The lifespan entropy generation limit concept suggests that living beings die after generating
a definite amount of lifespan entropy, since their bodies cannot tolerate accumulating more …

The first and second laws of thermodynamics were applied to biochemical reactions typical
of human metabolism. An open-system model was used for a human body. Energy …

This work discusses the relationship between the biological aging and cancer in a unified
approach from the perspective of thermodynamics. Taking calorimetric data from some …

The life span entropy concept suggests that the organisms may have a limited capacity of life
span entropy generation, when they reach to that limit they die. The masseter muscles of a …

Entropy productions within nude subjects in respiration calorimeters are calculated from the
corresponding energetic data obtained by Du Bois et al.(1952, J. Nutr. 48, 257–293.). The …

In living systems, entropy is generated as the result of the metabolic activity, most of it is
exported, while only a small fraction is accumulated. Accumulation reveals itself as structural …

The first and second laws of thermodynamic were applied to statistical databases on
nutrition and human growth in order to estimate the entropy generation over the human …

Entropy, which is a thermodynamic property or an interpretation of the second law of
thermodynamics, was first defined in 1865 by the German physicist Rudolph Clausius [1]. It …

The main objective of this study is to show a method for calculating entropy generation
(Sgen) in a human body under various environmental and physiological conditions. The …

Organisms uptake energy from their diet and maintain a highly organized structure by
importing energy and exporting entropy. A fraction of the generated entropy is accumulated …
