Finite Size Polyelectrolyte Bundles at Thermodynamic Equilibrium
We present the results of extensive computer simulations performed on solutions of monodisperse charged rod-like polyelectrolytes in the presence of trivalent counterions. To overcome energy barriers we used a combination of parallel tempering and hybrid Monte Carlo techniques. Our results show that for small values of the electrostatic interaction the solution mostly consists of dispersed sing...
متن کاملA Thermodynamic Analysis of Mitotic Spindle Equilibrium at Active Metaphase
The mitotic apparatus of first-division metaphase eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus drobachiensis was observed by means of polarization microscopy under controlled temperature conditions. Eggs were fertilized and grown at two temperature extremes in order to produce two different sizes of available spindle pool. Slow division time allowed successive samples of such cells to be observed ...
متن کاملLocal equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia.
Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic inertia, the assumption of local equilibrium leads to negative values of the entropy production, which is in contradiction with the second law of thermodynamics. In this paper, we address this question by suggesting a v...
متن کاملFrom Local to Global Equilibrium States: Thermodynamic Formalism via an Inducing Scheme
We present a method to construct equilibrium states via induction. This method can be used for some non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems and for non-Hölder continuous potentials. It allows to prove the occurrence of phase transition.
متن کاملFar-from-equilibrium measurements of thermodynamic length.
Thermodynamic length is a path function that generalizes the notion of length to the surface of thermodynamic states. Here, we show how to measure thermodynamic length in far-from-equilibrium experiments using the work fluctuation relations. For these microscopic systems, it proves necessary to define the thermodynamic length in terms of the Fisher information. Consequently, the thermodynamic l...
