The fundamental thermodynamic bounds on finite models

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Fundamental Bounds on Edge Detection : An Information

We treat the problem of edge detection as one of statistical inference. Local edge cues, implemented by lters, provide information about the likely positions of edges which can be used as input to higher-level models. Diierent edge cues can be evaluated by the statistical eeectiveness of their corresponding lters evaluated on a dataset of 100 pre-segmented images. We use information theoretic m...

Fundamental Bounds on Radio Localization Precision in the Far Field

This paper experimentally and theoretically investigates the fundamental bounds on radio localization precision of far-field Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements. RSS measurements are proportional to power-flow measurements time-averaged over periods long compared to the coherence time of the radiation. Our experiments are performed in a novel localization setup using 2.4GHz quasi-monoch...

Fundamental limitations on plasma fusion systems not in thermodynamic equilibrium

Optimal diabatic bases via thermodynamic bounds.

Describing kinetic processes within a perturbation theory approach such as Fermi's golden rule requires an understanding of the initial and final states of the system. A number of different methods have been proposed for obtaining these diabatic-like states, but a robust criterion for evaluating their accuracy has not been established. Here, we approach the problem of determining the most appro...
