Conservation of Energy is Relevant to Physicalism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
I argue against Barbara Montero's claim that Conservation of Energy has nothing to do with physicalism. I reject her reconstruction of the argument for physicalism from CoE, and offer an alternative reconstruction that better captures the intuitions of ...

Energy conservation by a hydrogenase-dependent chemiosmotic mechanism in an ancient metabolic pathway

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Acetogenic bacteria are the most primordial living organisms. They can live solely on inorganic compounds by using carbon monoxide or molecular hydrogen as energy sources to fix carbon dioxide to acetate and rely on a chemiosmotic mechanism ...

Anisotropic thermal property characterizations and optical phonon contribution analysis of ZnO under high pressure

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band-gap semiconductor material with versatile applications in high-tech fields. Under high pressure, ZnO exhibits multiple phase transitions, which are of great significance for the development of photocatalysts, micro-devices

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Wavefunction Collapse and Conservation Laws [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
It is emphasized that the collapse postulate of standard quantum theory can violate conservation of energy-momentum and there is no indication from where the energy-momentum comes or to where it goes. Likewise, in the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (

How energy conservation limits our measurements

open access: yes, 2014
Observations in Quantum Mechanics are subject to complex restrictions arising from the principle of energy conservation. Determining such restrictions, however, has been so far an elusive task, and only partial results are known. In this paper we discuss

On the Conservation of Cross Helicity and Wave Action in Solar-Wind Models with Non-WKB Alfven Wave Reflection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The interaction between Alfven-wave turbulence and the background solar wind affects the cross helicity in two ways. Non-WKB reflection converts outward-propagating Alfven waves into inward-propagating Alfven waves and vice versa, and the turbulence ...

Making the smart meter social promotes long-term energy conservation

open access: yesPalgrave Communications, 2019
Managing demand for energy is becoming increasingly important for efforts to shift toward more sustainable lifestyles. Managing demand for energy involves changes in human behaviour, and can be achieved through more efficient uses of technology, and ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

The role of thermal energy storage in industrial energy conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Thermal Energy Storage for Industrial Applications is a major thrust of the Department of Energy's Thermal Energy Storage Program. Utilizing Thermal Energy Storage (TES) with process or reject heat recovery systems is shown to be extremely beneficial ...
