The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Heart

Future Cardiology, 2012
The second law of thermodynamics explains the phenomenon of irreversibility and the increasing entropic trend of nature. Similar to human-made machines, living structures are subjected to entropy generation, becoming 'worn' and 'damaged' from use. However, they have the possibility of eluding or deferring these processes.

GRAVITATION AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004
Just as gravitons can carry energy, they can also be used to transmit information. It follows that an entropy should be associated with gravitational degrees of freedom, independent of the presence or absence of black holes. In this essay, we discuss how one might count gravitational entropy given a classical gravitational field.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

2018
The second law of thermodynamics is one of the most important concepts in thermodynamics, and a full understanding of it is required in order to understand the field as a whole. However, it is relatively complex and difficult to understand due to the complexity inherent in explaining it. Therefore, this book devotes considerable space to the second law

Life and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Nature, 1946
WHETHER life processes obey the second law of thermodynamics or if life finds a way of evading the otherwise universal dissipation of energy has been something of a puzzle for a century. Kelvin left the matter open in his formulation of the Second Law, by expressly excluding the operations of ‘animate agencies’.

The second law of thermodynamics

1991
The first law of thermodynamics was developed in Chapter 4 from a study of the effects of adiabatic work on the state of a system. This law introduces the concept of internal energy (a non-primitive state function) and imposes certain limitations on the changes that can occur in a system under given constraints.
