Entropy Production in Relativistic Binary Mixtures
In this paper we calculate the entropy production of a relativistic binary
mixture of inert dilute gases using kinetic theory. For this purpose we use the
covariant form of Boltzmann's equation which, when suitably transformed, yields
a formal expression for such quantity. Its physical meaning is extracted when
the distribution function is expanded in the gradients using the well-known
Chapman-Enskog method. Retaining the terms to first order, consistently with
Linear Irreversible Thermodynamics we show that indeed, the entropy production
can be expressed as a bilinear form of products between the fluxes and their
corresponding forces. The implications of this result are thoroughly discussed
Indigenous Institutional Inclusion
While attending James Cook University (JCU) in Cairns, Australia and researching Arizona University (UA) in Tucson, Arizona, I noticed differences concerning the inclusion of Indigenous representation within their educational institutions.While UA focuses on academic education and community outreach through external concentration, JCU focuses on positive cultural awareness and acts of reconciliation through internal concentration. The influence of colonization in both the United States and Australia contributed to the presence, or lack, of tribal sovereignty in Indigenous communities therefore effecting federal recognition, reconciliation, and government funding which ultimately impacted the school systems
SU(6)SU(3)xSU(2) and SU(8)SU(4)xSU(2) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
Tables of scalar factors are presented for 63x63 and 120x63 in
SU(8)SU(4)xSU(2), and for 35x35 and 56x35 in
SU(6)SU(3)xSU(2). Related tables for SU(4)SU(3)xU(1) and
SU(3)SU(2)xU(1) are also provided so that the Clebsch-Gordan
coefficients can be completely reconstructed. These are suitable to study
meson-meson and baryon-meson within a spin-flavor symmetric scheme.Comment: 30 pages, mostly table
