Boundary Entropy Can Increase Under Bulk RG Flow [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2007 The boundary entropy log(g) of a critical one-dimensional quantum system (or two-dimensional conformal field theory) is known to decrease under renormalization group (RG) flow of the boundary theory.

Axiomatic Foundations for the Principle of Entropy Increase [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2007 We show that the principle of entropy increase may be exactly founded on a few axioms valid not only for quantum and classical statistics, but also for a wide range of statistical processes.Comment: 8 ...

Increasing entropy for colloidal stabilization [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractStability is of paramount importance in colloidal applications. Attraction between colloidal particles is believed to lead to particle aggregation and phase separation; hence, stability improvement can be achieved through either increasing repulsion or reducing attraction by modifying the fluid medium or by using additives.

Meditation Increases the Entropy of Brain Oscillatory Activity [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2020 We address the hypothesis that the entropy of neural dynamics indexes the intensity and quality of conscious content. Previous work established that serotonergic psychedelics can have a dysregulating effect on brain activity, leading to subjective effects that present a considerable overlap with the phenomenology of certain meditative states.

Fourth Order Diffusion Equations with Increasing Entropy [PDF]
Entropy, 2012 The general quasi-linear autonomous fourth order diffusion equation ut = −[G(u)uxxx + h(u, ux, uxx)]x with positive variable diffusivity G(u) and lower-order flux component h is considered on the real line. A direct algorithm produces a general class of equations for which the Shannon entropy density obeys a reaction-diffusion equation with a positive

The Concept of Entropy and Its Application in Thermal Engineering
Energies, 2021 Today, 156 years after the invention of entropy by Clausius, there remains disagreement among the scientific community on what entropy and the phenomenon of entropy increase mean [...]

Trajectory versus probability density entropy [PDF]
, 2000 We study the problem of entropy increase of the Bernoulli-shift map without recourse to the concept of trajectory and we discuss whether, and under which conditions if it does, the distribution density entropy coincides with the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy,

The entropy puzzle and the quark combination model [PDF]
, 2010 We use two available methods, the Duhem-Gibbs relation and the entropy formula in terms of particle phase space distributions, to calculate the entropy in a quark combination model.
