On Some Forgotten Formulas of L. de Broglie and the Nature of Thermal Time [PDF]
From 1948 until around 1965, Louis de Broglie, awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929 for his fundamental contributions to quantum theory, pursued a systematic study of the formal analogies between wave mechanics and the thermomechanics of Boltzmann

Determination of Cardinal Temperatures and Photoperiodic Response of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa L.) Lines using Linear and Nonlinear Models [PDF]
IntroductionThe length of the growth period is the key to crop adaptation to new environments. It is strongly affected by the environment in such a way that it is possible to predict the length of the growing period based on some correlations with ...

Appearance of Thermal Time [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper a viewpoint that time is an informational and thermal entity is presented. We consider a model for a simple relaxation process for which a relationship among event, time and temperature is mathematically formulated. It is then explicitly illustrated that temperature and time are statistically inferred through measurement of events.

A Crop Modelling Strategy to Improve Cacao Quality and Productivity
Cacao production systems in Colombia are of high importance due to their direct impact in the social and economic development of smallholder farmers. Although Colombian cacao has the potential to be in the high value markets for fine flavour, the lack of

Time-Dependent Thermal Transport Theory [PDF]
Understanding thermal transport in nanoscale systems presents important challenges to both theory and experiment. In particular, the concept of local temperature at the nanoscale appears difficult to justify. Here, we propose a novel theoretical approach where we replace the temperature gradient with controllable external black-body radiations.

Minimum-Time Thermal Dose Control of Thermal Therapies [PDF]
The problem of controlling noninvasive thermal therapies is formulated as the problem of directly controlling thermal dose of the target. To limit the damage to the surrounding normal tissue, the constraints on the peak allowable temperatures in the selected spacial locations are imposed.
