We study systems with finite number of states $A_i$ ($i=1,..., n$), which obey the first order kinetics (master equation) without detailed balance. For any nonzero complex eigenvalue $lambda$ we prove the inequality $frac{|Im lambda |}{|Re lambda |} leq cotfrac{pi}{n}$. This bound is sharp and it becomes an equality for an eigenvalue of a simple irreversible cycle $A_1 to A_2 to... to A_n to A_1$ with equal rate constants of all transitions. Therefore, the simple cycle with the equal rate constants has the slowest decay of the oscillations among all first order kinetic systems with the same number of states.

We introduce a definition of gamma-ray burst (GRB) duty cycle that describes the GRBs efficiency as an emitter; it is the GRBs average flux relative to the peak flux. This GRB duty cycle is easily described in terms of measured BATSE parameters; it is essentially fluence divided by the quantity peak flux times duration. Since fluence and duration are two of the three defining characteristics of the GRB classes identified by statistical clustering techniques (the other is spectral hardness), duty cycle is a potentially valuable probe for studying properties of these classes.
The fundamental issue in the energetic performance of power plants, working both as traditional fuel engines and as combined cycle turbine (gas-steam), lies in quantifying the internal irreversibilities which are associated with the working substance operating in cycles. The purpose of several irreversible energy converter models is to find objective thermodynamic functions that determine operation modes for real thermal engines and at the same time study the trade off between energy losses per cycle and the useful energy. As those objective functions, we focus our attention on a generalization of the so-called ecological function in terms of an $epsilon$--parameter that depends on the particular heat transfer law used in the irreversible heat engine model. In this work, we mathematically describe the configuration space of an irreversible Curzon-Ahlborn type model. The above allows to determine the optimal relations between the model parameters so that a power plant operates in physically accessible regions, taking into account internal irreversibilities, introduced in two different ways (additively and multiplicatively). In addition, we establish the conditions that the $epsilon$--parameter must fulfill for the energy converter works in an optimal region between maximum power output and maximum efficiency points.
Surface analyses inside the nanopore, micropore, and a very narrow pipe are important topics for development of the chemical engineering. Here, we propose a measuring method which evaluates the surface coverage of the chemically modified pore surface and the corrosion rate of the inner surface of the narrow pipe, etc. The method uses Kelvins equation that expresses saturated vapor pressure of a liquid in the pore (pipe). The surface coverage and the corrosion rate are calculated by measuring saturated vapor pressure of the liquid in the pore and the pipe, respectively. In this letter, we explain the concept of the method briefly.
We consider Sobolev mappings $fin W^{1,q}(Omega,IC)$, $1<q<infty$, between planar domains $Omegasubset IC$. We analyse the Radon-Riesz property for convex functionals of the form [fmapsto int_Omega Phi(|Df(z)|,J(z,f)) ; dz ] and show that under certain criteria, which hold in important cases, weak convergence in $W_{loc}^{1,q}(Omega)$ of (for instance) a minimising sequence can be improved to strong convergence. This finds important applications in the minimisation problems for mappings of finite distortion and the $L^p$ and $Exp$,-Teichmuller theories.
A nonlinear interferometry scheme is described theoretically to induce and resolve electron wave- function beating on time scales shorter than the optical cycle of the time-delayed pump and probe pulses. By employing two moderately intense few-cycle laser fields with a stable carrier-envelope phase, a large range of the entire electronic level structure of a quantum system can be retrieved. In contrast to single-photon excitation schemes, the retrieved electronic states include levels that are both dipole- and non-dipole-accessible from the ground electronic state. The results show that strong-field interferometry can reveal both high-resolution and broad-band spectral information at the same time with important consequences for quantum-beat spectroscopy on attosecond or even shorter time scales.
