Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

An explanation of the mechanism of irreversible dynamics in systems with mixing is offered. The procedure of splitting a system into subsystems in equilibrium and studying the dynamics of one of them as it interacts with the other subsystems is the basis of the approach to the analysis of nonequilibrium systems. The problem of `coarse-grain' dynamics is used. The `coarse-grain' problem on the phase space is eliminated with this method. The formula, that expresses the entropy through the work of forces between systems, is submitted. The essential link between thermodynamics and classical mechanics was found.
