Twisted Radio Waves and Twisted Thermodynamics
We present and analyze a gedanken experiment and show that the assumption that an antenna operating at a single frequency can transmit more than two independent information channels to the far field violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Transmission of a large number of channels, each associated with an angular momenta 'twisted wave' mode, to the far field in free space is therefore not po...
متن کاملEffective potentials, thermodynamics, and twisted mass quarks
Using effective Lagrangian arguments, I explore the qualitative behavior expected at finite temperature for two-flavor lattice QCD formulated with Wilson fermions and a twisted mass term. A rather rich phase structure is predicted, exhibiting Aoki’s parity violating phase along with a deconfinement region forming a conical structure in the space of coupling, hopping parameter, and twisted mass ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of twisted DNA with solvent interaction.
The imaginary time path integral formalism is applied to a nonlinear Hamiltonian for a short fragment of heterogeneous DNA with a stabilizing solvent interaction term. Torsional effects are modeled by a twist angle between neighboring base pairs stacked along the molecule backbone. The base pair displacements are described by an ensemble of temperature dependent paths thus incorporating those f...
متن کاملTwisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs.
Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g. Dictyostelium discoideum are characterised by stalk-less slug migration and only produce a stalk upon culmination. Experiments on D. discoideum and theoretical model ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium ribbon model of twisted scroll waves.
We formulate a reduced model to analyze the motion of the core of a twisted scroll wave. The model is first shown to provide a simple description of the onset and nonlinear evolution of the helical state appearing in the sproing bifurcation of scroll waves. It then serves to examine the experimentally studied case of a medium with spatially varying excitability. The model shows the role of spro...
