Clausius relation for active particles: what can we learn from fluctuations?

open access: yes, 2017
Many kinds of active particles, such as bacteria or active colloids, move in a thermostatted fluid by means of self-propulsion. Energy injected by such a non-equilibrium force is eventually dissipated as heat in the thermostat. Since thermal fluctuations

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of circulation regimes in optically-thin, dry atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An extensive analysis of an optically-thin, dry atmosphere at different values of the thermal Rossby number Ro and of the Taylor number Ff is per- formed with a general circulation model by varying the rotation rate {\Omega} and the surface drag {\tau ...

Increasing levels of rapeseed expeller meal in diets for pigs: effects on protein and energy metabolism

open access: yesAnimal, 2019
The heavy reliance on imported soybean meal (SBM) as a protein source makes it necessary for the European pig industry to search for alternatives and to develop pigs that perform efficiently when fed such ingredients.

Energy Expenditure and Maintenance Requirements in Non-Pregnant First-Parity Sows

open access: yesAnimals
Five sows, non-pregnant after the first parity (body weight: 174 ± 11 kg), were used to determine energy expenditure (EE) measured as heat production (HP).

Ranking the geothermal potential of radiothermal granites in Scotland: are any others as hot as the Cairngorms? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Prior investigations concur that the granite plutons in Scotland which are most likely to prove favourable for geothermal exploration are the Ballater, Bennachie, Cairngorm and Mount Battock plutons, all of which have heat production values greater than ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Heat Production from Single Fracture Hot Dry Rock, Applications for EGS Reservoir Design

open access: yesGeotechnics, 2022
A new analytical solution for the thermal-hydraulic coupling process is derived with a 1-D steady state conductive heat flow in the body of hot rock with perpendicular water flow in the single fracture and transient heat transfer from rock to water.

Noninvasive Measurement of Dissipation in Colloidal Systems

open access: yes, 2012
According to Harada and Sasa [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)], heat production generated in a non-equilibrium steady state can be inferred from measuring response and correlation functions.
