An isothermal process [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_process] is one which occurs at a constant temperature. In order for such a process to occur there should be a heat reservoir [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_reservoir], a large body in thermal contact with the system which has a temperature that will not significantly change as heat is exchanged with it. We will consider a quasi...

The First Law of Thermodynamics is developed from fundamentals for open, nonequilibrium systems of seawater in motion, exchanging salt and freshwater internally and with their surroundings, and varying continuously in temperature, pressure, and salinity. The aim is clarity and consistency of concepts ⎯ and precision in the accompanying vocabulary. Particular attention is given to the way in whi...

The use of social science—of psychology in particular—to inform legal theory and practice is fast becoming the latest craze in the pages of legal academia. Books and symposia have recently been devoted to the interplay between psychology and law and between emotions and the law, and to the application of other psychological and social scientific research to legal questions. An increasing number...

Using the Spitzer IRAC camera we have obtained mid-IR photometry of the red giant branch stars in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tuc. About 100 stars show an excess of mid-infrared light above that expected from their photospheric emission. This is plausibly due to dust formation in mass flowing from these stars. This mass loss extends down to the level of the horizontal branch and increases ...

We study the thermodynamics of Kaluza-Klein black holes with momentum along the compact dimension, but vanishing angular momentum. These black holes are stationary, but non-rotating. We derive the first law for these spacetimes and find that the parameter conjugate to variations in the length of the compact direction is an effective tension, which generally differs from the ADM tension. For the...
