the present study has been carried out with the aim of content analysis (ca) of newly-preparedtextbooks for social studies and science of the sixth grade based on the three environment education grounds, i.e.ecology, environment, and human activity. it is of caand descriptive nature. the statistical population was all thesixth grade textbooks pages and the statistical sample was equal to the st...

introduction: medical tourism is currently accepted as a developing industry. it describes the act of leaving home for treatment and care abroad. there are several factors that influence choice of destination for patients in medical tourism. identification of these factors and prioritization according to importance weights could help international healthcare providers develop their marketing st...

This memo contains proofs that the Shannon entropy is the limiting case of both the Renyi entropy and the Tsallis entropy, or information. These results are also confirmed experimentally. We conclude with some general observations on the utility of entropy measures. A brief summary of the origins of the concept of physical entropy are provided in an appendix.

An axiomatization of the concept of entropy of a discrete Choquet capacity is given. It is based on three axioms: the symmetry property, a boundary condition for which the entropy reduces to the classical Shannon entropy, and a generalized version of the well-known recursivity property. This entropy, recently introduced to extend the Shannon entropy to nonadditive measures, fulfills several pro...

Shannon entropy H and related measures are increasingly used in molecular ecology and population genetics because (1) unlike measures based on heterozygosity or allele number, these measures weigh alleles in proportion to their population fraction, thus capturing a previously-ignored aspect of allele frequency distributions that may be important in many applications; (2) these measures connect ...

Hyperspectral band image selection is a fundamental problem for hyperspectral remote sensing data processing. Accepting its importance, several information-based band selection methods have been proposed, which apply Shannon entropy to measure image information. However, the Shannon entropy is not accurate in measuring image information since it neglects the spatial distribution of pixels and i...

A relation between Shannon entropy and Kerridge inaccuracy, which is known as Shannon inequality, is well known in information theory. In this communication, first we generalized Shannon inequality and then given its application in coding theory.

This paper is concerned with the estimation of state trajectory of linear discrete time dynamic systems subject to parametric uncertainty over the compound erasure channel that uses feedback channel intermittently. For this combined system and channel, using the data processing inequality and a robust version of the Shannon lower bound, a necessary condition on channel capacity for estimation o...
