DissertationDOI
Alternative technologies for refrigeration and air conditioning applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an assessment of refrigeration technologies that are alternatives to vapor compression refrigeration for use in five application categories: domestic air conditioning, commercial air conditioning and mobile air conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compartmentalization of brain energy metabolism between glia and neurons: insights from mathematical modeling.
Agnès Aubert,Robert Costalat +1 more
TL;DR: The contribution of mathematical modeling of metabolic pathways to the study of the compartmentalization of brain energy metabolism between neurons and glia is reviewed and the possible presence of an astrocyte–neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS) is discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
Morphogenesis and Complexity of the Tumor Patterns
TL;DR: The apoptosis rate was significantly smaller in the tumor tissues and both the mitosis rate and aggressiveness index decrease with Stage III patient’s age, and the entropy production rate was determined for avascular tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Fokker–Planck equations, H – theorem, and entropies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the H - theorem like to systems subjected to a process that implies in a nonconservation of the number of particles, and obtain for these cases the entropy production in order to verify that the entropy in these situations system increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum entropy production: application to crystal growth and chemical kinetics
TL;DR: In this article, a number of recent results on the application of the maximum entropy production principle in chemical kinetics and non-equilibrium crystallization are reviewed, with a special attention paid to the explanation of the principle's scope of applicability.
