TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

A note on the thermodynamics of gravitational radiation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that linearized gravitational radiation confined in a cavity can achieve thermal equilibrium if the mean density of the radiation and the size of the cavity satisfy certain constraints.

Relation between inverse emission and absorption rates for multiphonon transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between inverse emission and absorption rates for multiphonon transitions is investigated through detailed balancing and also through specific quantum-mechanical models of these transitions.

Specific Features of Excitation Migration in Photosynthesis

TL;DR: Energy migration is a very general phenomenon that proceeds between oscillating systems in mechanics, acoustics and electricity, it takes place in our world, in planet systems and between molecules in the microworld as mentioned in this paper.
