Within Tsallis’ nonextensive statistics, a model is elaborated to address self-similar time series as a thermodynamic system. Thermodynamic-type characteristics relevant to temperature, pressure, entropy, internal and free energies are introduced and tested. Stability conditions of time series analysis are discussed in details on the basis of Van der Waals model.

Evaluation of thermal stability and runaway behavior of any exothermic chemical system is of great importance for the design and operation of a chemical process. The evaluation process should be based on a thorough investigation of the reaction chemistry including reaction pathways, thermodynamic, and kinetic parameters. When addressing the reactivity hazards of any reacting system, the dominan...

using gaussian 03, software the thermodynamic functions such as gibbs free energy, g, enthalpy, h, and entropy, s, of alanine and valine amino acids were theoretically studied at different solvents. first, the density functional theory (b3lyp) level with 3-21g, 6-31g and 6-31+g basis sets were employed to optimization of isolated alanine and valine amino acids in the gas phase. moreover, vib...

A set of 26 compound of the series halogenated Indole-3-Acetic acids as oxidatively activate prodrugs with potential for targeted cancer therapy were subjected to quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis using combination of various electronic, thermodynamic and spatial descriptors. Several statistical regression equations were obtained using multiple regression analysis. QS...

A device is described for studying thermodynamic and surface characteristics of metals as well as for differential thermal analysis of materials. A promise its shown is application for a multiple examination of high-temperature capillarity in a number of technological processes involving the formation or contribution of a liquid phase.

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of Hamiltonian mean-field(HMF) model as a prototypical long-range system by means of the non-extensive thermostatistics. Especially, the quasi-equilibrium state as extremum state of the generalized Tsallis entropy is studied and its thermodynamic stability is analyzed. Based on these analysis, the connection with quasi-stationary behaviors found in th...

MOTIVATION Flux variability analysis (FVA) is an important tool to further analyse the results obtained by flux balance analysis (FBA) on genome-scale metabolic networks. For many constraint-based models, FVA identifies unboundedness of the optimal flux space. This reveals that optimal flux solutions with net flux through internal biochemical loops are feasible, which violates the second law of...

We have earlier reported that both guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)-induced and heat-induced unfolding of seed coat soybean peroxidase (SBP), monitored by far UV CD, show single step transition. However, although GdnHCl-induced unfolding follows a two-state pathway, the heat-induced denaturation proceeds through intermediates as indicated by the very low cooperativity of transition. In the form...

The thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of liquids suggest that they should be powerful working fluids in heat engines. Their use requires heat engines based conceptually on the Stirling and Malone principles. The principles are explained, and then experiments on propylene are presented that demonstrate the principles and confirm the thermodynamic analysis.
