Entropy Production during Asymptotically Safe Inflation

February 24, 2025February 26, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by Alfio Bonanno and Martin Reuter and published in 2011. The abstract states: “The Asymptotic Safety scenario predicts that the deep ultraviolet of Quantum Einstein Gravity is governed by a nontrivial renormalization group fixed point. Analyzing its implications for cosmology using renormalization group improved Einstein equations, we find that it can…

Principle of Maximum Entropy Production –Applicability to social analysis

February 24, 2025March 1, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by Hiroshi Serizawa, Takashi Amemiya, and Kiminori Itoh and published in 2011. It appears to be the first effort to use the principle of maximum entropy production in sociology. The abstract states: “Entropy of the system is controlled by two fundamental laws: one is the second law of thermodynamics that is…

Statistical Physics of Self Replication

February 24, 2025February 26, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by Jeremy L. England and published in 2013. The abstract states: “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 by…

Entropy Production and the Origin of Life

February 24, 2025February 26, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by Karo Michaelian and Oliver Manuel and published in 2011. The abstract states: “All irreversible processes arise and persist to produce entropy. Entropy production is not incidental to such processes, but rather the very reason for their origin and persistence. Here we take such a thermodynamic perspective on the origin of…

A Fourth Law of Thermodynamics

February 24, 2025February 26, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by R. Morel and George Fleck and published in 2006. It applies the maximum entropy production principle to chemistry. The abstract states: “Classical thermodynamics, based on conservation of matter and energy and on the increase of entropy accompanying every natural event, reliably predicts equilibrium properties of macroscopic systems, regardless of the…

Entropy production of soil hydrological processes and its maximization

February 24, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written Axel Kleidon, P. Porada, and S. J. Schymanski and published in 2011. The abstract states: “Hydrological processes are irreversible and produce entropy. Hence, the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used here to describe them mathematically. This means ﬂows of water are written as functions of gradients in the gravitational and chemical…

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Its Theoretical Foundations and Applications to the Earth System

February 24, 2025February 24, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by Axel Kleidon and James Dyke and published in 2010. The abstract states: “The Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle has been remarkably successful in producing accurate predictions for non-equilibrium states. We argue that this is because the MEP principle is an effective inference procedure that produces the best predictions from the…

NET and the Production of Entropy: Life, Earth and Beyond

February 23, 2025February 28, 2025 Admin No Comments

This book was written by Axel Kleidon and Ralph Lorenz and published in 2005. It studies the application of concepts from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to a variety of research topics. Emphasis is on the Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle and applications to Geosphere-Biosphere couplings. Written by leading researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, the book…

Maximum entropy production principle in physics, chemistry and biology

February 23, 2025March 1, 2025 Admin No Comments

This paper was written by L. M. Martyushev and V. D. Seleznev and published in 2006. The abstract states: “The tendency of the entropy to a maximum as an isolated system is relaxed to the equilibrium (the second law of thermodynamics) has been known since the mid-19th century. However, independent theoretical and applied studies, which…
