Has the Second Law of Thermodynamics Really Been Violated?
Some works have appeared in recent accredited literature considering the possibility of macroscopic violations of the second law in simulated as well as really executed experiments. We argue the inexistence of such violations in experiments based on the so-called nonbias diode, demonstrating that the interpretation of the authors is flawed by a confusion between the concepts of thermal equilibr...
متن کاملInformed consent: is it really understood?
Pre-operative counselling is an important part of the care that we give to our patients undergoing surgery. It ensures that the patients understand about their disease and the procedure that they are undergoing. This study was done with the objective of finding whether or not the patients do actually understand what has been explained to them. This is a prospective study done in the form of a s...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 4 Has Dark Energy really been discovered in the Lab ?
We show that Dark Energy contributions can not be determined from noise measurements of Josephson junctions, as was recently suggested in a paper by C. Beck and M.C. Mackey. Zero-point energies and non-gravitational effects In a recent paper [1] of C. Beck and M.C. Mackey the possibility was suggested that part of the zero-point energy of the radiation field that is gravitationally active can b...
متن کاملNew Claims from Paul Sharp - But Has the Source of HIV-1 Really Been Located?
February 2006. In recent days there has been much press coverage about new claims by American, British and Belgian scientists that they have discovered the geographical source of AIDS. These researchers have apparently detected simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) that are closely related to the AIDS pandemic virus, HIV-1, in the stools of wild chimpanzees living in the very south-eastern cor...
متن کاملRebuttal To: Has Dark Energy Really Been Discovered in the Lab?
We argue that a recent discussion of Jetzer and Straumann [Phys. Lett. B 606, 77 (2005)] relating the measured noise spectrum in Josephson junctions to van der Waals forces is incorrect. The measured noise spectrum in Josephson junctions is a consequence of the fluctuation dissipation theorem and the Josephson effect and has nothing to do with van der Waals forces. Consequently, the argument of...
