The Second Law Today: Using Maximum-Minimum Entropy Generation
Entropy, 2015 There are a great number of thermodynamic schools, independent of each other, and without a powerful general approach, but with a split on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In 1912, in relation to the stationary non-equilibrium states, Ehrenfest introduced

Kinetics and thermodynamics of reversible polymerization in closed systems
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Motivated by a recent study on the metabolism of carbohydrates in bacteria, we study the kinetics and thermodynamics of two classic models for reversible polymerization, one preserving the total polymer concentration and the other one not.

Focus on nonequilibrium fluctuation relations: from classical to quantum
New Journal of Physics, 2015 The fluctuation dissipation theorem is at the heart of equilibrium statistical mechanics. For a system away from thermal equilibrium, generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations have been found in recent years.

Collective dynamics from stochastic thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2015 From a viewpoint of stochastic thermodynamics, we derive equations that describe the collective dynamics near the order-disorder transition in the globally coupled XY model and near the synchronization–desynchronization transition in the Kuramoto model ...

Work statistics in stochastically driven systems
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We identify the conditions under which a stochastic driving that induces energy changes into a system coupled with a thermal bath can be treated as a work source.

Relation between topology and heat currents in multilevel absorption machines
New Journal of Physics, 2017 The steady state heat currents of continuous absorption machines can be decomposed into thermodynamically consistent contributions, each of them associated with a circuit in the graph representing the master equation of the thermal device. We employ this

Relations between dissipated work in non-equilibrium process and the family of Rényi divergences
New Journal of Physics, 2017 In this paper, we establish a general relation which directly links the dissipated work done on a system driven arbitrarily far from equilibrium, a fundamental quantity in thermodynamics, and the family of Rényi divergences between two states along the ...

From electrons to cancer : Redox shift as a driving force of tumorigenesis
Advances in Redox ResearchCancer cells are very diverse but mostly share a common metabolic property: they are strongly glycolytic even though oxygen is available. Herein, the metabolic abnormalities of cancer cells are interpreted as modifications of the electric currents in ...

Kinetic Continuous Opinion Dynamics Model on Two Types of Archimedean Lattices
Frontiers in Physics, 2017 Here, the critical properties of kinetic continuous opinion dynamics model are studied on (4, 6, 12) and (4, 82) Archimedean lattices. We obtain pc and the critical exponents from Monte Carlo simulations and finite size scaling.

On the von Neumann entropy of a bath linearly coupled to a driven quantum system
New Journal of Physics, 2015 The change of the von Neumann entropy of a set of harmonic oscillators initially in thermal equilibrium and interacting linearly with an externally driven quantum system is computed by adapting the Feynman–Vernon influence functional formalism.
