The present days can be considered a crossroad in the history of our world because the economic, social, and environmental needs do not agree one another. The result is the present socio-economic difficulties, from which it seems very difficult to escape. A new viewpoint must be introduced, but...

Recently, we have introduced a new bioeconomic indicator in order to avoid the difficulties in evaluating the process and technologies for sustainability. In this paper, we wish to improve this new indicator for the analysis of sustainability. Indeed, the indicator has been based on the exergy...

The entropy approach to the evolution of open systems is analyzed, using Lotka’s principle as a starting point. A Lagrangian is sought after to develop an analytical method for the evaluation of the stationary states of open irreversible systems. The stationary conditions for open systems are...

The chemical–physical analysis of the DNA have pointed out the connections between forces, thermodynamics and kinetics. The entropy generation approach has been suggested as a thermodynamic approach to evaluate the accessible states for cancer systems, in relation to their thermodynamic...

The magnetic refrigeration, for the second order transition materials, is considered and its ideal coefficient of performance COP is obtained by a general physics approach. The COP is shown to depend on the temperature in a non-linear way and on the magnetic field ratio, at the temperature...

Biomechanical analyses of DNA have pointed out the connections among forces, thermodynamics and kinetics. The entropy generation approach has been suggested as a thermodynamic approach to evaluate the accessible states for cancer systems, in relation to their specific thermodynamic quantities,...

Thermodynamics studies the transformations of energy occurring in open systems. Living systems, with particular reference to cells, are complex systems in which energy transformations occur. Thermo-electro-chemical processes and transports occur across their border, the cells membranes. These...

Progress always requires energy. Up today, the energy needs have been provided by combustion of fossil fuels and this has increased the air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gasses. Consequently, the greenhouse emission problem could represents a concrete opportunity to promote the...
