Portées théoriques et incarnations des valeurs épistémiques et ontologiques de la durabilité forte dans les politiques environnementales

Caroline Lejeune • Développement Durable et Territoires (2019)

Strong sustainability is a concept that originates from the fields of ecological economics and environmental ethics. The pragmatist currents of environmental ethics and ecological economics have deepened what could be a conception of sustai...

Hornification in Commercial Chemical Pulps: Dependence on Water Removal and Hornification Mechanisms

Björn Sjöstrand, Carl-Anton Karlsson, Christophe Barbier, Gunnar Henriksson • BioResources (2023)

Understanding cellulose hornification provides crucial information regarding drying of pulp, paper, and other cellulosic materials as well as recycling them. By measuring drainage, fiber width, and water retention value of hardwood and soft...

Impossibility of universal work extraction from coherence: reconciling axiomatic and resource-theory approaches

Samuel Plesnik, Maria Violaris • New Journal of Physics (2024)

We compare how the impossibility of a universal work extractor from coherence arises from different approaches to quantum thermodynamics: an explicit protocol accounting for all relevant quantum resources, and axiomatic, information-theoret...

A Rechargeable Zinc–Copper Voltaic Battery Built from Cost-Effective Electrodes and Electrolytes

Jose Fernando Florez Gomez, Songyang Chang, Irfan Ullah, Juan C. Velez Reyes et al. • Batteries (2026)

The zinc–copper (Zn-Cu) voltaic battery is the first battery made in human history, but the Cu2+ dissolution issue leads to the reaction’s irreversibility. To tackle this challenge, solid-state electrolytes, ion exchange membranes, and func...

An assessment of the mathematical model for estimating of entropy optimized viscous fluid flow towards a rotating cone surface

Yong-Min Li, M. Ijaz Khan, Sohail A. Khan, Sami Ullah Khan et al. • Scientific Reports (2021)

Abstract Entropy optimization in convective viscous fluids flow due to a rotating cone is explored. Heat expression with heat source/sink and dissipation is considered. Irreversibility with binary chemical reaction is also deliberated. Nonl...

The avifauna of Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu along the Southeast coast of India: waterbird assessments and conservation implications across key sanctuaries and Ramsar sites

Hameed Byju, Hegde Maitreyi, Raveendran Natarajan, Reshmi Vijayan et al. • PeerJ (2025)

Background Wetlands, globally, face significant threats from human activities, and waterbirds, as key indicators of wetland health, are essential to maintaining ecological balance. Any long-term conservation measures should prioritize coord...

Lessons from the Chemical Weapons Convention Negotiations and Implementation for the Diplomatic Challenges of Negotiating ‘Irreversibility’

John Walker • Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament (2024)

Negotiating an international disarmament treaty that has as one of its core requirements the concept of “irreversibility” will be a major task, especially so if the aim is to ensure that nuclear weapons and the means of their production and...

Dissipation and irreversibility in computing

David K Ferry, Wolfgang Porod • Materials Research Express (2023)

There has been much discussion for decades over the proper concepts of minimum dissipation per logic gate and what is required for computation, as well as early arguments over logically reversible machines. Here these arguments, and the the...

An intelligent machine learning paradigm for gyrotactic micro-organism-induced squeezing flow of Eyring–Powell hybrid nanofluids with entropy generation

A. Imran, Muna Elsadig, Jongsuk Ro • AIP Advances (2026)

A novel unsteady squeezing flow of a non-Newtonian ternary hybrid nanofluid is investigated by focusing Eyring–Powell fluid rheology in an infinite channel. The nanofluid consists of AA1072, AA1075, and ZrO2 nanoparticles suspended in blood...
