A model of entropy production [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA 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]
Entropy, 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

Entropy Production in Stochastics [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 While the modern definition of entropy is genuinely probabilistic, in entropy production the classical thermodynamic definition, as in heat transfer, is typically used.

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

Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance
Physical Review Research, 2021 We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the action measured by the path length of the L^{2}-Wasserstein distance ...

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

Physical Review X, 2017 We study the statistics of infima, stopping times, and passage probabilities of entropy production in nonequilibrium steady states, and we show that they are universal. We consider two examples of stopping times: first-passage times of entropy production
