We derive upper and lower bounds for the efficiency of an isothermal molecular machine operating at maximum power. The upper bound is reached when the activated state is close to the fueling or reactant state (Eyring-like), while the lower bound is reached when the activated state is close to the product state (Kramers-like).

The objective of this work is to develop a mathematical model for evaluating the effect of temperature on the rate of microbial growth. The new mathematical model is derived by combination and modification of the Arrhenius equation and the Eyring-Polanyi transition theory. The new model, suitable for both suboptimal and the entire growth temperature ranges, was validated using a collection of 2...

The study of double-diffusive convection has received considerable attention during the last several decades since this occurs in a wide range of natural settings. The origins of these studies can be traced to oceanography when hot salty water lies over cold fresh water of a higher density resulting in double-diffusive instabilities known as “salt-fingers,” Stern (35; 36). Typical technological...

Dingwell, D.B., 1990. Effects of structural relaxation on cationic tracer diffusion in silicate melts. Chem. Geol., 82: 209-216. The glass transition in silicate melts is a curve in time-temperature space marking the transition of the melt structure from an unrelaxed, disequilibrium glass to a relaxed, equilibrium liquid. Tracer diffusivity data obtained in glasses vs. liquids cannot be compare...

In this paper we explore how far the post-Newtonian theory, [9] goes in overcoming the difficulties associated with anisotropic homogeneous cosmologies in the Newtonian approximation. It will be shown that, unlike in the Newtonian case, the cosmological equations of the post-Newtonian approximation are much more in the spirit of general relativity with regard to the nine Bianchi types and issue...

The topic of this thesis is a diffusion process on a potential landscape which is given by a smooth Hamiltonian function in the regime of small noise. The work provides a new proof of the Eyring-Kramers formula for the Poincaré inequality of the associated generator of the diffusion. The Poincaré inequality characterizes the spectral gap of the generator and establishes the exponential rate of ...

although there are many excellent ways presenting the principle of the classical calculus, the novel presentations probably leads most naturally to the development of the non-newtonian calculus. the important point to note is that the non-newtonian calculus is a self-contained system independent of any other system of calculus. since this self-contained work is intended for a wide audience, inc...

In an irrotational dust universe, the locally free gravitational field is covariantly described by the gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic tensors Eab and Hab. In Newtonian theory, Hab = 0 and Eab is the tidal tensor. Newtonian-like dust universes in general relativity (i.e. with Hab = 0, often called ‘silent’) have been shown to be inconsistent in general and unlikely to extend beyond the kn...
