From Relativistic Mechanics towards Relativistic Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2017 Till now, kinetic theory and statistical mechanics of either free or interacting point particles were well defined only in non-relativistic inertial frames in the absence of the long-range inertial forces present in accelerated frames.

Thermodynamic efficiency in dissipative chemistry
Nature Communications, 2019 Open chemical systems operate out of equilibrium, providing more opportunities than closed systems, but a theoretical framework to describe their performance is lacking. Here, the authors assess the efficiency of two classes of dissipative processes with

Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2012 I defend the idea that the fact that no system is entirely isolated (“Interventionism”) can be used to explain the successful use of the microcanonical distribution in statistical mechanics.

Negative differential response in chemical reactions
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Reaction currents in chemical networks usually increase when increasing their driving affinities. But far from equilibrium the opposite can also happen. We find that such negative differential response (NDR) occurs in reaction schemes of major biological

Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics and Entropy
Entropy, 2017 The proper definition of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic entropy is discussed in the light of recent developments. The postulates for thermodynamics are examined critically, and some modifications are suggested to allow for the inclusion of long ...

Some speculations about local thermalization of nonequilibrium extended quantum systems
Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 We discuss the possibility of defining an emergent local temperature in extended quantum many-body systems evolving out of equilibrium. For the most simple case of free-fermionic systems, we give an explicit formula for the effective temperature in the ...

Work statistics in stochastically driven systems
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We identify the conditions under which a stochastic driving that induces energy changes into a system coupled with a thermal bath can be treated as a work source.

Is Kaniadakis κ-generalized statistical mechanics general?
Physics Letters B, 2023 In this Letter we introduce some field-theoretic approach for computing the critical properties of systems undergoing continuous phase transitions governed by the κ-generalized statistics, namely κ-generalized statistical field theory.

Statistical Mechanics Involving Fractal Temperature
Fractal and Fractional, 2019 In this paper, the Schrödinger equation involving a fractal time derivative is solved and corresponding eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are given. A partition function for fractal eigenvalues is defined.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...
