Statistical Physics of Evolving Systems [PDF]

Entropy, 2021
Evolution is customarily perceived as a biological process. However, when formulated in terms of physics, evolution is understood to entail everything.

Statistical physics of design

New Journal of Physics, 2018
A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global system objectives. Global objectives give rise to competing design pressures,

Discussion on Electron Temperature of Gas-Discharge Plasma with Non-Maxwellian Electron Energy Distribution Function Based on Entropy and Statistical Physics [PDF]

Entropy, 2023
Electron temperature is reconsidered for weakly-ionized oxygen and nitrogen plasmas with its discharge pressure of a few hundred Pa, with its electron density of the order of 1017m−3 and in a state of non-equilibrium, based on thermodynamics and ...

Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

Inferring potential landscapes from noisy trajectories of particles within an optical feedback trap

iScience, 2022
Summary: While particle trajectories encode information on their governing potentials, potentials can be challenging to robustly extract from trajectories.

Insights into the quantification and reporting of model-related uncertainty across different disciplines

iScience, 2022
Summary: Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world impacts in diverse ...

Possible route to efficient thermoelectric applications in a driven fractal network

Scientific Reports, 2021
An essential attribute of many fractal structures is self-similarity. A Sierpinski gasket (SPG) triangle is a promising example of a fractal lattice that exhibits localized energy eigenstates.
