Measuring disorder in irreversible decay processes.

چکیده
Rate coefficients can fluctuate in statically and dynamically disordered kinetics. Here, we relate the rate coefficient for an irreversibly decaying population to the Fisher information. From this relationship we define kinetic versions of statistical-length squared and divergence that measure cumulative fluctuations in the rate coefficient. We show the difference between these kinetic quantities measures the amount of disorder, and is zero when the rate coefficient is temporally and spatially unique.

The Apollonian Decay of Beer Foam Bubble Size Distribution and the Lattices of Young Diagrams and Their Correlated Mixing Functions
We present different methods to characterise the decay of beer foam by measuring the foam heights and recording foam images as a function of time. It turns out that the foam decay does not follow a simple exponential law but a higher-order equation lnV(t) = a− bt− ct2.5, which can be explained as a superposition of two processes, that is, drainage and bubble rearrangement. The reorganisation of...
متن کاملOrder and disorder in irreversible decay processes.
Dynamical disorder motivates fluctuating rate coefficients in phenomenological, mass-action rate equations. The reaction order in these rate equations is the fixed exponent controlling the dependence of the rate on the number of species. Here, we clarify the relationship between these notions of (dis)order in irreversible decay, n A → B, n = 1, 2, 3, …, by extending a theoretical measure of flu...
متن کاملQuantifying Fine-Root Decomposition: An Alternative to Buried Litterbags
Our understanding of fine-root decay processes is derived almost exclusively from litterbag studies. However, preparation of roots for litterbag studies and their subsequent decay within litterbags represent major departures from in situ conditions. We hypothesized that litterbag studies misrepresent fine-root decay and nutrient release rates during decomposition. To test these hypotheses we de...
متن کاملReductive evolution of resident genomes.
Small, asexual populations are expected to accumulate deleterious substitutions and deletions in an irreversible manner, which in the long-term will lead to mutational meltdown and genome decay. Here, we discuss the influence of such reductive processes on the evolution of genomes that replicate within the domain of a host genome.

In this research, we are going to study the QCD penguin structure and calculate the second order approximation. The amplitude of decays related to QCD penguin in the quark model up to the first and second orders were calculated. We calculated the amplitude of QCD penguin on lowest order of αs for the first order of the decay processes b→qkg→qkqiqj and for the second order of the decay processes...
