THE EFFECT OF THE NEGATIVE ENTROPY FLOW ON THE ORGANIZATION OF ATMOSPHERIC DISSIPATIVE STRUCTURES IN NON-EQUILIBRIUM CONDITIONS

The entropy balance equation that describes the entropy budget of atmospheric systems is derived from the Gibbs relation.The distribution of the entropy flows of a west-Pacific typhoon and a Bengal-Bay cyclone is calculated and thus the dissipativity of the atmospheric systems is revealed.

Making Drug Discovery More Efficient Applying Statistical Entropy to Biology

Biology without governing principle makes predications impossible. Observations lead to some successful therapies, and to unexpected failures. Erwin Schrödinger attempted to quantify biology with the concept of negative entropy. These insights lead to fundamental principles of biologic entropy. The quantification of negative entropy is difficult to calculate since the number of parts of the body and the way these parts are arranged is very large (atomistic disorder). There can be approximations that answer questions such as why females live longer, and why a lower body temperature predicts longevity. This concept can reveal the culprit of diabetes II;understanding the microbiome can reduce its entropy by increasing the entropy of its host. The real advantage of statistical entropy is finding new drugs and predicting viral mutations based on energetics and negative entropy. The misfolding of a protein will increase the entropy of an individual with the result of early death. The calculations of biologic entropy require the knowledge of each developmental step, and the statistical possibilities of the next step. If the step is crucial to maintain low entropy, a carrier protein will assure the energetics of the step is favorable. This protein is the target of new therapies.

Biopolymer Entering into and Escaping from a Nanometer Pore

We theoretically investigated negative entropy S of biopolymer which passes through a nanometer pore（such as a-hemolysin）, especially entering process and escaping process, on the basis of which we also studied biopolymer entering-pore time rent, biopolymer entering mean velocity Vent, biopolymer escaping-pore time resc, and biopolymer escaping mean velocity vesc, respectively. Our results illustrate that the entering and escaping processes of biopolymer depend on its negative entropy, and entering process is more difficult than escaping process for biopolymer translocation. This tremendous difference between the two processes will offer a useful engineering hint for single macromolecule identification.

ALow-order Model of Two-dimensional Fluid Dynamics on the Surface of a Sphere

Without any other approximations apart from the spectral method which is employed,the energy spectra corresponding to two kinds of'negative temperatures'are simulated with a symmetric trapezium truncation.The simulated results with either of the two negative temperatures are reasonably consistent with those from the statistical theory of turbulence.The more usual case for two positive temperatures evolves differently from the theoretical prediction.The viscosity influence on the ergodicity is discussed. It is shown that two--dimensional(2D)ideal flows on thesphere have a less pronounced tendency to be ergodic than those on planar geometry due to the curvature of thespherical surface that weakens the interaction between different parts of the flow,enabling these parts to behave inmore relative isolation. The expressions for the standard deviations from a canonical ensemble for the two differentoptions of coefficients are shown to be proportional to in(N is the total number of independent modes in the system),independent of the initial conditions of the system.
