The efficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines is investigated based on the assumption that the rate of irreversible entropy production of the working substance in each "isothermal" process is a quadratic form of the heat exchange rate between the working substance and the reservoir. It is found that the maximum power output corresponds to minimizing the ...

The sequence data (H. Okamoto et al., Hepatol. Res. 10:1-16, 1998) of a newly discovered single-stranded DNA virus, TT virus (TTV), showed that it did not have the terminal structure typical of a parvovirus. Elucidation of the complete genome structure was necessary to understand the nature of TTV. We obtained a 1.0-kb amplified product from serum samples of four TTV carriers by an inverted, ne...

Eleven isobaric experimental series simulate the fractional crystallization of a 1150 km deep lunar magma ocean. Crystallization begins at 1850 oC with olivine (to 32 per cent solidified, pcs), followed 1600 by olivine+opx±Cr-spinel 62 1210 cpx+plagioclase±olivine±Ti-spinel 97 pcs) and 1060 quartz+cpx+plagioclase+Ti-spinel, leaving 1.8 wt% residual that crystallizes minor K-feldspar apatite in ...

Abstract Background Lowering LDL-C treatment goals in the 2019 ESC/EAS guidelines necessitates greater use of combination therapies (1). Cost PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) and efficacy ezetimibe alone as add on limit population level achievement goals. Purpose This simulation study assessed addition oral bempedoic acid (BA) to pathway a real-world cohort patients order assess proportion who might r...

We present a visual proof of a lemma that reduces the proof of the Erdős-Mordell inequality to elementary algebra. In 1935, the following problem proposal appeared in the “Advanced Problems” section of the American Mathematical Monthly [5]: 3740. Proposed by Paul Erdős, The University, Manchester, England. From a point O inside a given triangle ABC the perpendiculars OP , OQ, OR are drawn to it...

INTRODUCTION We describe the overall accuracy and performance of a serial rapid HIV testing algorithm used in community-based HIV testing in the context of a population-based household survey conducted in two sub-districts of uMgungundlovu district, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, against reference fourth-generation HIV-1/2 antibody and p24 antigen combination immunoassays. We discuss implications...
