Entropy Production Rates of the Climate [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2020
AbstractThere is ongoing interest in the global entropy production rate as a climate diagnostic and predictor, but progress has been limited by ambiguities in its definition; different conceptual boundaries of the climate system give rise to different internal production rates.

Saturation of entropy production in quantum many-body systems

open access: yes, 2017
Bridging the second law of thermodynamics and microscopic reversible dynamics has been a longstanding problem in statistical physics. We here address this problem on the basis of quantum many-body physics, and discuss how the entropy production saturates

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Product Entropy of Gaussian Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1969
0. Summary. This paper studies the product epsilon entropy of mean-continous Gaussian processes. That is, a given mean-continuous Gaussian process on the unit interval is expanded into its Karhulnen expansion. Along the kth eigenfunction axis, a partition by intervals of length Ek iS made, and the entropy of the resulting discrete distribution is noted.

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Entropy Production in Gaussian Thermostats [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 2006
We show that an arbitrary Anosov Gaussian thermostat on a surface is dissipative unless the external field has a global potential.

Entropy production by evapotranspiration and its geographic variation

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2008
The hydrologic cycle is a system far from thermodynamic equilibrium that is characterized by its rate of entropy production in the climatological mean steady state.

Estimating time-dependent entropy production from non-equilibrium trajectories

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2022
While methods for estimating the entropy production rate of a stationary process are relatively well established, this is still a challenge in non-stationary conditions.

Entropy production selects nonequilibrium states in multistable systems

open access: yes, 2017
Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production principle could not be unequivocally proven, in part due to complicated ...
