Brains exhibit plasticity, multi-scale integration of information, computation and memory,
having evolved by specialization of non-neural cells that already possessed many of the …

Living systems are open, out-of-equilibrium thermodynamic entities, that maintain order by
locally reducing their entropy. Aging is a process by which these systems gradually lose …

Nonequilibrium temperature is a topic of research with continuously growing interest
because of recent improvements in and applications of nonequilibrium thermodynamics …

This book has discussed some of the most important aspects in the current state of the
sciences of complexity, self-organization, and evolution. A central theme in this field is the …

Far-from-equilibrium systems are ubiquitous in nature. They are also rich in terms of diversity
and complexity. Therefore, it is an intellectual challenge to be able to understand the physics …

Synergy is often defined as the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. It
is found at all levels of organization in physics, chemistry, biology, social sciences, and the …

In this paper we present a detailed description of the statistical and computational
techniques that were employed to study a driven far-from-equilibrium steady-state Rayleigh …

Soft-matter systems when driven out of equilibrium often give rise to structures that usually
lie in between the macroscopic scale of the material and microscopic scale of its …

An approach that extends equilibrium thermodynamics principles to out-of-equilibrium
systems is based on the local equilibrium hypothesis. However, the validity of the a priori …
