We investigate the main features of a pilot wave representation of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation recently advanced by Nobre, Rego-Monteiro, and Tsallis (NRT) on the basis of Tsallis q-thermo-statistical formalism. The present approach sheds new light upon the NRT equation. In particular,...

An exact analysis of the N-dimensional blackbody radiation process in a nonextensive à la Tsallis scenario is performed for values of the nonextensive's index in the range (0q1). The recently advanced “Optimal Lagrange Multipliers” technique has been employed. The results are consistent...

The proper way of averaging is an important question with regards to Tsallis’ Thermostatistics. Three different procedures have been thus far employed in the pertinent literature. The third one, i.e., the Tsallis–Mendes–Plastino (TMP) (Physica A 261 (1998) 534) normalization procedure,...

We show how to reconcile Tsallis’ thermostatistics with thermodynamics’ zeroth law, by recourse to the so-called optimal Lagrange multipliers formalism. The central concept is that of not identifying in the usual fashion the inverse temperature with the Lagrange multiplier associated to the...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the biomechanical effects of footwear on steady state walking of a user. An initial subjective preference of the footwear was identified which was validated biomechanically in relation to the kinetic parameters of gait. The subject underwent 3D gait...

This article describes a Group (VI) modified Co-Zr-B amorphous nano alloys were prepared in situ ultrasound-assisted reduction by sodium borohydride in an aqueous solution. Co-Cr-Zr-B, Co-Mo-Zr-B and Co-W-Zr-B powders were characterized by XRD, FESEM, BET and ICP techniques. No distinct peak...

Current driven by electron Bernstein waves (EBW) and by the electron bootstrap effect are calculated separately and concurrently with a kinetic code, to determine the degree of synergy between them. A target {beta} = 40% NSTX plasma is examined. A simple bootstrap model in the CQL3D...
