the estimate of entropy (sample entropy), has been introduced by vasicek (1976), for the first time. in this paper, we provide an estimate of entropy of order statistics, that is the extention of the entropy estimate. then we present an application of the entropy estimate of order statistics as a test statistic for symmetry of distribution versus skewness. the proposed test has been compared wi...

A proper counting of states for black holes in the quantum geometry approach shows that the dominant configuration for spins are distributions that include spins exceeding one-half at the punctures. This raises the value of the Immirzi parameter and the black hole entropy. However, the coefficient of the logarithmic correction remains -1/2 as before. The quantum geometry approach to a quantum t...

This paper describes a fast, low-complexity, entropy efficient coder for wavelet pyramids. This coder approaches the entropy-limited coding rate of video wavelet pyramids, is fast in both hardware and software implementations, and has low complexity (no multiplies) for use in ASIC’s. It consists of a modified Z-coder used to code the zero/non-zero significance function without adaptation. The w...

Phacoemulsification is a common surgical method for treating advanced cataracts. Determining the optimal phacoemulsification energy depends on the hardness of the lens involved. Previous studies have shown that it is possible to evaluate lens hardness via ultrasound parametric imaging based on statistical models that require data to follow a specific distribution. To make the method more system...

Automated fiber placement (AFP) process includes a variety of energy forms and multi-scale effects. This contribution proposes a novel multi-scale low-entropy method aiming at optimizing processing parameters in an AFP process, where multi-scale effect, energy consumption, energy utilization efficiency and mechanical properties of micro-system could be taken into account synthetically. Taking a...

If each node of an idealized network has an equal capacity to efficiently exchange benefits, then the network’s capacity to use energy is scaled by the average amount of energy required to connect any two of its nodes. The scaling factor equals e, and the network’s entropy is ln(n). Networking emerges in consequence of nodes minimizing the ratio of their energy use to the benefits obtained for ...

Abstract To solve the problem that link prediction method based on local information ignores influence of neighbor structure similarity measurement nodes, a relative entropy and nodes is proposed. Firstly, second-order network introduced to describe nodes; then, structural between described by redefining entropy; finally, measured entropy, index node proposed considering neighbor. Experimental ...

As various property studies continue to emerge on high entropy and entropy-stabilized ceramics, we seek a further understanding of the changes across phase boundary between “high-entropy” “entropy-stabilized” phases. The thermal mechanical properties bulk ceramic stabilized oxide composition Mg 0.2 Co Ni Cu Zn O are investigated this critical transition temperature via transient plane-source me...

Recent observations show Heand N-enhancements in fast rotating O-type stars, while studies on shear mixing in rotating stars have shown that the μ-gradients generally inhibit mixing processes. However, these studies (including ours) ignored the other sources of turbulence, such as semiconvection and horizontal turbulence, which may be present in the medium and may modify the onset of shear mixi...
