Lactic fermentation and respiration are important metabolic pathways on which life is based. Here, the rate of entropy in a cell associated to fermentation and respiration processes in glucose catabolism of living systems is calculated. This is done for both internal and external heat and matter transport according to a thermodynamic approach based on Prigogine’s formalism. It is shown that the...

natural convection heat transfer has many applications in different fields of industry; such as cooling industries, electronic transformer devices and ventilation equipment; due to simple process, economic advantage, low noise and renewed retrieval. recently, heat transfer of nanofluids have been considered because of higher thermal conductivity coefficient compared with those of ordinary fluid...

the thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy (h), gibbs free energy (g) and entropy (s) ofpyrazole was theoretically studied at 5 different temperatures 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45°c by usinggussian o3, software. first, the structural optimization of isolated pyrazole was done in the gas phaseby appling the density functional theory (b3lyp) level with 3-21g, 6-31g and 6-31+g(d) basissets. moreover, v...

This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain   risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...

An extension of the entropy power inequality to the form N r (X +Y ) ≥ N r (X) +N r (Y ) with arbitrary independent summands X and Y in R is obtained for the Rényi entropy and powers α ≥ (r + 1)/2.

We introduce a new family of continuous models called the beta odd log-logistic generalized family of distributions. We study some of its mathematical properties. Its density function can be symmetrical, left-skewed, right-skewed, reversed-J, unimodal and bimodal shaped, and has constant, increasing, decreasing, upside-down bathtub and J-shaped hazard rates. Five special models are discussed. W...

It is often stated in papers tackling the task of selecting a Bayesian network structure from data that there are these two distinct approaches: (i) Apply conditional indepen­ dence tests . when testing for the presence or otherwise of edges; (ii) Search the model space using a scoring metric. Here I argue that for complete data and a given node ordering this division is largely a myth, by show...

The notion of smooth entropy allows a unifying, generalized formulation of privacy ampli-cation and entropy smoothing. Smooth entropy is a measure for the number of almost uniform random bits that can be extracted from a random source by probabilistic algorithms. It is known that the R enyi entropy of order at least 2 of a random variable is a lower bound for its smooth entropy. On the other ha...
