With direct-acting antivirals dramatically reshaping the public health response to the hepatitis C virus(HCV), prisons are set to play a critical role in elimination efforts. Despite the theoretical demonstration of HCV treatment-as-prevention in prison in mathematical modeling, limited empirical data exist. The Australian ‘Surveillance and…[Read more]

Heat engines performing finite time Carnot cycles are described by positive irreversible entropy functions added to the ideal reversible entropy part. The model applies for macroscopic and microscopic (quantum mechanical) engines. The mathematical and physical conditions for the solution of the power maximization problem are discussed. For entropy…[Read more]
