Equilibration of granular subsystems†
We experimentally investigate the steady states of two granular assemblies differing in their material properties and allowed to exchange volume with each other under external agitation in the vicinity of their jamming transition. We extract the statistics of various static and dynamic quantities, and uncover a materials-independent relationship between the average packing fraction and its fluc...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radiology and Pathology Subsystems of Hospital Information Systems
Background & Aims: Compliance with standards of designing information systems leads to efficient utilization and ease of use for consumers. In this study, the compliance of the radiology and pathology subsystems of a hospital information system with ISO 9241 section 12 was assessed in selected hospitals affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Methods...
متن کاملThermal equilibration between two quantum systems.
Two identical finite quantum systems prepared initially at different temperatures, isolated from the environment, and subsequently brought into contact are demonstrated to relax towards Gibbs-like quasiequilibrium states with a common temperature and small fluctuations around the time-averaged expectation values of generic observables. The temporal thermalization process proceeds via a chain of...
متن کاملComparing classical and quantum equilibration.
By using a physically relevant and theory independent definition of measurement-based equilibration, we show quantitatively that equilibration is easier for quantum systems than for classical systems, in the situation where the initial state of the system is completely known (a pure state). This shows that quantum equilibration is a fundamental aspect of many quantum systems, while classical eq...
متن کاملCanonical versus noncanonical equilibration dynamics of open quantum systems.
In statistical mechanics, any quantum system in equilibrium with its weakly coupled reservoir is described by a canonical state at the same temperature as the reservoir. Here, by studying the equilibration dynamics of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a reservoir, we evaluate microscopically the condition under which the equilibration to a canonical state is valid. It is revealed that the ...
