This study investigates the deformation of free and stress restrained alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC), respectively, under semi-adiabatic condition. The shows first thermal expansion, which is compensated soon by autogenous shrinkage. subsequent cooling down aggravates shrinkage development tensile stress, eventually results in early cracking concrete. show that condition severer for AASC...

Flat radio spectra with large brightness temperatures at the core of AGN and X-ray binaries are usually interpreted as the partially self-absorbed bases of jet flows emitting synchrotron radiation. Here we extend previous models of jets propagating at large angles to our line of sight to self-consistently include the effects of energy losses of the relativistic electrons due to the synchrotron ...

In this article, we study the quantum Carnot engine using a one-dimensional infinite well potential model in which two particles are non-interacting, indistinguishable and have same mass. We find that efficiency of is as there one particle. Moreover, can be measured only when L_C/L_A≥2, where L_A L_C widths during isothermal adiabatic expansion, respectively.

Redshift obeys adiabatic invariance. From this fact it follows that not only the individual photons are dimmed by a factor of z + 1 (if z is the redshift in percent), but the photon flux is reduced by the same factor once more. Hence the luminosity of any source is in the presence of redshift dimmed by a factor of (z+1). This model-independent result possibly "explains away" the excess dimming ...

Adiabatic quantum algorithms are often most easily formulated using many-body interactions. However, experimentally available interactions are generally two-body. In 2004, Kempe, Kitaev, and Regev introduced perturbative gadgets, by which arbitrary three-body effective interactions can be obtained using Hamiltonians consisting only of two-body interactions. These three-body effective interactio...

A major challenge facing adiabatic quantum computing is that algorithm design and error correction can be difficult for adiabatic quantum computing. Recent work has considered addressing this challenge by using coherently controlled adiabatic evolutions in the place of classically controlled evolution. An important question remains: what is the relative power of controlled adiabatic evolution t...

A rigorous and practical approach for simulations of nonadiabatic quantum dynamics is introduced. The algorithm involves a natural extension of the matching-pursuitsplit-operator Fourier-transform (MPSOFT) method [Y. Wu and V. S. Batista, J. Chem. Phys. 121, 1676 (2004)] recently developed for simulations of adiabatic quantum dynamics in multidimensional systems. The MPSOFT propagation scheme, ...

Warm inflation is examined in a multi-field model. Solutions are obtained for expansion e-folds and scalar density perturbations. Nonequilibrium dynamics is restricted to a regime that is displaced only slightly from thermal equilibrium and in which all macroscopic motion is adiabatic. In such a regime, nonequilibrium dynamics is well defined, provided macroscopic motions that displace the ther...

We re-examine the notions of time and evolution in the light of the mathematical properties of the solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation which are revealed by an extended adiabatic treatment. The main advantage of this treatment is to organize the solutions in series that make explicit both the connections with the corresponding Schrödinger equation as well as the modifications introduced by...
