Statistical thermodynamics of clustered populations [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 We present a thermodynamic theory for a generic population of $M$ individuals distributed into $N$ groups (clusters). We construct the ensemble of all distributions with fixed $M$ and $N$, introduce a selection functional that embodies the physics that governs the population, and obtain the distribution that emerges in the scaling limit as the most ...

THERMODYNAMIC LIMIT IN STATISTICAL PHYSICS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2014 The thermodynamic limit in statistical thermodynamics of many-particle systems is an important but often overlooked issue in the various applied studies of condensed matter physics. To settle this issue, we review tersely the past and present disposition of thermodynamic limiting procedure in the structure of the contemporary statistical mechanics and ...

The Cluster Variation Method: A Primer for Neuroscientists
Brain Sciences, 2016 Effective Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) require that the time-varying activation patterns of 2-D neural ensembles be modelled. The cluster variation method (CVM) offers a means for the characterization of 2-D local pattern distributions.

The Smoluchowski Ensemble—Statistical Mechanics of Aggregation
Entropy, 2020 We present a rigorous thermodynamic treatment of irreversible binary aggregation. We construct the Smoluchowski ensemble as the set of discrete finite distributions that are reached in fixed number of merging events and define a probability measure on ...

Making Sense of Gravitational Thermodynamics
Philosophy of PhysicsThe use of statistical methods to model gravitational systems is crucial to physics practice, but yet the extent to which thermodynamics and statistical mechanics genuinely apply to these systems is a contentious issue.

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Small Systems
Entropy, 2018 A challenging frontier in modern statistical physics is concerned with systems with a small number of degrees of freedom, far from the thermodynamic limit.[...]

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.
