Probability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum [PDF]
, 2013 I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that

Planck's formula and glassy behavior in classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
, 2000 In statistical mechanics it is well known that one has to take into account the role of the relaxation times to equilibrium. We discuss the relevance of this fact for systems of weakly coupled harmonic oscillators in a classical framework, showing how ...

The classical–statistical limit of quantum mechanics [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2004 The classical-statistical limit of quantum mechanics is studied. It is proved that the limit $\hbar \to 0$ is the good limit for the operators algebra but it si not so for the state compact set. In the last case decoherence must be invoked to obtain the classical-statistical limit.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A current algebra approach to the equilibrium classical statistical mechanics and its applications
Condensed Matter Physics, 2013 The non-relativistic current algebra approach is analyzed subject to its application to studying the distribution functions of many-particle systems at the temperature equilibrium and their stability properties.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Inferential vs. Dynamical Conceptions of Physics [PDF]
, 2013 I contrast two possible attitudes towards a given branch of physics: as inferential (i.e., as concerned with an agent's ability to make predictions given finite information), and as dynamical (i.e., as concerned with the dynamical equations governing ...

Hot and Heavy Matters in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 Are the generalizations of classical equilibrium thermodynamics true of self-gravitating systems? This question has not been addressed from a foundational perspective, but here I tackle it through a study of the "paradoxes" commonly said to afflict such ...

On the foundations of a new approach to statistical mechanics of classical systems
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1980 It has been known for a long time that the fundamental approaches to equilibrium and nonequillbrium statistical mechanics available at present lead to physical and mathematical inconsistencies for dense systems.

Probability, Entropy, and Gibbs’ Paradox(es)
Entropy, 2018 Two distinct puzzles, which are both known as Gibbs’ paradox, have interested physicists since they were first identified in the 1870s. They each have significance for the foundations of statistical mechanics and have led to lively discussions with
