Entropy and Thermodynamic Temperature in Nonequilibrium Classical Thermodynamics as Immediate Consequences of the Hahn-Banach Theorem: I. Existence [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is a stricture on the nature of heat receipt by any body suffering a cyclic process. It makes no mention of temperature or of entropy. Beginning with a Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law, we show that entropy and temperature -- in particular, existence of functions that relate the ...

Autonomous adaptive noise characterization in quantum computers [PDF]
npj Quantum Inf 6, 53 (2020), 2019 New quantum computing architectures consider integrating qubits as sensors to provide actionable information useful for decoherence mitigation on neighboring data qubits, but little work has addressed how such schemes may be efficiently implemented in order to maximize information utilization.

Electrolysis in Stricture. [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1888 Dear Sir: —Like my friend Dr. J. D. Thomas, of this city, whose paper on the treatment of urethral stricture by electrolysis appeared inThe Journalof August 11, I, a few months ago, purchased the apparatus and entered upon the treatment of a few cases of that affection. The following is an abstract of the record of one case: Wm.

Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.
