– We show that a 3-qubit system as studied for quantum information purposes can alternatively be used as a thermodynamic machine when externally driven in finite time and interfaced between two split baths. The spins are arranged in a chain where the working spin in the middle exercises Carnot cycles the area of which defines the exchanged work. The cycle orientation (sign of the exchanged work...

This paper describes the design of a high speed motion estimator using the Z-D log search algorithm. The architecture consists of 5 simple processing elements (PE) where each PE is capable of computing the sum-of-absolute-difference (SAD) to exploit the parallelism. For each step in the 2-D log search procedure, the 5 SADs of the 5 search points are computed in parallel. The design is implement...

Abstract Introduction 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ‘Ecstasy’ or ‘Molly’) is a synthetic psychostimulant and entactogenic drug of abuse that augments feelings pleasure, increases energy, distorts sensory perception. MDMA serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine neurotransmission within the mesolimbic reward pathway, which impacts human sexual function. While dopamine implicated as facilit...

An optical sensor-based water turbidity value reader has been made with an IR-emitting light source, a red LED, and laser. The tool is as solution for reading values that are impermeable to light-intensity disturbances. In principle, each emitter will always shoot toward the sensor. position of transmitter sensor right between flowing pipes. When flows, read hardness (in analog value). Of cours...

The editorial team greatly appreciates the reviewers who have dedicated their considerable time and expertise to journal’s rigorous process in 2022, regardless of whether submissions were finally published or not. In a total 59 articles submitted journal, with median first decision 78 days, 108 days from submission publication. would like express sincere gratitude following for generous contrib...

The conversion of energy into mechanical work is essential for almost any industrial process. The original description of classical heat engines by Sadi Carnot in 1824 has largely shaped our understanding of work and heat exchange during macroscopic thermodynamic processes1. Equipped with our present-day ability to design and control mechanical devices at microand nanometre length scales, we ar...

Pástorová B. , Buleca J . , Pi l ipãinec, E. ·vick ̆, J . Szarek: Plasma Neuromediators and the Enzymatic Profile of Sheep. Acta Vet. Brno 2000, 69: 277-280. The study focused on the plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine and activity of selected plasma enzymes and LD isoenzyme spectrum in two sheep breeds (Slovak Merino and Improved Valachian) during the anoestrous period. Radioenzymatic method ...

To the Editor: After performing many of the alternatives in bariatric surgery during more than two decades, we read with interest the initial ideas Dr. Rutledge proposed in regard to the Bmini-gastric bypass^ (MGB) and embraced the possibility of performing a very effective operation with fewer risks [1]. Concerned about its major criticism, wemodified the original version of theMGB in order to...


 La terapia antirretroviral de alta eficiencia (TAAE) nació como la combinación tres drogas en 1996, y desde entonces es el estándar cuidado todas las guías tratamiento, debido a su extraordinario impacto reducción morbimortalidad asociada al VIH/sida. Las primeras combinaciones eran complejas tomar tolerar para los pacientes. generaciones personas viviendo con VIH profesionales tratantes...
