But it says nothing about their actual rates or the probability of fluctuations about the average. This interdisciplinary book, written and peer-reviewed by international experts, presents recent advances in the search for new non-equilibrium principles beyond the Second Law, and their applications to a wide range of systems across physics, chemistry and biology. Beyond The Second Law brings together traditionally isolated areas of non-equilibrium research and highlights potentially fruitful connections between them, with entropy production playing the unifying role. Key theoretical concepts include the Maximum Entropy Production principle, the Fluctuation Theorem, and the Maximum Entropy method of statistical inference. Applications of these principles are illustrated in such diverse fields as climatology, cosmology, crystal growth morphology, Earth system science, environmental physics, evolutionary biology and technology, fluid turbulence, microbial biogeochemistry, plasma physics, and radiative transport, using a wide variety of analytical and experimental techniques. Beyond The Second Law will appeal to students and researchers wishing to gain an understanding of entropy production and its central place in the science of non-equilibrium systems ? both in detail and in terms of the bigger picture. 410 0$aUnderstanding Complex Systems,$x1860-0832 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 606 $aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33020 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 14$aComplexity. 615 24$aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory. 676 $a620 702 $aDewar$b Roderick C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLineweaver$b Charles H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNiven$b Robert K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRegenauer-Lieb$b Klaus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299735603321 996 $aBeyond the Second Law$92294341 997 $aUNINA
