Entropy, 2013 It has been suggested that the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle, or MEP hypothesis, could be an interesting tool to compute climatic variables like temperature.

Maximum Entropy Production Theorem for Transitions between Enzyme Functional States and Its Applications [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 Transitions between enzyme functional states are often connected to conformational changes involving electron or proton transport and directional movements of a group of atoms.

Entropy, 2009 Is Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) a physical principle? In this paper I tentatively suggest it is not, on the basis that MEP is equivalent to Jaynes’ Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) inference algorithm that passively translates physical assumptions into ...

Maximum entropy production: can it be used to constrain conceptual hydrological models? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In recent years, optimality principles have been proposed to constrain hydrological models. The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is one of the proposed principles and is subject of this study.

Maximum Entropy Production Principle of Thermodynamics for the Birth and Evolution of Life [PDF]
EntropyResearch on the birth and evolution of life are reviewed with reference to the maximum entropy production principle (MEPP). It has been shown that this principle is essential for consistent understanding of the birth and evolution of life.

Maximum entropy production and plant optimization theories. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2010 Plant ecologists have proposed a variety of optimization theories to explain the adaptive behaviour and evolution of plants from the perspective of natural selection (‘survival of the fittest’). Optimization theories identify some objective function—such as shoot or canopy photosynthesis, or growth rate—which is maximized with respect to one or more ...

The maximum entropy production principle: two basic questions [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2010 The overwhelming majority of maximum entropy production applications to ecological and environmental systems are based on thermodynamics and statistical physics. Here, we discuss briefly maximum entropy production principle and raises two questions: (i) can this principle be used as the basis for non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

Entropy, 2013 We challenge claims that the principle of maximum entropy production produces physical phenomenological relations between conjugate currents and forces, even beyond the linear regime, and that currents in networks arrange themselves to maximize entropy ...

On the Clausius-Duhem Inequality and Maximum Entropy Production in a Simple Radiating System
Entropy, 2014 A black planet irradiated by a sun serves as the archetype for a simple radiating two-layer system admitting of a continuum of steady states under steadfast insolation.
