Field induced magnetic transition and metastability in Co substituted $Mn_{2}Sb$ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A detailed investigation of first order ferrimagnetic (FRI) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition in Co (15%) doped $Mn_2Sb$ is carried out. These measurements demonstrate anomalous thermomagnetic irreversibility and glass-like frozen FRI phase at low ...

Distillation of a Complex Mixture. Part II: Performance Analysis of a Distillation Column Using Exergy

open access: yesEntropy, 2007
To analyze the performance of the separation process, we have introduced thethermodynamic concept of exergy through the exergetic efficiency of the column.

Irreversible Electroporation [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Interventional Radiology, 2015
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a predominantly nonthermal ablative technology that uses high-voltage, low-energy DC current pulses to induce cell death. Thermal ablative technologies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation have several applications in oncology but have limitations that have been established. IRE has

Incentivizing Irreversible Investment [PDF]

open access: yesThe Accounting Review, 2021
ABSTRACT Existing dynamic investment models that show that a manager can be incentivized to implement the optimal investment policy rely on the assumption that the firm is operating in an ever-expanding product market. This paper presents an analytically tractable, discrete-time, neoclassical model with irreversible investment and the ...

Quantifying entropy production in active fluctuations of the hair-cell bundle from time irreversibility and uncertainty relations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
We introduce lower bounds for the rate of entropy production of an active stochastic process by quantifying the irreversibility of stochastic traces obtained from mesoscopic degrees of freedom.

Microscopic irreversibility

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2004
First, I will recount the substance of several important conversations I had with Ilya Prigogine over the years. There is no doubt in my mind that Professor Prigogine firmly believed in the underlying stochasticity of the universe.

Dissipation and irreversibility in computing

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2023
There has been much discussion for decades over the proper concepts of minimum dissipation per logic gate and what is required for computation, as well as early arguments over logically reversible machines.

Irreversibility [PDF]

open access: yesLaw, Probability and Risk, 2010
The concept of "irreversibility" plays a large role in many domains, including public health, medical practice, and environmental protection. Indeed, the concept is explicit in some statements of the Precautionary Principle. But the idea of irreversibility remains poorly defined. Because of the flow of time, any loss is, in a sense, irreversible.

Gibbs Entropy and Irreversibility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This contribution is dedicated to dilucidating the role of the Gibbs entropy in the discussion of the emergence of irreversibility in the macroscopic world from the microscopic level.

Exploring Applications of Irreversibility

open access: yesJournal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament
This is the third and final special issue in this series that engages with the concept of nuclear disarmament irreversibility. The first special issue provided a comprehensive overview of irreversibility, establishing a conceptual foundation for this ...
