Dose-Response, 2010 Free living organisms typically occur in harsh environments challenged by abiotic stresses of varying intensities. Taking ionizing radiation and caloric restriction as examples, environmental variation from benign to extreme gives a fitness-stress ...

Carnot and the Archetype of Waterfalls [PDF]
EntropyCarnot treats Heat as a Force of Nature, with its typical fundamental characteristics of intensity and thermal tension (temperature and temperature difference), extension (amount of heat, i.e., caloric), and power.

Carnot Theorem Revisited: A Critical Perspective [PDF]
EntropyAfter a brief review of Carnot’s everlasting contributions to the foundations of thermodynamics, we critically examine the consequences of the Carnot theorem, which leaves behind some lingering questions and confusion that persist even today. What is the

Milankovitch, the father of paleoclimate modeling [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 The history of the long-term variations in the astronomical elements used in paleoclimate research shows that, contrary to what might be thought, Milutin Milankovitch is not the father of the astronomical theory but he is definitely the father of ...

A basis of resolutive sets for the heat equation: an elementary construction
Bruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar, 2023 By an easy “trick” taken from the caloric polynomial theory, we prove the existence of a basis of the Euclidean topology whose elements are resolutive sets of the heat equation.

Brain More Resistant to Energy Restriction Than Body: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The gluco-lipostatic theory and its modern variants assume that blood glucose and energy stores are controlled in closed-loop feedback processes. The Selfish Brain theory is based on the same assumptions, but additionally postulates that the brain, as an

Proximal Disruption of Brain Energy Supply Raises Systemic Blood Glucose: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 This work joins a series that methodically tests the predictions of the Selfish-Brain theory. The theory postulates a vital ability of the mammalian brain, namely to give priority to its own energy metabolism.

Weighing the importance of animal body size in traditional food systems
FACETS, 2022 Traditional food systems based on harvest from the local environment are fundamental to the well-being of many communities, but their security is challenged by rapid socio-ecological change. We synthesized literature and data describing how a fundamental

Spin caloric transport from density-functional theory [PDF]
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2018 Spin caloric transport refers to the coupling of heat with spin transport. Its applications primarily concern the generation of spin currents and control of magnetisation by temperature gradients for information technology, known by the synonym spin caloritronics.
