Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Viral Evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 This paper uses methods drawn from physics to study the life cycle of viruses. The paper analyzes a model of viral infection and evolution using the "grand canonical ensemble" and formalisms from statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.

Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2001 The aim of this article is to analyse the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

Concepts, Challenges and Successes in Modeling Thermodynamics of Metabolism
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2014 The modeling of the chemical reactions involved in metabolism is a daunting task. Ideally, the modeling of metabolism would use kinetic simulations, but these simulations require knowledge of the thousands of rate constants involved in the reactions. The

Mechanical Proof of the Second Law of Thermodynamics Based on Volume Entropy [PDF]
, 2007 In a previous work (M. Campisi. Stud. Hist. Phil. M. P. 36 (2005) 275-290) we have addressed the mechanical foundations of equilibrium thermodynamics on the basis of the Generalized Helmholtz Theorem.

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 ...

Interatomic Interactions in F.C.C.-Ni–Fe Alloys
Успехи физики металлов, 2010 Within the scope of the self-consistent-field (SCF) and mean-SCF (MSCF) approximations, static-concentration-waves and Matsubara–Kanzaki–Krivoglaz lattice statics methods, on the basis of state-of-the-art diffraction data concerning coherent and diffuse ...

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 ...
