The solution to a drinking bird equation of motion manifests itself the transition from thermodynamic equilibrium to nonequilibrium irreversible states. The independent solution signifying a nonequilibrium thermal state seems to be constructed as if two independent bifurcation solutions are synthesized, and so, the solution is tentatively termed as the bifurcation-integration solution. The bifurcation-integration solution expresses the transition from mechanical and thermodynamic equilibrium to a nonequilibrium irreversible state, which is explicitly shown by the nonlinear differential equation with time-dependent coefficients (NDE-TC). The analysis established a new theoretical approach to nonequilibrium irreversible states, thermomechanical dynamics (TMD). The TMD method enables one to obtain thermodynamically consistent and time-dependent progresses of thermodynamic quantities, by employing the bifurcation-integration solutions of NDE-TC. We hope that the basic properties of bifurcation-integration solutions will be studied and investigated further in mathematics, physics, chemistry and nonlinear sciences in general.展开更多

Methods: A keyword search of the clinical notes of patients’ charts in AxiUm<sup>TM</sup> was performed using the search terms “TMD”, “headache”, and “sleep bruxism” to identify these patients. The inclusion criteria were patients with partial of full dentition, aged 18 to 65 years old who attended the UNLV School of Dental Medicine clinics between January 2014 and September 2018. Patients with incomplete records and those who were completely edentulous formed the exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results: The final sample was made up of 529 patients. The highest percentage of study subjects were in the age range of 29 - 34 (17.9%), with a statistically significant correlation to pain on opening (P = 0.0403). Females showed a statistically significant correlation to TMJ clicking (P = 0.0033). Caucasians also had a statistically significant correlation to TMJ clicking (P = 0.0001). In addition, a statistically significant correlation between pain on opening or chewing and headaches was also observed (P = 0.0081). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, Caucasians, and females presented with more TMJ clicking than the other study subjects. Young adults, in particular, experienced more pain on opening or chewing.展开更多

The thermomechanical states of the heat engine are in Nonequilibrium Irreversible States (NISs), and time-dependent thermodynamic work W(t), internal energy E(t), energy dissipation or entropy Q<sub>d</sub>(t), and temperature T(t), are precisely studied and computed in TMD. We also introduced the new formalism, Q(t)-picture of thermodynamic heat-energy flows, for consistent analyses of NISs. Thermal flows in a long-time uniform heat flow and in a short-time heat flow are numerically studied as examples. In addition to the analysis of time-dependent physical quantities, the TMD analysis suggests that the concept of force and acceleration in Newtonian mechanics should be modified. The acceleration is defined as a continuously differentiable function of Class C<sup>2</sup> in Newtonian mechanics, but the thermomechanical dynamics demands piecewise continuity for acceleration and thermal force, required from physical reasons caused by frictional variations and thermal fluctuations. The acceleration has no direct physical meaning associated with force in TMD.
