Statistical physics for cosmic structures [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2007 The recent observations of galaxy and dark matter clumpy distributions have provided new elements to the understating of the problem of cosmological structure formation.

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,

Statistical Physics of RNA-folding [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 We discuss the physics of RNA as described by its secondary structure. We examine the static properties of a homogeneous RNA-model that includes pairing and base stacking energies as well as entropic costs for internal loops.

Statistical physics of social dynamics [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the interactions of individuals as ...

Advances in statistical physics
Open Physics, 2009 The organization of this Conference settled the foundation of a series hold up to following a three-year cycle. The founding declaration, undersigned by more than 100 physicists, is now deposited at the Orthodox Academy of Crete and will move to the sites of the future editions of the Conference.

A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria. [PDF]
Mov Ecol, 2019 Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point of view of swarming bacteria, with an emphasis on the statistical ...

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 Human Cooperation [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2017 Extensive cooperation among unrelated individuals is unique to humans, who often sacrifice personal benefits for the common good and work together to achieve what they are unable to execute alone. The evolutionary success of our species is indeed due, to a large degree, to our unparalleled other-regarding abilities.

Statistical physics of liquid brains [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Liquid neural networks (or “liquid brains”) are a widespread class of cognitive living networks characterised by a common feature: the agents (ants or immune cells, for example) move in space.

Statistical Physics of Self-Replication [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012 Self-replication is a capacity common to every species of living thing, and simple physical intuition dictates that such a process must invariably be fueled by the production of entropy. Here, we undertake to make this intuition rigorous and quantitative
