We demonstrate how the reciprocating heat cycle of a quantum Otto engine (QOE) can be implemented using a single ion and an always-on thermal environment. The internal degree of freedom of the ion is chosen as the working ...

In recent years the chemistry of cyclic iodonium salts has experienced ever-growing development. The advantages of using cyclic iodonium salts over acyclic iodonium salts are that the reactions between cyclic iodonium ...

Even though there are quite large studies on wettability of aqueous surfactants and a few studies on effects of nanoparticles on wettability of colloids, to the best of authors’ knowledge, there is no study reported on ...

Nanocrystalline ZSM-5 and Beta zeolites were evaluated as catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of a wide range of five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocyclic compounds. Seven-membered compounds were prepared by the ...

Microcredit is essentially utilised as the source of empowerment among the poor women in both rural and urban areas of the Indian states. Based on a panel of the Indian states for the period 2007 to 2014, our study ...

Philip Roth’s 1997 novel American Pastoral presents a nuanced critique of the prevalent totalizing worldview that sees history as the progressive manifestation of transcendent ideals. In the novel, thus, we notice the ...

To mimic the collective motion of interacting molecular motors, we propose and discuss an open two-lane symmetrically coupled interactive TASEP model that incorporates interaction in the thermodynamically consistent fashion. ...

CO2 was activated and used as a reactant for the preparation of cyclic carbonates and quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione using functionalized basic nanocrystalline zeolite Nano-ZSM-5 as catalysts. Nano-ZSM-5 was treated ...

Closeness centrality is one way of measuring how central a node is in the given network. The closeness centrality measure assigns a centrality value to each node based on its accessibility to the whole network. In real ...

—Data about terrorist networks is sparse and not consistently tagged as desired for research. Moreover, such data collections are hard to come across, which makes it challenging to propose solutions for the dynamic ...
