Concepts of everyday use such as energy, heat, and temperature have acquired a precise
meaning after the development of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics provides the basis for …

We show how to construct nonequilibrium thermodynamics for systems too small to be
considered thermodynamically in a traditional sense. Through the use of a nonequilibrium …

In this work, we consider extended irreversible thermodynamics in assuming that the entropy
density is a function of both common thermodynamic variables and their higher-order time …

This paper presents theory and simulation of viscous dissipation in evolving interfaces and
membranes under kinematic conditions, known as astigmatic flow, ubiquitous during growth …

We propose a free energy expression accounting for the formation of spherical vesicles from
planar lipid membranes and derive a Fokker–Planck equation for the probability distribution …

In this study, a comprehensive view of a model crystal formation in a complex fluctuating
medium is presented. The model incorporates Gaussian curvature effects at the crystal …

The review concerns various aspects of application of the classical nonequilibrium
thermodynamics to the description of transfer processes in colloidal systems. Specific …

Model matter agglomerations, with temperature as leading control parameter, have been
considered, and some of their characteristics have been studied. The primary interest has …

When a compliant sheet of material is dragged over a curved surface of a body, the frictional
forces generated can be many times greater than they would be for a planar interface. This …

A strong structural regularity of classes is found in soccer teams ranked by the Union of
European Football Associations (UEFA) for the time interval 2009–2014. It concerns 424 to …
