The Fourth Law of Thermodynamics

P. T. Landsberg
- 28 Jul 1972 - 
TL;DR: The theory of structure, stability and fluctuation was introduced by P. Glansdorff and I. Prigogine as mentioned in this paper, and is used in the present paper.

An exploration of equilibrium in Venice Lagoon using an idealised form model

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach is proposed, which only uses attributes that are exogenous to the system, or can be defined a priori (although there is some discussion as to how well this objective is fulfilled in relation to the sedimentary properties).
Journal ArticleDOI

Irreversible thermodynamics of triple junctions during the intergranular void motion under the electromigration forces

TL;DR: In this paper, a rigorous reformulation of internal entropy production and the rate of entropy flow is developed for multi-component systems consisting of heterophases, interfaces and/or surfaces, and the result is a well-posed moving boundary value problem describing the dynamics of curved interfaces and surfaces associated with voids and cracks that are intersected by grain boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entropy production and nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations

TL;DR: The entropy time rate of systems described by nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations--which are directly related to generalized entropic forms--is analyzed and both entropy production, associated with irreversible processes, and entropy flux from the system to its surroundings are studied.

Surface modeling of human carrying capacity of terrestrial ecosystems in China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed surface models for simulating the food provision capacities of cropland, grassland, woodland, and aquatic ecosystems, and found that China's current agricultural structure is responsible for the shortage of food.
