Recent Developments in ab initio Thermodynamics
It has recently become possible to calculate the free energy and other thermodynamic functions of solids and liquids using density functional theory to treat the quantum mechanics of the electrons. We present the main ideas that have made this possible, emphasizing the key role of thermodynamic integration and the importance of well-adapted reference systems in the computation of the free energ...
متن کاملThe architecture of thermodynamics and its future developments
The way contemporary thermodynamics works is based on hypotheses and measurements, both at the microscopic level of individual particles and at the macroscopic level of the " large " systems. The first kind of hypotheses and measurements are based on mechanical The second kind are based on the definition of new quantities such as temperature, amount of heat, entropy, and of their assumed proper...
متن کاملRecent developments in thermodynamics and thermophysics of non-aqueous mixtures containing ionic liquids. A review
Mixtures of ionic liquids with organic solvents exhibit a most interesting research area in thermodynamics. The increasing utilization of ionic liquids in chemical processes and separation processes requires reliable and systematic data of thermodynamic and thermophysical properties such as activity coefficients, VLE and LLE data, heats of mixing as well as gas solubility data, densities and tr...
متن کاملGlobal Developments in Priority Setting in Health
Countries around the world are experiencing an ever-increasing need to make choices in investments in health and healthcare. This makes it incumbent upon them to have formal processes in place to optimize the legitimacy of eventual decisions. There is now growing experience among countries of the implementation of stakeholder participation, and a developing convergence of methods to support dec...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Discrete Event Systems
This article is a brief exposure of the process approach to a newly emerging area called "discrete event systems" in control theory and summarizes some of the recent developments in this area. Discrete event systems is an area of research that is developing within the interstices of computer, control and communication sciences. The basic direction of research addresses issues in the analysis an...
