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

A new concept, D-entropy, is introduced to define the changes in the internal energy of systems moving in non-uniform external force fields. D-entropy is defined solely in terms of the system's dynamic parameters, specifically as the ratio of the change in internal energy to its total internal energy. It arises from the equation of motion for structured bodies, which accounts for the work done by external forces that not only alter the body's motion but also modify its internal state. The uniqueness of D-entropy lies in its applicability to both mechanics and thermodynamics, enabling the analysis of evolutionary processes within the framework of physical laws. Kinetic energy and D-entropy are identified as key parameters in the evolution of systems.
