Biological systems are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Concentration gradients and electrostatic potential differences are the driving forces for diffusive currents and chemical reactions. In this chapter, we present the basic ingredients of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We derive continuity equations for mass and energy.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of light absorption
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1999Summary: Free-energy transduction, the basic physical process underlying the phenomena of life has been described by non-equilibrium thermodynamics. However, the possibility of a thermodynamic description of the very first step, the conversion of solar energy to the free energy of the living material, has been questioned on the basis of an apparent ...

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics of Molecular Evolution
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1998The evolution of the information complexity of a large database of protein sequences is investigated. The information entropy for protein sequences is determined from their algorithmic complexity and is found to change with evolutionary time at a constant rate.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and degenerate disease
Medical Hypotheses, 1984Non-equilibrium thermodynamics, biochemistry and physiology can be associated to form a possible foundation for a theory of nutritional medicine. The theory predicts a new class of diseases. The relationship between this new class and cancer is discussed.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and physical kinetics
2014This new edition covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. Supplementary material on the non-equilibrium statistical operator (NSO) method for calculating kinetics coefficients describing spintronics is included in this new addition. This book is an easy-to-read text describing the

Non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics
Journal of Molecular Liquids, 1995Abstract By suggesting that gas kinetic collisions are the source of irreversibility, Boltzmann's kinetic equation leads to a paradox. In a monograph entitled Non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics, applied to fluid dynamics and laser physics the author developed an original alternative theory.

Fluctuations and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998Abstract A closed macroscopic system with fluctuating local properties is treated as a thermodynamic system with internal degrees of freedom. Gibb’s entropy postulate is used to define the systems’ entropy as a functional of the probability density in internal coordinate space.
