The article addresses the issue of Philomath generation from a regional (Podlasie) perspective with reference to group’s borderland features. In addition demonstrating interest Philomaths in what is related place and its peculiarities (for example, language history), “borderland-ness” biography Podlasie Philarets evidenced, among other things, by frequent necessity move also within borderlands,...

Abstract Drawing on multimodal conversation analysis as a method, this article explores the role of embodiment and tactility in negotiating peer relations classroom interaction. We aim at discussing how social between peers are locally constructed negotiated through embodied, tactile-haptic, spatial practices during activities. The focus empirical is students sequentially co-construct specific ...

Ehrenfest urns with interaction that are connected in a ring is considered as paradigm model for non-equilibrium thermodynamics and shown to exhibit two distinct steady states (NESS) of uniform non-uniform particle distributions. As the inter-particle attraction varies, first order phase transition occurs between these NESSs characterized by coexistence regime. The boundaries, NESS distribution...

In the 1980s it was theoretically predicted that correlations of various observables in a fluid non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) are extraordinarily long-ranged, extending, well-defined sense, over size system. This is to be contrasted with an equilibrium fluid, whose range typically just few particle diameters. These NESS were later confirmed by numerous experimental studies. Unlike long-ra...

In this paper, the Ness-Helleseth functions over Fpn defined by the form f(x) = ux pn−1 2 −1 + x n −2 are proven to be a new class of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions and they are CCZ-inequivalent with all other known APN functions when p ≥ 7. The original method of Ness and Helleseth showing the functions are APN for p = 3 and odd n ≥ 3 is also suitable for showing their APN property f...

A serious defect with the Halpern-Pearl (HP) definition of causality is repaired by combining a theory of causality with a theory of defaults. In addition, it is shown that (despite a claim to the contrary) a cause according to the HP condition need not be a single conjunct. A definition of causality motivated by Wright’s NESS test is shown to always hold for a single conjunct. Moreover, condit...

Based on a master equation formalism for mesoscopic, unimolecular biochemical reactions, we show the periodic oscillation arising from severe nonequilibrium pumping is intimately related to the periodic motion in recently studied stochastic resonance (SR). The white noise in SR is naturally identified with the temperature in the biochemical reactions; the drift in the SR is associated with the ...

Biochemical systems and processes in living cells generally operate far from equilibrium. This review presents an overview of a statistical thermodynamic treatment for such systems, with examples from several key components in cellular signal transduction. Open-system nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS) models are introduced. The models account quantitatively for the energetics and thermodynamic...
