Follow the Multitude—A Thermodynamic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
When a bit is added to a file, its entropy increases by one nat regardless of the length of the file or the value of the bit. However, when a node is added to a network, the entropy increase is a function of the ratio between the links and the nodes in the network. Therefore, the thermodynamic incentive for a node to join a highly linked network is higher than to join a poorly linked network.

A New Thermodynamic Approach for Protein Partitioning in Reverse Micellar Solution
Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phase...
متن کاملCoating of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Human and Bovine Serum Albumins: A Thermodynamic Approach
In this research, the Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe304) were prepared by coprecipitation of Fe3+ andFE solution in alkaline medium. Two kinds of surfactants, cetyl tri methyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) and cetyl pyridinum chloride (CPC) were used in the synthesis. Fe304 Nanoparticles werecoated with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Characteristics ofcoated magnetic nanopartic...

Thermodynamic analysis of the cracking of hexane has been conducted by the Gibbs free energy minimization method and second law analysis of overall reactions. By-products have been divided into three groups of methane, alkynes and aromatics and their possible production paths have been discussed. Effect of operating conditions such as temperature and steam-to-hexane ratio on the cracking perfor...

Metallo-β-lactamases (MβL) catalyzing the hydrolytic cleavage of the four-membered β-lactam ring in broad spectrum of antibiotics and therefore inactivating the drug; However, the mechanism of these enzymes is still not well understood. Electronic structure and electronic energy of metallo-β-lactamase active center, two inhibitors of this enzyme including penicillin and cephalexin, and differen...
متن کاملThe appearance of multitude from unit in Farabi’s
Farabi has described the problem of emanation with negative determiners and referred to the first intellect as the first case of emanation. For him, the appearance of multitude by intellect is described on a dual order; though the way of description is not accepted by the philosophers before him, specially by Avicenna. Farabi links the old physics to the problem of emanation and, therefore, ...
