in 1987 decided to produce an edited version of the minutes of the society from its inception in 1908. The result is a narrative that is surprisingly readable and records faithfully what the medical fraternity in Bath were thinking and writing papers about, the clinical cases they presented and how they conducted their affairs. The book which runs to 248 pages was obviously a labour of love for...

We demonstrate that a finite bath fluctuation theorem of the Crooks type holds for systems that have been thermalized via weakly coupling them to a bath with energy independent finite specific heat. We show that this theorem reduces to the known canonical and microcanonical fluctuation theorems in the two respective limiting cases of infinite and vanishing specific heat of the bath. The result ...

the legislator has not an explicit view about revision to judgments based on definitive oath. this point has caused disagreement between judges and lawyers. such disagreement may be entitled the losing party to petition in revision court in one case and deprive other losing party from it in similar case. in addition, the lawyers doubt in basis of rule in article 369 of civil procedure code base...

the principle of party-disposition (or what is called “le principe dispositif” in the french law) is one of the guiding principles for civil trial. according to this principle, the civil proceeding is regarded as the parties’s thing, so they can make any disposition on their proceeding, inter alia they are be able to commence and terminate it, determine the matters of fact and finally judge is ...

I study the strategic incentives to coordinate votes in an assembly. Coalitions form voting blocs, acting as single players and affecting the policy outcome. In an assembly with two exogenous parties I show how the incentives to accept party discipline depend on the types of the agents, the sizes of the parties, and the rules the blocs use to aggregate preferences. In a game of fully endogenous...

t is possible to extract work from a quantum-mechanical system whose dynamics is governed by a time-dependent cyclic Hamiltonian. An energy bath is required to operate such a quantum engine in place of the heat bath used to run a conventional classical thermodynamic heat engine. The effect of the energy bath is to maintain the expectation value of the system Hamiltonian during an isoenergetic p...

We investigate the interaction of a particle with a finite-size bath represented by a set of independent linear oscillators with frequencies that fall within a finite bandwidth. We discover that when the oscillators have particular frequency distributions, the finite-size bath behaves much as an infinite-size bath exhibiting dissipation properties and thus allowing irreversible energy absorptio...

Introduction In this paper we explain recent changes in urban structures and CBD functions in Vienna by entrepreneurial decisions to locate office buildings. The decisions to site office facilities are seen, in turn, as dependent on quantitative and qualitative demand for office space, and on the particular spatial conditions of the local office supply. The question we are dealing with in this ...

In the present work an evaluation was carried out on the effect dye-bath pH and mordant type on the obtained shades and fastness properties in wool dyeing with cochineal. In this way wool samples were first mordanted with four different mordants and subsequently dyed with cochineal at different levels of dye-bath pH. Colorimetric evaluations were carried out and fastness properties of the dyed ...
