Entropy production in irreversible systems described by a Fokker-Planck equation
Tânia Tomé,Mário J. de Oliveira +1 more
TL;DR: The irreversibility and the entropy production in nonequilibrium interacting particle systems described by a Fokker-Planck equation by the use of a suitable master equation representation and the connection between the definition of entropy production rate and the Jarzynski equality is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stationary open systems: A brief review on contemporary theories on irreversibility
TL;DR: In this paper, two apparently opposed principles for their rate of entropy production have been proposed: the minimum entropy production rate and the maximum entropy production, useful in the analysis of dissipation and irreversibility of different processes in physics, chemistry, biology and engineering.

An electrochemomechanical theory of defects in ionic solids. I. Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework to account for the coupling between mechanical stresses and diffusion of charged defects in ionic solids, which consists of a system of nonlinear differential/algebraic equations governing the defect concentrations, electrostatic potential and the mechanical stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological nature of knowledge in the learning organisation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a biological approach to the analysis of learning organizations based on complexity theory, autopoiesis, and evolutionary epistemology to evaluate the autopoietic status of any kind of complex system.

From reversible quantum microdynamics to irreversible quantum transport
Jochen Rau,Berndt Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the transition from reversible microdynamics to irreversible transport can be studied very efficiently and systematically with the help of the so-called projection method, which is used to analyze the well-known rate and quantum Boltzmann equations, and as a new application, the derivation of a source term which accounts for the spontaneous creation of electronpositron pairs in strong fields.
