On the Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator Method

TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of the Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator Method (NSOM) for the study of dissipative dynamic systems far from equilibrium is discussed, which can be encompassed by a unifying variational principle, which produces a large family of NSO that contains existing examples as particular cases.

Historical Introit The origins of rational thermodynamics

TL;DR: The difference between history and tradition is not peculiar to science; it is a regular aspect of common forgetting and death as mentioned in this paper, and it is not a new phenomenon in any discipline.
Journal ArticleDOI

A non-local visco-elastic damage model and dynamic fracturing

TL;DR: In this article, an extended formulation of a non-linear continuum visco-elastic damage rheology is presented, which accounts for non-local damage accumulation, dynamic fracturing, and transition from solid to granular state in the slip zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-ordered polymers and propagative cell-like systems.

TL;DR: Origin of life data, discussing self ordered polymers, propagative cell-like systems, protenoids, cellular evolution, etc.

Irreversible Processes and Physical Interpretation of Rational Thermodynamics

TL;DR: Bataille and de Gruyter as mentioned in this paper presented a synthesis of recent developments that have extended the domain of validity of the classical version of thermodynamics of irreversible processes and generalized its methods, which is largely based on the recognition of the fact that the real, nonequilibrium state of a material particle undergoing an irreversible process always remains close to a properly selected constrained equilibrium state.
