Daily rhythms of behavior are controlled by a circuit of circadian pacemaking neurons. In Drosophila, 150 pacemakers participate in this network, and recent observations suggest that the network is divisible into M and E oscillators, which normally…

The scaling of the optimal cooling power of a reciprocating quantum refrigerator is sought as a function of the cold bath temperature as Tc to 0. The working medium consists of noninteracting particles in a harmonic potential. Two closed-form…

This book lays out a vision for a coherent framework for understanding complex systems. However, it should be viewed as a beginning rather than an end. There is still a great deal to be done in making more detailed connections to real problems and…

Photosynthetically-active radiation is a necessary input in applications dealing with plant physiology, biomass production and natural illumination in greenhouses. Unfortunately, a worldwide routine network for the measurement of…

A modified SAFT equation of state is developed by applying the perturbation theory of Barker and Henderson to a hard-chain reference fluid. With conventional one-fluid mixing rules, the equation of state is applicable to mixtures of small spherical…

The ancestor of recent vertebrate teeth was a tooth-like structure on the outer body surface of jawless fishes. Over the course of 500,000,000 years of evolution, many of those structures migrated into the mouth cavity. In addition, the total number…

A comprehensive discussion of heat transfer by thermal radiation is presented, including the radiative behavior of materials, radiation between surfaces, and gas radiation. Among the topics considered are property prediction by electromagnetic…

The observation that, for unstressed plants, light use efficiency of a plant canopy, defined as the ratio of net primary productivity (NPP) to absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR), is approximately constant with respect to changes in…

This book provides a comprehensive account of the modern theory for the dynamical properties of polymer solutions. The theory has undergone dramatic evolution over the last two decades due to the introduction of new methods and concepts that have…

Recently a generalized master equation was derived that extends the Lindblad theory to highly non-Markovian quantum processes (H.-P. Breuer, Phys. Rev. A textbf75, 022103 (2007)). We perform a stochastic unravelling of this master equation by…

The characteristic features of alpha - and beta - relaxation in the supercooled state of nonnetwork forming liquids and polymers are reviewed. Particular emphasis is put on properties observed recently by neutron scattering and molecular dynamics…

Here we show that dielectrophoretic (DEP) liquid actuation can be used to dispense arrays of nanoliter-sized droplets loaded with biomolecules. Size-based enrichment of these biomolecules occurs rapidly and simultaneously with the droplet…

The arsenic (As) spectral interference observed in the determination of cadmium (Cd) by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was studied in atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) using flame (FAAS) and graphite furnace…

A thin membrane heat-pipe solar collector was designed and constructed to allow heat from solar radiation to be collected at a relatively high efficiency while keeping the capital cost low. A theoretical model incorporating a set of heat balance…
