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, ...

the second law of thermodynamic (entropy principle) is of special theo-philosophical importance. it seems that this law, which is renowned as “the death of software design” and despite the order in the world, is like an incompatible universal. this article examines the concept of entropy in the three temperature, statistic, and information applications and addresses the contradiction of the sec...

The purpose of this study is to define the concepts of Tsallis entropy and conditional Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions and to obtain some results concerning this kind entropy. We show that the Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions has the subadditivity and concavity properties. We study this information measure under the refinement and zero mode subset relations. We check the chain rules for ...

the polarimetric entropy and the alpha angle are two important parameters for analyzing polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data. they demonstrate the degree of randomness in the polarization of the received signal and scattering mechanism of scatterers respectively. recently, there has been an increasing interest in compact polarimetry due to its advantages in comparison with full polarimetr...

purpose: this study aimed to measure the information load of words in farsi scientific texts and determine the relationship between some properties of the words and information load of the texts based on shannon entropy. methodology: the study was conducted based on the content analysis of a number of 320 articles that were published in scientific-research iranian journals in 2009. and the arti...

introduction the chemical characteristic of groundwater as a major source of water supply for human life is an important factor in determining the usage of it for agriculture, industry and drinking. useful techniques and different methods of studying the chemical composition of groundwater such as correlation coefficient, descriptive statistics, factor analysis and cluster analysis provide an u...
