Crossroad of Maxwell Demon


Book Description

Written by leading experts in this field, this proceedings volume originates from a workshop held in Toulouse on March 1–2, 2023, organized by the ESIM European project (Energy Storage Inside Molecule(s)). The book explores the intersection and convergence of various perspectives, disciplines, and research areas related to a modern version of the Maxwell demon at the nanoscale. It presents interdisciplinary perspectives on topics such as intramolecular thermodynamics and single molecule motive power and overviews the realm of single objects, be it atoms or molecules, while also emphasizing on theoretical and experimental approaches, with or without the presence of supporting surfaces. Notably, this comprehensive collection represents the first instance where such intertwined contributions on diverse versions of the Maxwell demon are discussed within the context of the nanoscale. It is of great use to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers who are interested in single molecule mechanics.

Maxwell's Demon


Book Description

Alan Roderick, born in 1831 on the estate of James Maxwell's parents, is a childhood friend and school mate of James. In 1849 Alan takes off for California. James becomes a great scientist. Alan, changing his name to Damon Maxwell, becomes a great adventurer. Living through the gold rush and a year of outlawing with Joaquin Murrieta, Damon has established himself as a prosperous and respected member of the San Francisco community. He has a new life and a new love. It is then he learns, from his 200 year old great-great-great-grandfather about their little family secret. They can't grow old and die. They can be killed, though, which is what some old outlaw friends are trying to do. Damon is introduced to all the problems of immortality. The lady you love grows old and you don't. The enemies you've made can deny your immortality if you don't first grant them their mortality. What actions do you have to take to live forever. Lies? Killing? Is is all worth it? Grandpa and an old friend from Scotland help him figure it out, at least this once.




The Demons of Science


Book Description

This book is the first all-encompassing exploration of the role of demons in philosophical and scientific thought experiments. In Part I, the author explains the importance of thought experiments in science and philosophy. Part II considers Laplace’s Demon, whose claim is that the world is completely deterministic. Part III introduces Maxwell’s Demon, who - by contrast - experiences a world that is probabilistic and indeterministic. Part IV explores Nietzsche’s thesis of the cyclic and eternal recurrence of events. In each case a number of philosophical consequences regarding determinism and indeterminism, the arrows of time, the nature of the mind and free will are said to follow from the Demons’s worldviews. The book investigates what these Demons - and others - can and cannot tell us about our world.




Social Media Marketing


Book Description

Preface Social media marking has been heralded as a sea change in the market- consumer relationship, but its rapid growth and rabid following among m- keters has also produced a sea of confusion. Lacking any durable framework for understanding how, why, and on what terms the consumer relationship has changed under social media, marketers pursue new venues for their newness alone – with decidedly mixed results. This book finds a theoretical framework for social media marketing in the science of game theory, with its focus on adversarial but mutually dependent relationships. Originally developed to guide nuclear brinksmanship policy during the Cold War, game theory provides the foundation for an evoluti- ary view of social media marketing. Through fascinating game theory c- cepts like the Prisoner’s Dilemma, the Stag Hunt, Self-Command, and Job Market Signaling, this study uncovers the cooperative trends that brought marketing to its present state and points the way toward marketing’s future course.
