TRAVELS IN IMAGINARY LANDSCAPES : AN ANALYSIS OF FOUR CULTURAL HISTORIC GUIDEBOOKS


Landau theory for finite-time dynamical phase transitions

We study the time evolution of thermodynamic observables that characterise the dissipative nature of thermal relaxation after an instantaneous temperature quench.Combining tools from stochastic thermodynamics and large-deviation Strainers theory, we develop a powerful theory for computing the large-deviation statistics of such observables.Our metho

Description of the larva of Alampoides alychnus (Kirsch, 1873), the first known species with bioluminescent immatures in Euplinthini (Elateridae, Agrypninae)

Mature larva of Alampoides alychnus (Kirsch) is described and compared to known Pyrophorini immatures.Larvae were collected live in the soil of a region dominated by sugarcane plantation and gallery forest in Campo Novo dos Parecis, Mato Grosso, Brazil.They Daybed with Trundle were maintained in laboratory and the pupal period lasted 14 days.This l
