Explosion Mechanism of Core-collapse Supernovae: Role of the Si/Si–O Interface

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a simple criterion to predict the explodability of massive stars based on the density and entropy profiles before collapse. If a pronounced density jump is present near the Si/Si–O interface, the star will likely explode.

Substorm onset: A switch on the sequence of transport from decreasing entropy to increasing entropy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
In this study, we propose a scenario about the trigger for substorm onset. In a stable magnetosphere, entropy is an increasing function tailward. However, in the growth phase of a substorm, a later born bubble has lower entropy than earlier born bubbles.

Low-Entropy Hydration Shells at the Spike RBD’s Binding Site May Reveal the Contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 Variants

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The infectivity of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is primarily determined by the binding affinity between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein and the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor ...

Examining the Research on Business Information-Entropy Correlation in the Accounting Process of Organizations

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Open business organizations, where information flows, is shared, and exchanged, are more prepared to adapt and survive chaos, uncertainty, and entropy, so they will be more predisposed to change management.

Entropy Regularization in Deep Reinforcement Learning: A Structured Review Across Classical Control, Generative Policies, and Reasoning Language Models

open access: yesEntropy
Entropy regularization is a recurring mechanism in reinforcement learning (RL), but its meaning changes across algorithmic settings. In classical online RL, entropy encourages exploration and smooths policy improvement; in inverse RL and imitation ...

Low-entropy adiabats for stellar collapse

open access: yesNuclear Physics A, 1982
Abstract The equation of state of hot, dense matter is computed along two adiabats ( s =1.0 k and s = 1.5 k ) using the nuclear Thomas-Fermi model.

Spatial Layouts of Low‐Entropy Hydration Shells Guide Protein Binding

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, 2023
Protein–protein binding enables orderly biological self‐organization and is therefore considered a miracle of nature. Protein‒protein binding is driven by electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force, and hydrophobic interactions.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

MagmaFlow: A desktop platform for artificial intelligence‐driven expression analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MagmaFlow is a free, no‐code platform for gene expression analysis. It generates interactive volcano plots, links genes to literature, pathways, and diseases, prioritizes candidates using millions of publications, identifies affected biological processes, builds network diagrams, and exports publication‐ready figures and reports for macOS and Windows ...
