We derive entropic Bell inequalities from considering entropy Venn diagrams. These entropic inequalities, akin to the Braunstein-Caves inequalities, are violated for a quantum mechanical EinsteinPodolsky-Rosen pair, which implies that the conditional entropies of Bell variables must be negative in this case. This suggests that the satisfaction of entropic Bell inequalities is equivalent to the ...

Despite our recent commentary on the article by Resende and Weber, the authors still seem to believe that Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842) himself was affected by facial paralysis. They came to this erroneous conclusion from a paper by Jongkees and by “neurological examination of the photograph of Sir Charles Bell” (Fig 1). However, had they taken the effort to check Jongkees’ German translation wi...

Tim Tully recently gave a fascinating account of his mission to Russia to find the names of Pavlov’s dogs [1]. Unfortunately, his essay perpetuates one of the most enduring myths in science: that Pavlov routinely used a bell in training salivary conditioning in dogs. Tully says: “For several repetitions, Pavlov would ring a bell just before giving food to a hungry dog. Before long, he noticed, ...

The performance of current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems deteriorates severely in mismatched training and testing conditions. Signal processing techniques based on the human auditory system have been proposed to improve ASR performance, especially under adverse acoustic conditions. This thesis compares one such scheme, the Ensemble Interval Histogram (EIH), with the conventional me...

two hundred and twenty-eight patients who had developed bell's palsy were investigated in a prospective study. among them, 55% were male and 45% were female. the most common age of the disease onset was the third and beginning of the fourth decade of life. we found definite correlation between bell's palsy, hypertension, and diabetes its recurrence rate was 9%. the most important comp...
