Statistical properties of entropy production derived from fluctuation theorems

open access: yes, 2010
Several implications of well-known fluctuation theorems, on the statistical properties of the entropy production, are studied using various approaches. We begin by deriving a tight lower bound on the variance of the entropy production for a given mean of

Matrix Product States, Random Matrix Theory and the Principle of Maximum Entropy [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 2013
Using random matrix techniques and the theory of Matrix Product States we show that reduced density matrices of quantum spin chains have generically maximum entropy.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

An Analysis of the Characteristics of Internal Flow Losses of Seawater Circulation Pumps in Nuclear Power Plants Based on the Entropy Production Theory

open access: yesEnergies
The seawater circulation pump represents the pump product with the largest flow rate within nuclear power plants. Its energy consumption accounts for a substantial portion of the energy consumed by nuclear power plants.

Gravitational induced particle production through a nonminimal curvature-matter coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the possibility of a gravitationally induced particle production through the mechanism of a nonminimal curvature-matter coupling. An interesting feature of this gravitational theory is that the divergence of the energy-momentum tensor is ...

Griffith theory of physical fractures, statistical procedures and entropy production: Rosetta stone’s legacy

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
A physical model, based on energy balances, is proposed to describe the fractures in solid structures such as stelae, tiles, glass, and others. We applied the model to investigate the transition of the Rosetta Stone from the original state to the final state with three major fractures. We consider a statistical corner-breaking model with cutting rules.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Entropy current for the relativistic Kadanoff-Baym equation and H-theorem in $O(N)$ theory with NLO self-energy of $1/N$ expansion

open access: yes, 2010
We derive an expression of the kinetic entropy current in the nonequilibrium $O(N)$ scalar theory from the Schwinger-Dyson (Kadanoff-Baym) equation with the 1st order gradient expansion.

Conditional Entropy Production and Quantum Fluctuation Theorem of Dissipative Information: Theory and Experiments

open access: yesPRX Quantum, 2022
We study quantum conditional entropy production, which quantifies the irreversibility of system-environment evolution from the perspective of a third system, called the reference. The reference is initially correlated with the system. We show that the quantum unconditional entropy production with respect to the system is less than the conditional ...

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.
