The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) was repeatedly and independently
proposed in the mid-20th century in various fields of physics and proved to be extremely …

A set of disordered interacting building blocks may form ordered structures by means of a
self-assembling process. An external intervention in the system by adding a chemical …

This book argues that a plausible account of emergence requires replacing the traditional
assumption that what primarily exists are particular entities with generic processes …

Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a
long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production …

A new definition of life is proposed and discussed in the present article. It is formulated by
modifying and extending NASA's working definition of life, which postulates that life is a “self …

Complex Systems are natural systems that science is unable to describe exhaustively.
Examples of Complex Systems are both unicellular and multicellular living beings; human …

While behavior of equilibrium systems is well understood, evolution of nonequilibrium ones
is much less clear. Yet, many researches have suggested that the principle of the maximum …

Wetland reconstruction is an effective way to solve the severe environmental problems
caused by natural disasters and human activities. In this study, we implemented three …

The rheological behaviour of an emulsion made of an active polar component and an
isotropic passive fluid is studied by lattice Boltzmann methods. Different flow regimes are …
