Statistical optimization for passive scalar transport: maximum entropy production versus maximum Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2015 We derive rigorous results on the link between the principle of maximum entropy production and the principle of maximum Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy for a Markov model of the passive scalar diffusion called the Zero Range Process.

Principle of Least Effort and Sentence Length in Public Speaking
Entropy, 2021 The analysis of sentence lengths in the inaugural speeches of US presidents and the annual speeches of UK party leaders is carried out. Transcripts of the speeches are used, rather than the oral production.

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.

Entropy production by evapotranspiration and its geographic variation
Soil and Water Research, 2008 The hydrologic cycle is a system far from thermodynamic equilibrium that is characterized by its rate of entropy production in the climatological mean steady state.

Entropy, 2020 Understanding how nature drives entropy production offers novel insights regarding patient care. Whilst energy is always preserved and energy gradients irreversibly dissipate (thus producing entropy), increasing evidence suggests that they do so in the ...

Entropy production of soil hydrological processes and its maximisation [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2011 Hydrological processes are irreversible and produce entropy. Hence, the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used here to describe them mathematically.

An Introduction to the Non-Equilibrium Steady States of Maximum Entropy Spike Trains
Entropy, 2019 Although most biological processes are characterized by a strong temporal asymmetry, several popular mathematical models neglect this issue. Maximum entropy methods provide a principled way of addressing time irreversibility, which leverages powerful ...

Ewing Sarcoma in Infants and Children Under 2 Years of Age: A French Retrospective Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ewing sarcoma, the second most common primary bone cancer in children, requires intensive treatment that may lead to significant long‐term sequelae, particularly in infants. We retrospectively analyzed data from 1621 French patients treated between 1988 and 2015 within the EW88/93/97 or EE99 trials, focusing on 17 infants diagnosed before 24 ...

Differences and implications in biogeochemistry from maximizing entropy production locally versus globally [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2011 In this manuscript we investigate the use of the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle for modeling biogeochemical processes that are catalyzed by living systems.
