Random paths and current fluctuations in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics

TL;DR: A recent overview of recent advances in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics about the statistics of random paths and current fluctuations can be found in this article, where the authors present results for classical systems in the escape-rate formalism, stochastic processes, and open quantum systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Instability of uniform fluidization

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary between uniform and non-uniform fluidization can be detected by stability analysis based on Prigogine's minimum of entropy production principle, and this criterion for N parallel paths can be simplified into calculating the second derivative of pressure drop through one path with respect of total solids pressure loading.

A threshold model for polydactyly.

TL;DR: The model provides a refinement of the previous Hemingway model for digit novelty and supports Turing type pattern formation in the vertebrate limb and discusses the application of this type of autopod patterning to the mutational, developmental, experimental, and evolutionary occurrences of polydactyly.

Some consequences of the application of the second law of thermodynamics to cellular systems.

TL;DR: Cellular division is examined in terms of the limitations imposed by the second law of thermodynamics and the minimum amount of waste material accompanying cellular synthesis is computed.

A diagnostic tool to study long-term changes in estuary morphology

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid modeling approach is used to predict the state of the estuary relative to its present day target steady state in order to study the functional morphology of estuaries and the potential implications of developments.
