using uv-vis spectrophotometric method the interaction of water soluble phthalocyanine, cobalt(ιι) 4,4′,4′′,4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine(cotspc), with bovine serum albumin (bsa) to determine the formation constant and related thermodynamic functions. the measurements were considered in 1mm sodium phosphate buffer, ph 7.0 and at 5 different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40ºc. the results sho...

In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.

We formulate two types of extensions of the large deviation theory initiated by Bahadur in a non-regular setting. One can be regarded as a bound of the point estimation, the other can be regarded as the limit of a bound of the interval estimation. Both coincide in the regular case, but do not necessarily coincide in a non-regular case. Using the limits of relative Rényi entropies, we derive the...

In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...

in this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-al2o3 and ethylene glycol-al2o3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...

Enthalpy-entropy compensation (EEC) is observed in diverse molecular binding processes of importance to living systems and manufacturing applications, but this widely occurring phenomenon is not sufficiently understood from a molecular physics standpoint. To gain insight into this fundamental problem, we focus on the melting of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) since measurements exhibiting EEC are e...

The large-inputs asymptotic capacity of a peak and average power limited discrete-time Poisson channel is derived using a new firm (non-asymptotic) lower bound and an asymptotic upper bound. The upper bound is based on the dual expression for channel capacity and the recently introduced notion of capacityachieving input distributions that escape to infinity. The lower bound is based on a lemma ...

The present study carefully examined entropy generation during wustite pellet reduction to sponge iron. The finite volume method was used to solve the governing equations. The grain model was used to simulate the reaction rate. The reactant gases including carbon monoxide and hydrogen were converted to water and carbon dioxide after wustite reduction. Entropy is generated by heat transfer, mass...
