Work and reversibility in quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
It is a central question in quantum thermodynamics to determine how irreversible is a process that transforms an initial state $\rho$ to a final state $\sigma$, and whether such irreversibility can be thought of as a useful resource.

A stability-reversibility map unifies elasticity, plasticity, yielding, and jamming in hard sphere glasses [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
A stability-reversibility map unifies the response of amorphous solids to volume and shear deformations. Amorphous solids, such as glasses, have complex responses to deformations, with substantial consequences in material design and applications. In this

Reversibility of laser filamentation

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the reversibility of laser filamentation, a self-sustained, non-linear propagation regime including dissipation and time-retarded effects.

Reverse-engineering Reverse Mathematics

open access: yesAnnals of Pure and Applied Logic, 2013
Abstract An important open problem in Reverse Mathematics (Montalban, 2011 [16] ; Simpson, 2009 [25] ) is the reduction of the first-order strength of the base theory from I Σ 1 to I Δ 0 + exp . The system ERNA, a version of Nonstandard Analysis based on the system I Δ 0 + exp , provides a partial ...

Mathematical Formalism for Isothermal Linear Irreversibility

open access: yes, 2001
We prove the equivalence among symmetricity, time reversibility, and zero entropy production of the stationary solutions of linear stochastic differential equations.

Conditional reversibility in nonequilibrium stochastic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
For discrete-state stochastic systems obeying Markovian dynamics, we establish the counterpart of the conditional reversibility theorem obtained by Gallavotti for deterministic systems [Ann. de l'Institut Henri Poincar\'e (A) 70, 429 (1999)].

Dematerialization of the Ruins: Glass as a Promising Restorative Material for the Consolidation of Historic Structures

open access: yesChallenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
This research investigates the potential of glass as a new design tool to highlight and safeguard our historic structures. Current restoration and conservation treatments with traditional materials bear the risk of conjecture between the original and new

Record Atmospheric Fresh Water Capture and Heat Transfer with a Material Operating at the Water Uptake Reversibility Limit

open access: yesACS Central Science, 2017
The capture of water vapor at low relative humidity is desirable for producing potable water in desert regions and for heat transfer and storage. Here, we report a mesoporous metal–organic framework that captures 82% water by weight below 30% relative ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Towards Production of a Highly Catalytic and Stable Graphene-Wrapped Graphite Felt Electrode for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

open access: yesBatteries, 2018
Despite the appealing features of vanadium redox flow batteries as a promising energy storage solution, the polarization losses, among other factors, prevent widespread applications. The dominant contribution to these polarization losses is the sluggish (
