Symmetry And The Order Of Events In Time. The Asymmetrical Order Of Events In Time In A Reversible Energy Converter, Ben-Zion Ginzburg, Randy Wayne
Symmetry And The Order Of Events In Time. The Asymmetrical Order Of Events In Time In A Reversible Energy Converter, Ben-Zion Ginzburg, Randy Wayne
Turkish Journal of Physics
The positive increase of entropy that occurs in irreversible processes has always served as a criterion for distinguishing the past from the future. The unerring ability of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to predict the order of events in time based on a change of entropy in macroscopic systems has led to the concept of the thermodynamical arrow of time. In this paper we analyze a cyclical reversible energy converter, in which thermal energy is converted into useful work without any net change of entropy. While it is usually assumed that time is an outsider in the equations of reversible …

Exactly Solvable Potentials From Decemvirate Power Potential, Nilamoni Saikia
Turkish Journal of Physics
A transformation method is presented which consist of a coordinate transformation and a functional transformation that allow generation of exact analytic bound state solutions of the Schrodinger Green's function equation. The method proposed here, which involves the generation of an exact analytic solution from solvable decemvirate power potential within the framework of Green's functions technique, makes it possible to generate a number of solved quantum systems for original quantum systems with multi-term potentials. The generated quantum systems are in general energy dependent with a single normalized eigenstate. A method has been devised to convert a subset of the generated quantum …

Diet Composition Of Myotis Myotis (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) In Western Poland: Results Of Fecal Analyses, Agnieszka Graclik, Oskar Wasielewski
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The diet of greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis) was investigated by analysis of 900 droppings taken from 8 different bat colonies in western Poland. Three taxonomic orders (Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Diptera) and representatives of 2 other groups of arthropods (Chilopoda: Lithobiidae and Arachnida: Araneae) were identified in the droppings. Coleoptera was the most abundant prey found in fecal samples in all seasons. Study sites differed significantly in the composition of prey, which probably reflects the local foraging conditions for M. myotis.

Skull Features Of The Common Vole (Microtus Arvalis Sensu Lato) From Hungary: Craniometrical Evidence For Its Taxonomic Detachment, Georgi Markov, Gabor Csorba, Maria Kocheva, Milena Gospodinova
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A revision was carried out on 245 adult skull specimens of the common vole (Microtus arvalis sensu lato) kept in the mammal collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest. A highly effective craniometric classification function was used to reveal whether they belonged to the common vole (M. arvalis Pallas, 1778 sensu stricto) or to the East European vole (Microtus levis Miller, 1908). It was found that M. levis specimens were present in the Hungarian mammal fauna; the boundaries of that animal's European range were thus expanded in the west. The distribution of the East European vole and the …
