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 ...

Making Sense of Gravitational Thermodynamics

Philosophy of Physics
The 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.[...]

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

The Thermodynamics of Exercise Science [PDF]

, 2014
This article describes the "human body engine" via a thermodynamics-based model that considers the work associated with gas pressure, volume and temperature changes for the glucose-based equation of respiration.

Statistical Thermodynamics of Polymer Quantum Systems

Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2011
Polymer quantum systems are mechanical models quantized similarly as loop quantum gravity. It is actually in quantizing gravity that the polymer term holds proper as the quantum geometry excitations yield a reminiscent of a polymer material.

Fluctuations of Intensive Quantities in Statistical Thermodynamics

Entropy, 2013
In phenomenological thermodynamics, the canonical coordinates of a physical system split in pairs, with each pair consisting of an extensive quantity and an intensive one.

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.

Hydrogen-, Helium-, and Lithium-like Bound States in Classical and Quantum Plasmas

Plasma, 2022
We study the effective interactions and the mass action constants for pair and triple associations in classical and quantum plasmas. Avoiding double counting, we derive new expressions for the mass action constants.
