Abstract

Continuation of activities in the area of Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics dealing with fundamentals and methods, as well as the development of an Irreversible Statistical Thermodynamics and a Generalized Hydrodynamics (referred-to as Mesoscopic Hydro-Thermodynamics). Special emphasis is given to relevant applications in Science, Technology and Innovation (Electronics, Optoelectronics, Polymers Technology, Fluid Under Flow, etc.). (AU)
