems.
Understanding nonequilibrium glassy dynamics is of great scientific and technological importance. However, prediction of the temperature, thermal history, and composition dependence of nonequilibrium viscosity is challenging due to the noncrystalline and nonergodic nature of the glassy state. Here, we show that the nonequilibrium glassy dynamics are intimately connected with the equilibrium liq...
متن کاملEquilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of systems with long-range interactions
We briefly review some equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of systems with long-range interactions. Such systems, which are characterized by a potential that weakly decays at large distances, have striking properties at equilibrium, like negative specific heat in the microcanonical ensemble, temperature jumps at first order phase transitions, broken ergodicity. Here, we mainly restrict ou...
