An Explanation of the Landauer bound and its ineffectiveness with regard to multivalued logic
Technical Transactions, 2020 We discuss, using recent results on the thermodynamics of multivalued logic, the difficulties and pitfalls of how to apply the Landauer’s principle to thermodynamic computer memory models. The presentation is based on Szilard’s version of Maxwell’s demon

The influence of measurement error on Maxwell's demon
, 2017 In any general cycle of measurement, feedback and erasure, the measurement will reduce the entropy of the system when information about the state is obtained, while erasure, according to Landauer's principle, is accompanied by a corresponding increase in

Nonlinear bosonic Maxwell’s demon by coupling to qubits
Communications PhysicsThe concept of Maxwell’s demon, proposed in classical physics as a means to extract work from a thermodynamics system beyond the constraints set by the second law of thermodynamics, has since been extended to modern quantum physics.

A Modified Szilard's Engine: Measurement, Information, and Maxwell's Demon
Entropy, 2004 : Using an isolated measurement process, I've calculated the effect measurement has on entropy for the multi-cylinder Szilard engine. This calculation shows that the system of cylinders possesses an entropy associated with cylinder total energy states ...

Limits of Landauer’s principle and of the second law of thermodynamics
EntropieSince 1857, the second law of thermodynamics has faced the challenge of Maxwell’s imagined demon. The widely accepted response to this challenge suggests that the demon requires a bit of information to work, and according to Landauer’s principle ...

DEMONIC programming: a computational language for single-particle equilibrium thermodynamics, and its formal semantics. [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 Maxwell's Demon, 'a being whose faculties are so sharpened that he can follow every molecule in its course', has been the centre of much debate about its abilities to violate the second law of thermodynamics.

Maxwell's Demon Does Not Compute [PDF]
, 2017 Must a Maxwell demon must fail to reverse the second law of thermodynamics? Standard attempts to show it must fail make use of notions of information and computation. None of these attempts have succeeded.

Hamiltonian Derivations of the Generalized Jarzynski Equalities under Feedback Control
, 2011 In the presence of feedback control by "Maxwell's demon," the second law of thermodynamics and the nonequilibrium equalities such as the Jarzynski equality need to be generalized.

A 15‐Year Time Series Shows Major Declines in Whale Sharks in Southern Mozambique
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT A 15‐year dataset (2005–2019) of 706 photo‐identified whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) off Praia do Tofo in Mozambique allowed us to assess the local abundance trend, and size‐ and sex‐specific sighting and abundance trends, using both generalised additive models and capture–mark–recapture models.
