Casimir entropy is an important aspect of casimir effect and at the nanoscale is visible. In this paper, we employ the path integral method to ‎obtain a‎ ‎general‎ relation for casimir entropy and ‎i‎nternal energy of arbitrary shaped objects in the presence of two, three and four dimension scalar fields and ‎the‎ electromagnetic field. For this purpose, using Lagrangian and based on a perturb...

This article describes an accurate subPico flowmeter bifurcatedin to liquid and gas flowrates less than 1mol/s for both MEMS/NEMS and cryogenic technology applications. The MEMS/NEMS are described as either two Gauges (instrument), or quartz fluctuating forks, even if the liquid or gas flows through an element, as well as cryogenic technology consisting of arrays of e...

To understand how nest temperatures influence phenotypic traits of reptilian hatchlings, the effects of fluctuating temperature on hatchling traits must be known. Most investigations, however, have only considered the effects of constant temperatures. We incubated eggs of Takydromus septentrionalis (Lacertidae) at constant (24 degrees C, 27 degrees C, 30 degrees C and 33 degrees C) and fluctuat...

A new concept for estimating the bacterial growth under temperature fluctuations was hypothesized and validated using Clostridium perfringens as a test organism. This new methodology was based on the Gompertz models to calculate the equivalent growth times under different temperatures, and estimated the bacterial population under temperature fluctuations. The new concept was tested in ground be...

The temperature dependence of the static dielectric susceptibility of a system with strongly coupled fluctuating dipoles is calculated within a self-consistent mean fluctuation field approximation. Results are qualitatively in good agreement with a quantum paraelectric SrTiO(3) in the low temperature regime. We identify this system as a gapped quantum paraelectric and suggest a possible experim...

We have performed small-angle Rayleigh light-scattering measurements in polymer solutions under various externally applied temperature gradients. Our experiments confirm the existence of an enhancement of the concentration fluctuations. The nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations are proportional to s=Td2yk4, where =T is the applied temperature gradient, and k is the wave number of the fluctu...

A scaling relationship for OPDrms that accounts for the fluctuating total temperature profile within a turbulent boundary is derived from the modified Crocco relation. Experimental data from heated, compressible boundary layers at six subsonic Mach numbers in two wind tunnel facilities are shown to be consistent with the theory. The results show that a temperature mismatch between the freestrea...

Two geometrically frustrated pyrochlore stannates, undergoing long range magnetic order below 1 K, were investigated at very low temperature. Anomalies in the behaviour of hyperfine quantities are found, by 155Gd Mössbauer spectroscopy in Gd2Sn2O7 and by low temperature specific heat measurements in Tb2Sn2O7. They are interpreted in terms of fluctuations of the correlated Gd or Tb spins, using ...
