the thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy (h), gibbs free energy (g) and entropy (s) of serineand threonine amino acids were theoretically studied at different condition (solvents andtemperatures) by using gussian o3, software. first, the structural optimization of isolated serine andthreonine were done in the gas phase by using the hartree-fock (hf) level of theory with 3-21g, 6-31g and 6-3...

Methods for efficiently estimating Shannon entropy of data streams have important applications in learning, data mining, and network anomaly detections (e.g., the DDoS attacks). For nonnegative data streams, the method of Compressed Counting (CC) [11, 13] based on maximally-skewed stable random projections can provide accurate estimates of the Shannon entropy using small storage. However, CC is...

The aim of this note is to connect a reversed form of the Gross logarithmic Sobolev inequality with the Gaussian maximum of Shannon’s entropy power. There is thus a complete parallel with the well-known link between logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and their information theoretic counterparts. We moreover provide an elementary proof of the reversed Gross inequality via a two-point inequality an...

It is shown that the thermodynamic maximum-entropy principle predicts negative specific heat for a stationary, magnetically self-confined current-carrying plasma torus. Implications for the magnetic self-confinement of fusion plasma are considered.

In a previous work (M. Campisi. Stud. Hist. Phil. M. P. 36 (2005) 275-290) we have addressed the mechanical foundations of equilibrium thermodynamics on the basis of the Generalized Helmholtz Theorem. It was found that the volume entropy provides a good mechanical analogue of thermodynamic entropy because it satisfies the heat theorem and it is an adiabatic invariant. This property explains the...

We introduce an entropy of the form −Tr(ρnlogρ) to investigate quantum mechanical properties, like entanglement, for mixed states. We compare it to other quantum entropies where the power of the density matrix has been used to obtain more information than the Von Neumann entropy. We discuss both the pure state case and the mixed state case (Werner state) with special regard to separability. The...

An ensemble of axisymmetric model experiments with simplified physics is used to evaluate the diagnostic framework presented in Part I. The central piece of the framework is understanding what causes decreases in the ratio of bulk differences of moist entropy over differences of angular momentum between two defined regions, the boundary between the two demarcating the approximate location of th...

The present study carefully examined entropy generation during wustite pellet reduction to sponge iron. The finite volume method was used to solve the governing equations. The grain model was used to simulate the reaction rate. The reactant gases including carbon monoxide and hydrogen were converted to water and carbon dioxide after wustite reduction. Entropy is generated by heat transfer, mass...

congestive heart failure (chf) remains to be one of the major cardiovascular disorders in the world. due to the prevalence of chf related issues, it is prudent to seek out new prognostic predictors that would facilitate the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of the disease on a daily basis. a detection approach using entropy measures extracted from surface electrocardiograms (ecgs) and class...

In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...
