In this paper, we studied and formulated the relapsed SIR model of a constant size population with standard incidence rate. Also, the optimal control problem with treatment and vaccination as controls, subject to the model is formulated. The analysis carried out on the model, clearly showed that the infection free steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the bas...

We propose a thermodynamic formalism that is expected to apply to a large class of nonequilibrium steady states including a heat conducting fluid, a sheared fluid, and an electrically conducting fluid. We call our theory steady state thermodynamics (SST) after Oono and Paniconi’s original proposal. The construction of SST is based on a careful examination of how the basic notions in thermodynam...

This paper provides a briefdescription ofthe rationale behind steady-state modelling, and ofthe implementation ofthe ECOPATH II software system, a system for straightforward construction, parametrization, and balancing of steady-state trophic models of(aquatic) ecosystems. ECOPATH II is written for MS DOS computers and is available as a public domain software from the ICLARM Software Project. E...

A major upgrade of the Tore Supra heat and particle exhaust capability, known as the CIEL project [P. Garin et al.,this conference] and installed during the year 2000 shutdown, will raise the heat exhaust capability to 25 MW (convected + radiated) steady-state, and the pumping capability to -4 Fa.m3/s, and will allow Tore Supra to investigate high power steady-state plasma operation, with targe...

Modern cosmology began with the realization that there were solutions to Einstein’s theory of gravity discovered by Friedmann and Lemaitre which when combined with the redshift distance relation of Hubble and others could be interpreted as showing that we live in an expanding universe. It was then only elementary logic to argue that if time reversal was applied, the universe must originally hav...
