Language Individuation and Marker Words: Shakespeare and His Maxwell's Demon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND:Within the structural and grammatical bounds of a common language, all authors develop their own distinctive writing styles. Whether the relative occurrence of common words can be measured to produce accurate models of authorship is of ...

Physical Review E, 2020 An autonomous out-of-equilibrium Maxwell's demon is used to reverse the natural direction of the heat flux between two electric circuits kept at different temperatures and coupled by the electric thermal noise. The demon does not process any information,

Weaponizing Nature, Naturalizing Violence: Anthropologies of Ecofascism
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 224-236, March 2026.ABSTRACT After decades of denial and obstruction, the global Right is increasingly willing to acknowledge that climate change is a threat to lives and lifeways everywhere. Moreover, some seize on the specter of ecological collapse to advance fascistic politics.

Quantum Carnot Bound from Petz Recovery Maps
Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.A quantum bound (ηP$\eta_P$, the Petz Limit) is derived for the efficiency (η$\eta$) of a heat engine utilizing two‐level quantum systems (qubits) as the working substance. This limit, based on Petz recovery maps, is stricter than the classical Carnot limit (ηC$\eta_C$) for irreversible cycles.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

The Evil Enemy: Belief in Conspiracy Theories Predicts Attitudes to War
European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1420-1435, December 2025.ABSTRACT Political leaders often justify war with conspiracy theories. How effective are such conspiracy theories in gathering public support for war? The present research has investigated the effects of conspiracy theories on people's war‐related attitudes.

Maxwell’s Demon and Comoving Observers in General Relativity: What Do They Have in Common?
Proceedings, 2017 We elaborate on the similarities between the explanation of the well known Maxwell’s demon paradox, based on the theory of information, and the rationale behind the fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non–comoving ...

Entropy production and fluctuations in a Maxwell's refrigerator with squeezing
, 2018 Clarifying the impact of quantumness in the operation and properties of thermal machines represents a major challenge. Here we envisage a toy model acting either as an information-driven fridge or as heat-powered information eraser in which coherences ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.
