Irreversible Electroporation [PDF]
Seminars 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]
The 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 ...

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.

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.

Gibbs Entropy and Irreversibility [PDF]
, 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.

Law, 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.

Exploring Applications of Irreversibility
Journal for Peace and Nuclear DisarmamentThis 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 ...

The Gibbs Paradox, the Landauer Principle and the Irreversibility Associated with Tilted Observers
Entropy, 2017 It is well known that, in the context of General Relativity, some spacetimes, when described by a congruence of comoving observers, may consist of a distribution of a perfect (non–dissipative) fluid, whereas the same spacetime as seen by a “tilted ...

Microscopic theory for the time irreversibility and the entropy production
, 2017 In stochastic thermodynamics, the entropy production of a thermodynamic system is defined by the irreversibility measured by the logarithm of the ratio of the path probabilities in the forward and reverse processes.
