We estimated the perceptual entropy rate of the phonemes of American English and found that the upper limit of the perceptual entropy of voiced phonemes is approximately 1.4 bit/sample, whereas the perceptual entropy of unvoiced phonemes is approximately 0.9 bit/sample. Results indicate that a simple voiced/unvoiced classi cation is suboptimal when trying to minimize bit rate. We used two di er...

This study discusses the application of Taguchi method in assessing minimum entropy generation and maximum heat transfer rate for natural convection in an enclosure embedded with isothermal cylinder. The simulations were planned based on Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array with each trial performed under different conditions of position and aspect ratio (AR) of the cylinder. The thermal lattice Bolt...

In this paper the ill-posedness of Shannons sampling theorem is discussed and a regularized sampling algorithm for band-limited signals is presented. The convergence of the regularized sampling algorithm is studied and compared with Shannons sampling theorem by some examples.

Entropy generation due to viscous incompressible MHD forced convective dissipative fluid flow through a horizontal channel of finite depth in the existence of an inclined magnetic field and heat source effect has been examined. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for momentum, energy and entropy generation are derived and solved by using the analytical method. In addition; t...

a review of damages caused by landslide shows the need for studying effective parameters in landslide occurrence and prediction. this study aims to improve landslide prediction results for tutkabon region in gilan province. to this end, shannon entropy theory was employed for modeling and considering data uncertainty. slope, height, geomorphologic conditions, earth’s curve, closeness to river, ...
