Statistical mechanics provides a rigorous framework for understanding how the collective behaviour of microscopic constituents gives rise to macroscopic phenomena. This discipline underpins our ...
The analysis of Ising models continues to provide deep insights into the phenomena of phase transitions and critical behaviour in statistical mechanics. In particular, the study of finite-size scaling ...
Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839–1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...
The Monist, Vol. 102, No. 4, General Topic: Philosophy of Probability (October, 2019), pp. 424-438 (15 pages) There are two theoretical approaches in statistical mechanics, one associated with ...
Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...
Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...
If I roll a pair of dice and you get to bet on one number, what do you choose? The smart choice is 7 because there are more ways for 2 dice to come up 7 than any other number. Well, it turns out that ...
Statistical mechanics is the application of statistics, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles ...
