Reductions and extensions in mesoscopic dynamics.

TL;DR: This work discusses extensions in which extra state variables are found in the vector fields appearing on the level that they want to extend, and reduces to a level with fewer details.

Modeling Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of a Discrete Probability Distribution: General Rate Equation for Maximal Entropy Generation in a Maximum-Entropy Landscape with Time-Dependent Constraints

TL;DR: The rate equation is extended to include the case of assigned time-dependences of the constraints and the entropy, such as for modeling non-equilibrium energy and entropy exchanges.

Entropy generation and cell growth with comments for a thermodynamic anticancer approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a new anticancer therapy based on the entropy generation is proposed, and the results obtained consist of theoretical analysis of the lifetimes of the processes which occur in cells and the numerical evaluation of the theoretical model proposed.

Nondiffusive Toroidal-Momentum-Transport in the JFT-2M Tokamak Plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a nondiffusive term in the toroidal-momentum-transport equation is evaluated by the analysis of the transport of toroidal rotation in the transient phase, where the direction of neutral beam injection is changed from parallel to the plasma current to antiparallel.
