Entropy and biological systems: experimentally-investigated entropy-driven stacking of plant photosynthetic membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
According to the Second Law of thermodynamics, an overall increase of entropy contributes to the driving force for any physicochemical process, but entropy has seldom been investigated in biological systems.

Investigation on Flow Characteristics of Swept Shock/Turbulent Boundary Layer Interaction Considering Entropy Layer Effect

open access: yes气体物理, 2023
In order to explore the effect of entropy layer on swept shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction, numerical simulation was applied to study a fin/blunt plate physical model.

Field Theory Entropy, the $H$-theorem and the Renormalization Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We consider entropy and relative entropy in Field theory and establish relevant monotonicity properties with respect to the couplings. The relative entropy in a field theory with a hierarchy of renormalization group fixed points ranks the fixed points ...

Increasing entropy reduces perceived numerosity throughout the lifespan

open access: yesCognition, 2021
Illusions that arise from systematic bias in perceiving numerosity serve as a powerful window into the mechanisms supporting our visual number sense. Recent research has shown that similarly oriented elements appear more numerous than randomly oriented elements in an array.

The approach towards equilibrium in a reversible Ising dynamics model -- an information-theoretic analysis based on an exact solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study the approach towards equilibrium in a dynamic Ising model, the Q2R cellular automaton, with microscopic reversibility and conserved energy for an infinite one-dimensional system.

Postural threat increases sample entropy of postural control

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionPostural threat elicits modifications to standing balance. However, the underlying neural mechanism(s) responsible remain unclear. Shifts in attention focus including directing more attention to balance when threatened may contribute to the balance changes.

Entropy generation from convective–radiative moving exponential porous fins with variable thermal conductivity and internal heat generations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The performance and thermal properties of convective–radiative rectangular and moving exponential porous fins with variable thermal conductivity together with internal heat generation are investigated.

Flavour Composition and Entropy Increase of Cosmological Neutrinos After Decoherence

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
We propose that gravitational interactions of cosmic neutrinos with the statistically homogeneous and isotropic fluctuations of space-time lead to decoherence.

Study on Microstructure and Properties of CrFeCoNiTix High-Entropy Alloy

open access: yesJournal of Harbin University of Science and Technology, 2020
In order to study the variation of Ti content on the microstructure and properties of the high entropy entropy alloy was analyzed by XRD,SEM,EDS and metallographic microscope. The micro Vickers hardness of the high - entropy alloy was tested with Vickers
