The connection between the balance structure of the evolution equations of higher order fluxes and different forms of the entropy current is investigated on the example of rigid heat conductors. It is argued that Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics with dynamic degrees of freedom gives a proper general frame of these investigations. Thermodynamic closure relations are derived.

When Stanley Kubrick first met his co-writer for the screenplay Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick asked him if he was familiar with “the concept of Jung” and “the concept of the Shadow, of our hidden side” (Herr 6). This fascination with the Jungian archetypes of order and chaos permeates throughout the film Full Metal Jacket in the plot, mis-en-scene, and cinematography. Furthermore, Kubrick takes th...

Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common type of bone tumor for which there has been limited therapeutic progress over the past three decades. The prevalence transcriptional addiction in cancer cells emphasizes biological significance and clinical relevance super-enhancers. In this study, we found that Max-like protein X (MLX), member Myc-MLX network, driven by Upregulation MLX predicts poor prog...

The ISO 52000–1:2017 is the overarching Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) standard, providing general framework EPB assessment. It applicable to assessment overall energy use a building, by measurement or calculation, and calculation performance in terms primary other energy-related metrics. 52000–1 provides profound guidelines, but also gives freedom adapt guidelines with national standard...

Gravitational radiation reaction forces and balance equations for energy and momenta are investigated to 3/2 post-Newtonian (1.5PN) order beyond the quadrupole approximation, corresponding to the 4PN order in the equations of motion of an isolated system. By matching a post-Newtonian solution for the gravitational field inside the system to a post-Minkowskian solution (obtained in a previous wo...

Koppel et al s recent report on computerized physician order entry (CPOE) evaluated its role in facilitating medication errors [1]. Such studies are important because they can inform us regarding how to improve technologies like CPOE. This evaluation is also valuable because the authors studied a vendor-built product, and vendor-developed applications are the predominant type used in the U.S. t...

Energy balance method EBM is extended for high-order nonlinear oscillators. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method, a cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator was chosen. The maximum relative errors of the frequencies of the oscillator read 1.25% and 0.6% for the firstand second-order approximation, respectively. The third-order approximation has an accuracy as high as 0.008%. Excellent agreemen...

The radial responses of free or encapsulated micro-bubbles excited by a plane wave of large wavelength are governed by NonLinear Ordinary Differential Equations (NL-ODEs). The nonlinear frequency response details the harmonic content of the time response and constitutes the expected outcome of a high order harmonic analysis. In this paper, a high order harmonic balance analysis of the ”RNNP” (b...
