Cover Story: Gear shifting is best known from car driving. On a flat highway, the highest gear gives the highest speed. When driving uphill, shifting to a lower gear may increase the speed and prevent stalling; the optimal gear number decreases with the increasing slope of the hill. Can living organisms shift gears? The answer is yes. Cells can engage in alternative pathways that enable them to continue making energy molecules (‘ATP’) when these contain more Gibbs energy, even though this uses more nutrient energy per energy molecule. The continued synthesis of the energy molecules enables the cells to utilize these for growth and survival when faced with thermodynamic challenges. View this paper

We study the role of unstable points in the Bohmian flow of a 2d system composed of two non-interacting harmonic oscillators. In particular, we study the unstable points in the inertial frame of reference as well as in the frame of reference of the m...

Upgrading the Fusion of Imprecise Classifiers

  • Serafín Moral-García,
  • María D. Benítez and
  • Joaquín Abellán

19 July 2023

Imprecise classification is a relatively new task within Machine Learning. The difference with standard classification is that not only is one state of the variable under study determined, a set of states that do not have enough information against t...

We propose a thermodynamic model describing the thermoelastic behavior of composition graded materials. The compatibility of the model with the second law of thermodynamics is explored by applying a generalized Coleman–Noll procedure. For the m...

Thermodynamic Entropy as a Noether Invariant from Contact Geometry

  • Alessandro Bravetti,
  • Miguel Ángel García-Ariza and
  • Diego Tapias

19 July 2023

We use a formulation of Noether’s theorem for contact Hamiltonian systems to derive a relation between the thermodynamic entropy and the Noether invariant associated with time-translational symmetry. In the particular case of thermostatted syst...
