A basis of resolutive sets for the heat equation: an elementary construction
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
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
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
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

Action and Entropy in Heat Engines: An Action Revision of the Carnot Cycle
Despite the remarkable success of Carnot’s heat engine cycle in founding the discipline of thermodynamics two centuries ago, false viewpoints of his use of the caloric theory in the cycle linger, limiting his legacy.

Origin of the Large Entropy Change in the Molecular Caloric and Ferroelectric Ammonium Sulfate [PDF]
The deceptively simple inorganic salt ammonium sulfate undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition associated with a very large entropy change and both electrocaloric and barocaloric functionality.

Brain Mass (Energy) Resistant to Hyperglycaemic Oversupply: A Systematic Review
Cerebral energy supply is determined by the energy content of the blood. Accordingly, the brain is undersupplied during hypoglycaemia. Whether or not there is an additional cerebral energy demand that depends upon the energy content of the brain is ...

Sadi Carnot’s Réflexions and the foundation of thermodynamics
The purpose of this article is to present a short review of Sadi Carnot work on heat engines and on the role his adherence to the caloric theory may have had.
