Two recent studies, by Molet et al. (2016) and Davis et al. (in press) with rats and humans, support the hypothesis that the predictability of maternal signals influences cognitive and emotional development. Both studies use a measure of entropy rate to characterize predictability of maternal sensory signals. This document describes the common cross-species approach in which maternal sensory si...

Analysis of entropy generation rate for transient heat conduction, taking place in homogeneous solid slab with fixed temperature boundary conditions, is presented. The initial condition is defined as a constant temperature. The exact solution is solved and used to analyze the local and total entropy generation rates. Two cases, heating and cooling processes, are considered in this study. It is ...

Abstract We study the multiplicative version of classical Furstenberg’s filtering problem, where instead sum $$\textbf{X}+\textbf{Y}$$ X+Y one considers product $$\textbf{X}\cdot \textbf{Y}$$ xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">...

conclusions the loss of hrc at the onset of admission may predict mortality in patients with blunt trauma. lower entropy, in recently admitted patients with intra-abdominal bleeding, may indicate laparotomy when the vital signs are stable. background nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (hrv) has been recently used as a predictor of prognosis in trauma patients. objectives we applied no...
