Many-body localization and thermalization in the full probability distribution function of observables by Elena Canovi, Davide Rossini, Rosario Fazio, Giuseppe E Santoro, Alessandro Silva

“…We compare the resulting distributions with those obtained in equilibrium at an effective temperature set by the initial energy. We find that, while the long-time distribution functions appear to always agree qualitatively with the equilibrium ones, quantitative agreement is obtained only when integrability is fully broken and the relevant eigenstates are diffusive in quasi-particle space.…”

Certain personal and environmental factors as predictors of thermal sensation perceived by a population of students in a university setting from Timisoara, Romania: a case study by Cristina I. Petrescu

“…The method was an observational inquiry (case study) with a standardized questionnaire (11 items, 3 items for thermal sensation assessing through 3 scales with 3, 5 and 7 steps, alpha Cronbach’s index 0.854) applied and establishing 3 microclimate factors (air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity), with calculation of normal effective temperature. The survey was performed over four successive days, during two seasons (winter—February and spring—May). …”

Dynamical Process of a Bit-Width Reduced Ising Model With Simulated Annealing by Shuta Kikuchi, Nozomu Togawa, Shu Tanaka

“…Analysis from the viewpoint of statistical mechanics found that the BWR Ising model has two characteristic properties: an effective temperature and a slow relaxation. These properties alter the temperature schedule and spin flip probability in the BWR Ising model, leading to differences in the dynamical process. …”
