A New Look at the Classical Entropy of Written English

A simple method for finding the entropy and redundancy of a reasonable long sample of English text by direct computer processing and from first principles according to Shannon theory is presented. As an example, results on the entropy of the English language have been obtained based on a total of 20.3 million characters of written English, considering symbols from one to five hundred characters...

A new look at entropy for solving linear inverse problems

Entropy-based methods are widely used for solving inverse problems, particularly when the solution is known to be positive. Here, we address linear ill-posed and noisy inverse problems of the form z = Ax+ n with a general convex constraint x 2 X , where X is a convex set. Although projective methods are well adapted to this context, we study alternative methods which rely highly on some “inform...

The entropy of the life table: A reappraisal.

The life table entropy provides useful information for understanding improvements in mortality and survival in a population. In this paper we take a closer look at the life table entropy and use advanced mathematical methods to provide additional insights for understanding how it relates to changes in mortality and survival. By studying the entropy (H) as a functional, we show that changes in t...

A look at life from the homeodomain

Introduction This workshop brought together developmental biologists and oncologists for three intense days of discussions about the recent progress that has been made on the roles of homeodomain proteins in development, haematopoiesis and leukaemogenesis. The homeo-domain is a 61-amino-acid DNA-binding motif with specific sequence and structural characteristics (Gehring & Hiromi, 1986). Homeod...
