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...

A generalized model taking into account the photoisomerization influence on the nematic ordering is presented. This generalized theory is used to investigate the effect of the nonextensivity on the concentration dependence of the long-range order parameter. The q-dependent variation of the...

In this study, thermoluminescence decay is investigated within Tsallis thermostatistics (TT). We believe that this is the first attempt to handle the thermoluminescence decay process within TT. The generalized form of glow intensity vs temperature is examined and the effect of the...

The influence of the dimerization process on the nematic ordering is investigated by using a nonextensive thermostatistics, namely Tsallis thermostatistics (TT). A theoretical model taking into account the dimerization influence on the nematic scalar order parameter has been recently presented...

We show how the demon of Frieden and Soffer, working in a nonextensive statistical scenario, is able to devise solutions to some of Einstein’s field equations by recourse to nonlocal changes of variables between appropriate differential equations. It is seen that a variety of cosmological...

This is a seminar based on research literature. Papers covered are selected to illustrate important problems and approaches in the field of computational and systems biology, and provide students a framework from which to evaluate new developments. The MIT Initiative in Computational and Systems...

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...

The mechanics of the flowing granular materials such as coal, agricultural products, at deal of attention as it has fertilizers, dry chemicals, metal ores, etc. have received a great deal of attention as it has relevance to several important technological problems. Despite wide interest and more...
