Abstract Thermodynamic resources, beyond their well-known usefulness in work extraction and other thermodynamic tasks, are often important also tasks that not evidently thermodynamic. Here we develop a framework for identifying such resources diverse applications of bosonic continuous-variable systems. Introducing the class linear thermal operations to model operationally feasible processes, ap...

ground settlement is often the most serious concern when tunneling under an old city with numerous historic monuments. a successful engineering design under these conditions would require getting the most out of the ground strength parameters and avoiding any weakening maneuver throughout the operation. knowing that surface settlement is highly affected by tunneling parameters in epb shield tun...

The most common method for quantifying small-molecule drugs in blood samples is by liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry. Few immuno-based assays are available for the detection of small-molecule drugs in blood. Here we report on a homogeneous assay that enables detection of the concentration of digoxin spiked into in a plasma sample. The assay is based on a shift in the e...

Institutional barriers to entry were removed to a considerable extent in 1996 in the Dutch retail sector. Three years before that the regulator decided to not take legal actions anymore against entrants violating institutional requirements. In the current analysis we investigate the effects of the deregulation during that 1993-1995 period using a recently developed model by Carree and Thurik (1...

In this work, we used reflexive Banach spaces to study the differential variational—hemivariational inequality problems with constraints. We established a sequence of perturbed variational–hemivariational constraints and penalty coefficients. Then, for each inequality, proved unique solvability convergence solutions problems. Following that, proposed mathematical model viscoelastic rod in unila...

We obtain approximate analytical solutions of the Einstein equations close to trapping horizon for a dynamical spherically symmetric black hole in presence minimally coupled self-interacting scalar field. This is made possible by new parametrization metric, which displacement from as well its expansion rate feature explicitly. Our results are valid neighbourhood and hold any field potential spa...
