Infernal Variables and Dissipative Structures
Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 1990 The formalism of internal state variables is established when gradients of these variables are involved, thus allowing for a spatial localization of dissipative effects that give rise to dissipative structures. Therefore, evolution-diffusion equations, rather than usual evolution equations, are obtained.

Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.More than 10 000 metal‐coated silicon MEMS cantilevers are fabricated and characterized to build a large‐scale experimental dataset spanning multiple vibrational modes. Machine learning algorithms are benchmarked to predict resonance frequency and quality factor, with ensemble based models achieving accuracy approaching experimental uncertainty.

ENTROPY AND NEGENTROPY SIGNS IN LANGUAGE SYSTEM
Sovremennye Issledovaniâ Socialʹnyh Problem, 2013 The article is devoted to research of entropy in language. Complexity of the description of entropy is connected with that it is not a material factor of development of language, because language is not real, but the imaginable category, existing only in

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Senseless Distributions: Posthumanist Antidotes to the Mass Hermit
Relations, 2016 This essay aims at showing how the “mass hermit”, as defined by Günther Anders, is the logical point of arrival of that philosophical process which has interpreted human subjectivity as a closed system, intended as the sum of two mechanically overlapped ...
