In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...

gradual decrease of biodiversity related to the rapid industrialization and urbanization is stimulating the fundamental research towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. present study emphasizes the nature and status of floral diversity in the vicinity of integrated industrial estate-pantnagar, uttarakhand, india (iie-pantnagar).three m...

Let C r ((0; 1]) denote the metric space of C r self-maps of 0; 1] and C s;r ((0; 1]) denote the metric space of C s families of maps in C r ((0; 1]) with the parameter space 0; 1]. Let Hs;r be the unimodal families with non-constant topological entropy in C s;r ((0; 1]). We show that for s 0, r 2, there is an open and dense subset Gs;r of Hs;r such that each family in Gs;r has a map with a hom...

The current recognition algorithms of communication signals often have high complexity and poor anti-noise performance. To this problem, the paper proposed a communication signal modulation identification algorithm, which is based on fractal box dimension and index entropy. This paper first extracts box counting dimension characteristics of signals which characterize signals’ complexity to clas...

The dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3He such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. The Lennard-Jones potential has been used in our calculations. It has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greate...

We show that if a random codebook for lossy source coding is generated by a non-optimum reproduction distribution Q, then the entropy of the index of the D-matching codeword is reduced by conditioning on the codebook: the number of bits saved is equal to the divergence between the \favorite type" in the codebook and the generating distribution Q. Speciic examples are provided.

When a software system evolves, new requirements may be added, existing functionalities modified, or some structural change introduced. During such evolution, disorder may be introduced, complexity increased or unintended consequences introduced, producing rippleeffect across the system. JHotDraw (JHD), a well-tested and widely used open source Javabased graphics framework developed with the be...
