Entropy Production in Stochastics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
While the modern definition of entropy is genuinely probabilistic, in entropy production the classical thermodynamic definition, as in heat transfer, is typically used.

A model of entropy production [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
A key tenet of the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea that photon absorption localizes the absorbing material system. In doing so, it measures the location of the absorber and hence reduces information entropy which in turn ...

Entropy Production of Stars [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
The entropy production (inside the volume bounded by a photosphere) of main-sequence stars, subgiants, giants, and supergiants is calculated based on B–V photometry data. A non-linear inverse relationship of thermodynamic fluxes and forces as well as an

Continuous Monitoring of Entropy Production and Entropy Flow in Humans Exercising under Heat Stress [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Complex living systems, such as the human organism, are characterized by their self-organized and dissipative behaviors, where irreversible processes continuously produce entropy internally and export it to the environment; however, a means by which to ...

Foraging Dynamics and Entropy Production in a Simulated Proto-Cell [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
All organisms depend on a supply of energetic resources to power behavior and the irreversible entropy-producing processes that sustain them. Dissipative structure theory has often been a source of inspiration for better understanding the thermodynamics ...

Entropy and Entropy Production: Old Misconceptions and New Breakthroughs [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Persistent misconceptions existing for dozens of years and influencing progress in various fields of science are sometimes encountered in the scientific and especially, the popular-science literature.

Beyond the Second Law: Darwinian Evolution as a Tendency for Entropy Production to Increase [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
There is much confusion about the apparent opposition between Darwinian evolution and the second law of thermodynamics. Both entropy and entropy production play more fundamental roles in the origin of life and Darwinian evolution than is generally ...

External Entropy Production and Human Evolution Toward Multi-Body Life [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Ancient human beings started “external entropy production” in a late stage of evolution, in addition to the internal entropy production by which energy was dissipated within the body of life, as previously described consistently with the birth of life by

Entropy production of resetting processes

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
Stochastic systems that undergo random restarts to their initial state have been widely investigated in recent years, both theoretically and in experiments.

Entropy Production of Run-and-Tumble Particles [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
We analyze the entropy production in run-and-tumble models. After presenting the general formalism in the framework of the Fokker–Planck equations in one space dimension, we derive some known exact results in simple physical situations (free run-and ...
