Its brutal, cold, and isolated, and theres little he needs to do but wait for the day when he has the courage to end his life, as he plans to, some day, at a time to be determined. But the plane that ferries him and the other camp workers between the Slope and civilization crashes in the tundra, leaving Ottway alone with a handful of terrified survivors to face a punishing landscape, wolves who see them as an invading pack, and, ultimately, the prospect of a death he didnt choose in its most insistent, inexorable form. As he battles to save the lives of those with him, he looks into the darkness of an unforgiving nature and must weigh the abysses in himself and the wrongs he carries against what he leaves behind, and choose whether his own life is worth saving, or not.What critics say about the movie:Prepare to be devastated the equivalent of a wet finger in a hot socket nerve-frying suspense one of the most captivating studies of shared peril explores the dark shadows of the male psycheRex Reed, New York Observer"a stripped-down, elemental tale of survival in brutal circumstances, as blunt and effective and also, at times, as lyrical as a tale by Jack London or Ernest Hemingway" AO Scott, The New York TimesWilderness survivalGenerated by AIAirplane crash survivalGenerated by AIWilderness survivalAirplane crash survivalJeffers Ian Mackenzie1747647BOOK9910150523203321Grey4179826UNINA03615nam 22005175 450 991030053180332120200705032631.03-319-93964-510.1007/978-3-319-93964-3(CKB)3850000000036145(MiAaPQ)EBC5448097(DE-He213)978-3-319-93964-3(PPN)229503527(EXLCZ)99385000000003614520180704d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThermodynamics and Synchronization in Open Quantum Systems /by Gonzalo Manzano Paule1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (424 pages)Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-50533-319-93963-7 Part 1: Introduction to Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Thermodynamics -- Basic Concepts -- Open Quantum System Dynamics -- Quantum Thermodynamics -- Part 2: Quantum Synchronization Induced by Dissipation in Many-Body Systems -- Transient Synchronization and Quantum Correlations -- Noiseless Subsystems and Synchronization -- Dissipative Complex Quantum Networks -- Part 3: Quantum Fluctuation Theorems and Entropy Production -- Fluctuation Theorems for Quantum Maps -- Entropy Production Fluctuations in Quantum Process -- Simple Applications of the Entropy Production FT’s -- Part 4: Quantum Thermal Machines -- Thermodynamic Power of the Squeezed Thermal Reservoir.-Performance of Autonomous Quantum Thermal Machines -- Part 5: Conclusions -- Summary and Outlook.This book explores some of the connections between dissipative and quantum effects from a theoretical point of view. It focuses on three main topics: the relation between synchronization and quantum correlations, the thermodynamical properties of fluctuations, and the performance of quantum thermal machines. Dissipation effects have a profound impact on the behavior and properties of quantum systems, and the unavoidable interaction with the surrounding environment, with which systems continuously exchange information, energy, angular momentum and matter, is ultimately responsible for decoherence phenomena and the emergence of classical behavior. However, there is a wide intermediate regime in which the interplay between dissipative and quantum effects gives rise to a plethora of rich and striking phenomena that has just started to be understood. In addition, the recent breakthrough techniques in controlling and manipulating quantum systems in the laboratory have made this phenomenology accessible in experiments and potentially applicable.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053ThermodynamicsQuantum theoryThermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Thermodynamics.Quantum theory.Thermodynamics.Quantum Physics.530.12011Manzano Paule Gonzaloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835587MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300531803321Thermodynamics and Synchronization in Open Quantum Systems1867709UNINA
