Dissipative Structure Analysis and Ecological Disorganization: A Critique Drawn from Ecological Marxist and Treadmill-of-Production Approaches

open access: yesWorld
Among environmental sociologists, ecological Marxists argue that there is an association between capitalism and ecological destruction/disorganization. This argument suggests that capitalism and nature are in contradiction with one another, so that the ...

Thermodynamic Pathways of Nonequilibrium Solidification in Wire‐Arc Additive Manufacturing Fe‐Based Multicomponent Alloy Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...

Analytic mode matching for a circular dissipative silencer containing mean flow and a perforated pipe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
An analytic mode matching scheme that includes higher order modes is developed for a straight-through circular dissipative silencer. Uniform mean flow is added to the central airway and a concentric perforated screen separates the mean flow from a bulk ...

Dissipative Structures in Supersonic Turbulence

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2009
We show that density-weighted moments of the dissipation rate, $ε_l$, averaged over a scale $l$, in supersonic turbulence can be successfully explained by the She and Lévêque model [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 72}, 336 (1994)]. A general method is developed to measure the two parameters of the model, $γ$ and $d$, based directly on their physical ...

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Model reduction of dissipative systems by balanced truncation

open access: yes, 2008
Given a dissipative system behavior with general supply rate, say a ?Sigma-dissipative system, we propose a balanced truncation method to obtain a reduced-order system behavior which is again ?Sigma-dissipative.

Self Organization Analysis of Soil Erosion

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2007
The dissipative structure about soil erosion was analyzed by using the theory of dissipative structure,and a model about soil erosion organization’s form was established.The authors analyzed three soil and water conservation measures: biological measures,

Self-Organization at Aqueous Colloid-Membrane Interfaces and an Optical Method to Measure the Kinetics of Exclusion Zone Formation

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Exclusion zone (EZ) formation at water-membrane interfaces was studied via bright- and dark-field microscopy. Various aqueous colloids including suspensions of charged microspheres, silicon dioxide particles, and raw whole milk were studied with Nafion ...

Comprehensive evaluation and stability analysis of ecosystem quality of Yellow River Basin during 1980–2019

open access: yesRiver, 2023
Quality and stability are the basic characteristics of ecosystems, reflecting their structure, process, functional integrity, ability to resist disturbance, self‐regulation, and dynamic balance.

A Drive towards Thermodynamic Efficiency for Dissipative Structures in Chemical Reaction Networks

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Dissipative accounts of structure formation show that the self-organisation of complex structures is thermodynamically favoured, whenever these structures dissipate free energy that could not be accessed otherwise.
