ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors selection papers published in Journal Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Shannon McMahon author on ‘DNAJB chaperones suppress destabilised protein aggregation via region distinct from that used to inhibit amyloidogenesis’, JCS. PhD student lab Heath Ecroyd at Molecular H...

Based on the local Shannon entropy concept in information theory, a new measure of aromaticity is introduced. This index, which describes the probability of electronic charge distribution between atoms in a given ring, is called Shannon aromaticity (SA). Using B3LYP method and different basis sets (6-31G**, 6-31+G** and 6-311++G**), the SA values of some five-membered heterocycles, C(4)H(4)X, a...

Shannon wavelets are used to define a method for the solution of integrodifferential equations. This method is based on 1 the Galerking method, 2 the Shannon wavelet representation, 3 the decorrelation of the generalized Shannon sampling theorem, and 4 the definition of connection coefficients. The Shannon sampling theorem is considered in a more general approach suitable for analysing function...

Image Segmentation plays an important role in medical field that enable professionals to detect their patient’s problems and help them to get proper diagnosed. In this article, an entropy based approach for image segmentation is discussed to highlight tumor in MRI images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging, in which pixel values are based on radiation absorption. In the proposed app...

In actual application, sensors are prone to failure because of harsh environments, battery drain, and sensor aging. Sensor fault location is an important step for follow-up sensor fault detection. In this paper, two new multi-level wavelet Shannon entropies (multi-level wavelet time Shannon entropy and multi-level wavelet time-energy Shannon entropy) are defined. They take full advantage of sen...
