In this work, we address the process of pair creation of scalar particles in [Formula: see text] de Sitter space–time in presence of a constant electromagnetic field by applying the noncommutativity on the scalar field up to first-order in [Formula: see text]. We calculate the density of particles created in the vacuum by the mean of the Bogoliubov transformations. In contrast to a previous result, we show that noncommutativity contributes to the pair creation process. We find that the noncommutativity plays the same role of chemical potential and gives an important interest for studies at high energies.

Heme catabolism is an important physiological process that converts heme to biliverdin in the presence of heme oxygenase which has an essential role in destroying unwanted heme. Verdohemes, the green iron (II) complexes of the 5-oxaporphyrin macrocycle are produced by oxidative destruction of heme. The main goal of this study is clarification of the central metal effect on stabilization of metal 5-oxaporphyrin molecules. To investigate the role of central metal on geometric and electronic properties of five coordinated verdoheme analogues, the first row transitional metals, including Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, as the central metal of five-coordinated metal 5-oxaporphyrins were systematically calculated without any symmetry constraint by using the B3LYP as DFT method and the 6-31G basis set in gas and solvent phases. According to the results, the stabilization energy of metal 5-oxaporphyrins increases with atomic mass in the solvent phase more than in the gas phase. By reviewing the properties such as the computed frontier orbital energy, HOMO and LUMO gap energy [Formula: see text], hardness [Formula: see text], chemical potential [Formula: see text], softness (s) and electrophilicity [Formula: see text], the pharmaceutical use of this compound can be discussed.

We study the consequences of the presence of a negative electric charge condensate of antikaons in neutron stars using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω and ϱ mesons, in the presence of electrons and muons, to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase transition to the antikaon condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the antikaon condensate. Assuming neutrino-free matter, we observe a rapid decrease of the electron chemical potential produced by the gradual substitution of electrons by kaons to accomplish electric charge neutrality. The exotic composition of matter in neutron star including antikaon condensation and nucleons can yield a maximum mass of about M ns ~ 1.76 M ⊙.

AbstractA careful petrologic analysis of mylonites’ mineral assemblages is crucial for a thorough comprehension of the rheologic behaviour of ductile shear zones active during an orogenesis. In this view, understanding the way new minerals form in rocks sheared in a ductile manner and why relict porphyroblasts are preserved in zones where mineral reactions are generally supposed to be deformation-assisted, is essential. To this goal, the role of chemical potential gradients, particularly that of H2O (µH2O), was examined here through phase equilibrium modelling of syn-kinematic mineral assemblages developed in three distinct mylonites from the Calabria polymetamorphic terrane. Results revealed that gradients in chemical potentials have effects on the mineral assemblages of the studied mylonites, and that new syn-kinematic minerals formed in higher-µH2O conditions than the surroundings. In each case study, the banded fabric of the mylonites is related to the fluid availability in the system, with the fluid that was internally generated by the breakdown of OH-bearing minerals. The gradients in µH2O favoured the origin of bands enriched in hydrated minerals alternated with bands where anhydrous minerals were preserved even during exhumation. Thermodynamic modelling highlights that during the prograde stage of metamorphism, high-µH2O was necessary to form new minerals while relict, anhydrous porphyroblasts remained stable in condition of low-µH2O even during exhumation. Hence, the approach used in this contribution is an in-depth investigation of the fluid-present/-deficient conditions that affected mylonites during their activity, and provides a more robust interpretation of their microstructures, finally helping to explain the rheologic behaviour of ductile shear zones.

Based on the Wigner function for an medium with thermal vorticity, an exact non-perturbative formula for axial current was obtained. It is confirmed that the Chiral Vortical Effect results from the Wigner function. It is shown that the angular velocity and acceleration play the role of new chemical potentials, which is expressed in the appearance of combination $$\mu \pm \,(\Omega \pm i\left| a \right|)/2$$. It is shown that acceleration enters in the form of imaginary chemical potential and the consequences of this fact are investigated. An expression for the boundary temperature for a medium of fermions, which simultaneously has acceleration and rotation, is derived. This temperature in the particular case coincides with the temperature of Unruh.

To begin to understand the role of colloidal molecules, a simple question requires an answer: How do the solutes alter water in an aqueous solution? Hulett's answer deserves attention, namely, the water in the solution at temperature and external pressure applied to solution (T,pe1) is altered in the same way that pure water is altered by reducing the pressure applied to it by the osmotic pressure of the water at a free surface of the solution. It is nonsense to relate the lower chemical potential of water in a solution to a lower fugacity or to a lower activity of the water in the solution, since these terms have no physical meaning. It is also incorrect to attribute the lower chemical potential of the water to a lower concentration of water in the solution. Both claims are derived from the teachings of G. N. Lewis and are erroneous. Textbook accounts of the flux of fluid to and from capillaries in the kidney and other tissues are inadequate, if not in error, as they are based on these bogus claims. An understanding of the process by which colloidal proteins in plasma affect the flux of nearly protein-free fluid across the capillary endothelium must start with insights derived from the teachings of G. Hulett and H. Dixon. The main points are 1) colloidal molecules can exert a pressure against a membrane that reflects them and, thereby, displace a distensible membrane; 2) they can alter the internal tension of the fluid through which they diffuse when there is a concentration gradient of the molecules; and 3) only by these means can they influence the flux of plasma fluid across the capillary endothelium. However, the process is complex, since both the hydrostatic pressure and protein concentrations of fluids inside and outside the capillary vary with both position and time as plasma flows through the capillary.
