Role of thermodynamics in extensions of mesoscopic dynamical theories

Complex macroscopic systems (like for instance those encountered in nanotechnology and biology) need to be investigated in a family of mesoscopic theories involving varying amount of details. In this paper we formulate a general thermodynamics providing a universal framework for such multiscale view...
