Uniqueness of thermodynamic projector and kinetic basis of molecular individualism
Gorban, Alexander N.; Karlin, Iliya V. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 336 (2004) 3, pp. 391-432
Three results are presented: First, we solve the problem of persistence of dissipation for reduction of kinetic models. Kinetic equations with thermodynamic Lyapunov functions are studied. Uniqueness of the thermodynamic projector is proven: There exists only one projector which transforms any...

Winescape perception and big data analysis: An assessment through social media photographs in the Chianti Classico region
Sottini, Veronica Alampi; Barbierato, Elena; Bernetti, … - In: Wine Economics and Policy 8 (2019) 2, pp. 127-140
Quantifying and mapping the relevant landscape attributes of winescape is difficult due to both the complex identity characterization of the places and the multidimensionality of the pursued perceptive experience on the emotional level. Although the quality of the rural landscape is recognized...
