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 and Entropy Production in Some Applications [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2013 By using entropy and entropy production, we calculate the steady flux of some phenomena. The method we use is a competition method, $S_S/\tau+\sigma={\it maximum}$, where $S_S$ is system entropy, $\sigma$ is entropy production and $\tau$ is microscopic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Optimizing Our Patients’ Entropy Production as Therapy? Hypotheses Originating from the Physics of Physiology [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Understanding how nature drives entropy production offers novel insights regarding patient care. Whilst energy is always preserved and energy gradients irreversibly dissipate (thus producing entropy), increasing evidence suggests that they do so in the ...

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.

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications [PDF]
Entropy, 2011 Fifty years ago, the optimization of thermoelectric devices was analyzed by considering the relation between optimal performances and local entropy production. Entropy is produced by the irreversible processes in thermoelectric devices.

Entropy and Entropy Production in Multiscale Dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2018 Heat conduction is investigated on three levels: equilibrium, Fourier, and Cattaneo. The Fourier level is either the point of departure for investigating the approach to equilibrium or the final stage in the investigation of the approach from the ...
