A collision between relativistic ions will sometimes, if the temperatures/energies of the particles are high enough, create a temporary state known as a quark-gluon plasma: where even individual ...

Consider a topologically transitive countable Markov shift and, let 𝑓 be a summable potential with bounded variation and finite Gurevic pressure. We prove that there exists an equilibrium state ...

In this paper an equation describing the dynamic behavior of a nonlinear beam with viscous damping is treated. In particular it is shown that when the trivial solution is the only equilibrium solution ...

Chaperones are specialized proteins in the cell that help other proteins to reach their functional 3D shapes, which correspond to the states preferred at thermodynamic equilibrium. But a new study ...

"Sustainability" and "resilience" have become buzzwords in recent years, but many people don't know what either term really means. As an economist who studies environmental issues, I believe an ...
