In this article, we briefly review the dynamical and thermodynamical aspects of different forms of quantum motors and quantum pumps. We then extend previous results to provide new theoretical tools for a systematic study of those phenomena at far-from-equilibrium conditions. We mainly focus on two key topics: (1) The steady-state regime of quantum motors and pumps, paying particular attention to the role of higher order terms in the nonadiabatic expansion of the current-induced forces. (2) The thermodynamical properties of such systems, emphasizing systematic ways of studying the relationship between different energy fluxes (charge and heat currents and mechanical power) passing through the system when beyond-first-order expansions are required. We derive a general order-by-order scheme based on energy conservation to rationalize how every order of the expansion of one form of energy flux is connected with the others. We use this approach to give a physical interpretation of the leading terms of the expansion. Finally, we illustrate the above-discussed topics in a double quantum dot within the Coulomb-blockade regime and capacitively coupled to a mechanical rotor. We find many exciting features of this system for arbitrary nonequilibrium conditions: a definite parity of the expansion coefficients with respect to the voltage or temperature biases; negative friction coefficients; and the fact that, under fixed parameters, the device can exhibit multiple steady states where it may operate as a quantum motor or as a quantum pump, depending on the initial conditions.

The first 60 seconds of the magnetisation decay M(t) of a multifilamentary BSCCO/Ag tape has been studied by a vibrating sample magnetometer. Measurements were performed at different temperatures T [4.2 K ÷ 45 K] and DC magnetic fields up to 11 T. The behaviour in the first seconds after the external field is stopped are often neglected due to the presence of far from equilibrium magnetic states, which are function of the initial conditions or of the sample characteristics. We have observed a fast decay in the first 10 seconds, which has been analysed at different temperatures and several external fields. Finally a possible mechanism, responsible of the observed behaviour is discussed.

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a highly occupied gluonic matter is created shortly after initial impact, which is in a nonthermal state and often referred to as the Glasma. Successful phenomenology suggests that the glasma evolves rather quickly toward the thermal quark–gluon plasma (QGP) and a hydrodynamic behavior emerges at a very early time ~ô(1) fm/c. Exactly how such "apparent thermalization" occurs and connects the initial conditions to the hydrodynamic onset, remains a significant challenge for theory as well as phenomenology. We briefly review various ideas and recent progress in understanding the approach of the glasma to the thermalized QGP, with an emphasis on the kinetic theory description for the evolution of such far-from-equilibrium and highly overpopulated, thus weakly-coupled yet strongly interacting glasma.

Abstract Taking Nabokov’s Pale Fire as its tutor text, this chapter seeks to demonstrate that narrative functions as a complex or dynamic system. Due to the novel’s nonlinear and multiply configured format, a series of dissipative structures is provoked whereby states near equilibrium, on reaching states far from equilibrium under the weight of multiple causality, putting the system “beyond the threshold of stability” and “at the edge of chaos,” perpetually self-organize. Taking a cue from nonequilibrium thermodynamics, instabilities, it is argued, are inherent to narrative discourse. This calls into question the pertinence of the logic of linearity (“event A causes event B”) as well as the scope of such postulates as the isomorphic relation between sequence and narrative as a whole, a postulate that frames narrative as a closed system following the principle of conservation of energy in classical mechanics. As the poem “Pale Fire” in Nabokov’s novel advances linearly, it is constantly disrupted by the “Commentary” which is related to the poem only tangentially, each text fragmenting the other and self-organizing into new meanings. The effect is to render salient in narrative discourse the complexity science principles (in addition to those mentioned above) of irreversibility (the “arrow of time”) vs. reversibility, sensitivity to initial conditions, negative vs. positive feedback and the symmetry-breaking effects of bifurcation. The manifestation of these principles in Nabokov’s novel raises fundamental questions about the structuring of narrative, but also about the conceptual framework through which narrative at large might be approached.

Barisan Fibonacci dan Lucas telah digeneralisasi dalam banyak cara, beberapa dengan mempertahankan kondisi awal, dan lainnya dengan mempertahankan relasi rekurensi. Makalah ini menyajikan sebuah generalisasi baru barisan Fibonacci-Lucas yang didefinisikan oleh relasi rekurensi B_n=B_(n-1)+B_(n-2),n≥2 , B_0=2b,B_1=s dengan b dan s bilangan bulat  tak negatif. Selanjutnya, beberapa identitas dihasilkan dan diturunkan menggunakan formula Binet dan metode sederhana lainnya. Juga dibahas beberapa identitas dalam bentuk determinan.   The Fibonacci and Lucas sequence has been generalized in many ways, some by preserving the initial conditions, and others by preserving the recurrence relation. In this paper, a new generalization of Fibonacci-Lucas sequence is introduced and defined by the recurrence relation B_n=B_(n-1)+B_(n-2),n≥2, with ,  B_0=2b,B_1=s                          where b and s are non negative integers. Further, some identities are generated and derived by Binet’s formula and other simple methods. Also some determinant identities are discussed.

This research is a classroom action research that aims to improve the ability of teachers to apply the problem centered learning model of learning in the Elementary School 187/ X Bangun Karya, Academic Year 2019/2020. The subject of this study was a teacher at 187 / X Bangun Karya Elementary School, Rantau Rasau District, Tanjung Jabung Timur District, Jambi Province. This class action research was carried out in two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. The results of the evaluation are converted into a recapitulation table of the results of cycle I. The conversion results state that the research has not yet reached the target, it needs to be continued with cycle II. The results of observers in the implementation phase of the second cycle showed that all parts of the learning activities were going well, so that there were no more parts of the learning activities that needed to be improved. While the results of the second cycle are converted with the results of the recapitulation table states that the study has reached the target limit of completeness criteria in the first cycle that is equal to 50% and an average of 68.7 in the initial conditions of improvement in the second cycle completeness criteria to be 100% and the average namely 91.7 states that the Focus Group Discission can improve the ability of teachers to apply the Problem Centered Learning learning model in learning in 187 / X Public Elementary School Build Work Year 2019/2020.

The work is devoted to modeling the growth of optically dense microalgae cultures in natural light. The basic model is based on the idea of the two-stage photoautotrophic growth of microalgae. It is shown that the increase in the intensity of sunlight in the first half of the day can be described by a linear equation. Analytical equations for the growth of biomass of microalgae and its macromolecular components are obtained. As the initial conditions, it is assumed that at the time of sunrise, the concentration of reserve biomass compounds is zero. The simulation results show that after sunrise, the growth of the microalgae culture is due only to an increase in the reserve part of the biomass, while the structural part practically does not change over six hours. Changes in the ratio of the reserve and structural parts of the biomass indicate a change in the biochemical composition of cells.
