Kinematics of rock flow and the interpretation of geological structures, with particular reference to shear zones
Dazhi Jiang,Joseph Clancy White +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that natural flow regimes range from pure shear to pure rotation, including super-simple shear, and that flow with a non-zero spinning component resulting from the rheological contrasts and/or geologically realistic time-dependent boundary displacement can drastically change the ideal geometric and kinematic relations between the fabric and the host zone.

Photosynthetic models with maximum entropy production in irreversible charge transfer steps
Davor Juretić,PašKo Upanović +1 more
TL;DR: Steady-state bacterial photosynthesis is modelled as cyclic chemical reaction and photosynthetic proton pumps operate close to the maximum entropy production mode, connecting biological to thermodynamic evolution in a coupled self-amplifying process.

Some Considerations on Modeling Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media
TL;DR: In this paper some considerations are presented about the equations needed to set up a model of the process of heat and mass transfer in porous media and of the various transport mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
An extended thermodynamic model of transient heat conduction at sub-continuum scales
TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic description of transient heat conduction at small length and timescales is proposed based on extended irreversible thermodynamics and the main feature of this formalism is to elevate the heat flux vector to the status of independent variable at the same level as the temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
On dielectric and magnetic relaxation phenomena and vectorial internal degrees of freedom in thermodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if Z is some vectorial internal degree of freedom which influences the polarization, bip(int) may be defined which is a function of biZ, which may replace biZ as vectorial external degree and which is part of the total specific polarization.
