Passivity, complete passivity, and virtual temperatures [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2015
We give a simple and intuitive proof that the only states which are completely passive, i.e., those states from which work cannot be extracted even with infinitely many copies, are Gibbs states at positive temperatures. The proof makes use of the idea of virtual temperatures, i.e., the association of temperatures to pairs of energy levels (transitions).

Krasovskii’s Passivity

open access: yesIFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019
In this paper we introduce a new notion of passivity which we call Krasovskii's passivity and provide a sufficient condition for a system to be Krasovskii's passive. Based on this condition, we investigate classes of port-Hamiltonian and gradient systems which are Krasovskii's passive.

Passive investors, not passive owners

open access: yesJournal of Financial Economics, 2014
Passive institutional investors are an increasingly important component of U.S. stock ownership. To examine whether and by which mechanisms passive investors influence firms' governance, we exploit variation in ownership by passive mutual funds associated with stock assignments to the Russell 1000 and 2000 indexes.

The Potential of Passivity Beyond the Intentional Model

open access: yesHumana.Mente: Journal of Philosophical Studies, 2022
This article reconfigures Merleau-Ponty’s “Problem of Passivity” into the potential of passivity. It contributes to Claude Lefort’s strong claims that Merleau-Ponty’s Passivity course from 1954-1955 published in the volume of course notes Institution ...

Passive smoking [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Cancer, 1982
Before 1980 the argument that passive smoking was a serious health hazard was rather tenuous. It was claimed that it produced allergic reactions, impaired driving ability, reduced exercise tolerance in patients with cardiorespiratory disease and increased the risk of bronchitis and pneumonia in first-year children.

A Feedback Passivation Design for DC Microgrid and Its DC/DC Converters

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
There are difficulties in analyzing the stability of microgrids since they are located on various network structures. However, considering that the network often consists of passive elements, the passivity theory is applied in this paper to solve the ...
