The thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy, H°, Gibbs free energy, G°, and entropy, S°, of Arginine and Lysine amino acids were theoretically studied at different polar solvents by using ²Gaussian o3², software. First, the structural optimization of isolated Arginine and Lysine were done in the gas phase by applying the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level ...

Statistical Energy Analysis is a statistical method in vibroacoustics entirely based on the application of energy balance that is the first principle of thermodynamics. In this study, the definition of vibrational entropy is introduced for sub-systems containing energy and modes. The rate of entropy production at interfaces between sub-systems is also derived. Finally, in steady-state condition...

One of the most appealing heuristic devices for unders tanding when a phase transition will take place is to consider the balance of energy versus entropy. Probably the simplest example is the well-known (9'27) heuristic a rgument for the absence of phase transitions in one-dimensional systems with short-range forces: Suppose that there were two distinct phases with the same bulk free energy. T...

This paper considers the problem of estimating the power consumption at logic and register transfer levels of design from an information theoretical point of view. In particular, it is demonstrated that the average switching activity in the circuit can be calculated using either entropy or informational energy averages. For control circuits and random logic, the output entropy (informational en...

Entropy is a concept that was derived in the nineteenth century during the study of thermodynamic systems. Entropy exists in all systems, nonliving and living, that possess free energy for doing work. As system energy declines, entropy increases. Entropy has precise mathematical and statistical definitions, but can be approximately defined as the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system. I...

Using Gaussian 03, software the thermodynamic functions such as Gibbs free energy, G, Enthalpy, H, and Entropy, S, of Alanine and Valine amino acids were theoretically studied at different solvents. First, the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level with 3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31+G basis sets were employed to optimization of isolated Alanine and Valine amino acids in the gas phase. Moreover, Vib...
