Generalized Entropy Concentration for Counts
We consider the phenomenon of entropy concentration under linear constraints in a discrete setting, using the “balls and bins” paradigm, but without the assumption that the number of balls allocated to the bins is known. Therefore instead of frequency vectors and ordinary entropy, we have count vectors with unknown sum, and a certain generalized entropy. We show that if the constraints bound th...
متن کاملFASTLANE: Streamlining Transactions for Low Thread Counts
Software transactional memory (STM) can lead to scalable implementations of concurrent programs, as the relative performance of an application increases with the number of threads that support it. However, the absolute performance is typically impaired by the overheads of transaction management and instrumented accesses to shared memory. This often leads STM-based programs with low thread count...
متن کاملWhen are readership counts as useful as citation counts? Scopus versus Mendeley for LIS journals
In theory, articles can attract readers in the social reference sharing site Mendeley before they can attract citations and so Mendeley altmetrics could provide early indications of article impact. This article investigates the influence of time on the number of Mendeley readers of an article through a theoretical discussion and an investigation into the relationship between counts of readers o...
متن کاملVariation of Muon Counts Versus Solar Time
Project GRAND observes small variations in the number of incident muons when plotted versus local solar time. The total accumulated number of muons by GRAND over four years’ time is 140 billion. The data obtained by Project GRAND are compared with data from neutron monitor stations at Climax and at Newark which detect secondary neutrons. Project GRAND is an array of 64 proportional wire chamber...
متن کاملCounts of Low-redshift SDSS Quasar Candidates
We analyze the counts of low-redshift quasar candidates selected using nine-epoch SDSS imaging data. The co-added catalogs are more than 1 mag deeper than single-epoch SDSS data, and allow the selection of low-redshift quasar candidates using UV-excess and also variability techniques. The counts of selected candidates are robustly determined down to g=21.5. This is about 2 magnitudes deeper tha...
