The Irreversibility Premium [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 Abstract When investment is irreversible, theory suggests that firms will be “reluctant to invest.” This reluctance creates a wedge between the discount rate guiding investment decisions and the standard Jorgensonian user cost (adjusted for risk). We use the intertemporal tradeoff between benefits and costs of changing the capital stock to estimate ...

Irreversible Curarization [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1977 The reversal effect of neostigmine following different doses of tubocurarine was investigated in 20 anesthetized adults. After five minutes, neostigmine could rapidly and effectively reverse a blocking dose of tubocurarine. Doubling the dose of tubocurarine necessitated a much higher concentration of neostigmine to achieve reversal ...

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

New 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.

The five problems of irreversibility [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2021 Thermodynamics has a clear arrow of time, characterized by the irreversible approach to equilibrium. This stands in contrast to the laws of microscopic theories, which are invariant under time-reversal. Foundational discussions of this "problem of irreversibility" often focus on historical considerations, and do therefore not take results of modern ...

Dissipation and irreversibility in computing
Materials 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.

Discrete 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.

The Value of Fighting Irreversible Demise by Softening the Irreversible Cost [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005 We study a novel issue in the real-options-based technology innovation literature by means of double barrier contingent claims analysis. We show how much a firm with the monopoly over a project is willing to spend in investment technology innovation that softens the irreversible cost of accessing the project before its irreversible demise.
