Thermodynamics as Control Theory [PDF]
Entropy, 2014 I explore the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics by treating the former as a control theory: A theory of which transitions between states can be induced on a system (assumed to obey some known underlying dynamics) by means of operations

Relativistic Statistical Mechanics vs. Relativistic Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2011 Based on a covariant theory of equilibrium Thermodynamics, a Statistical Relativistic Mechanics is developed for the non-interacting case. Relativistic Thermodynamics and Jüttner Relativistic Distribution Function in a moving frame are obtained by using ...

Revisions of the Phenomenological and Statistical Statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
EntropyThe status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, even in the 21st century, is not as certain as when Arthur Eddington wrote about it a hundred years ago.

A Statistical Thermodynamical Interpretation of Metabolism [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 The metabolic network of a cell can be decomposed into discrete elementary modes that contribute, each with a certain probability, to the overall flux through the metabolism. These modes are cell function supporting, fundamental pathways that represent permissible ‘quantum’ states of the metabolism.

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 ...

, 2011 It is often claimed, or hoped, that some temporal asymmetries are explained by the thermodynamic asymmetry in time. Thermodynamics, the macroscopic physics of pressure, temperature, volume, and so on, describes many temporally asymmetric processes.

Hot and Heavy Matters in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 Are the generalizations of classical equilibrium thermodynamics true of self-gravitating systems? This question has not been addressed from a foundational perspective, but here I tackle it through a study of the "paradoxes" commonly said to afflict such ...
