Active transport: A kinetic description based on thermodynamic grounds
S. Kjelstrup, J. M. Rubi, D. Bedeaux
We show that active transport processes in biological systems can be understood through a local equilibrium description formulated at the mesoscale, the scale to describe stochasti…

Collective behavior in the system of self propelling particles with nonholonomic constraints
V. L. Kulinskii, V. I. Ratushnaya, A. V. Zvelindovsky +1
We consider the dynamics of systems of self propelling particles with nonholonomic constraints. A continuum model for a discrete algorithm used in works by T. Vicsek et al. is prop…

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Colloids
D. Bedeaux, J. M. Rubi
The common rules of classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics do not allow an Onsager coefficient like the viscosity to depend on the shear rate. Such a dependence is experimentally…
