Structuring Information and Entropy: Catalyst as Information Carrier
Many authors tried to exploit the similarities between expressions of the statistical thermodynamics for the entropy and those of Shannon's information theory. In a new approach, we highlight the role of information involved in chemical systems, in particular in the interaction between catalysts and reactants, what we call structuring information. By means of examples, we present some applicati...
متن کاملentropy, negentropy, and information
evaluation criteria for different versions of the same database the concept of information, during its development, is connected to the concept of entropy created by the 19th century termodynamics scholars. information means, in this view point, order or negentropy. on the other hand, entropy is connected to the concepts as chaos and noise, which cause, in turn, disorder. in the present paper, ...
متن کاملLight as an information carrier underwater
Light is a source of both energy and information for the biota. The spatial, temporal and spectral variability of light experienced by marine phytoplankton differs significantly from that experienced by terrestrial plants, due to the selective attenuation of solar irradiance in the aquatic medium. In the present study we analysed such variability and focused, in particular, on those bands withi...
متن کاملInformation entropy as an anthropomorphic concept
According to E.T. Jaynes and E.P. Wigner, entropy is an anthropomorphic concept in the sense that in a physical system correspond many thermodynamic systems. The physical system can be examined from many points of view each time examining different variables and calculating entropy differently. In this paper we discuss how this concept may be applied in information entropy; how Shannon’s defini...
متن کاملInformation Theory 4.1 Entropy and Mutual Information
Neural encoding and decoding focus on the question: " What does the response of a neuron tell us about a stimulus ". In this chapter we consider a related but different question: " How much does the neural response tell us about a stimulus ". The techniques of information theory allow us to answer this question in a quantitative manner. Furthermore, we can use them to ask what forms of neural r...
