Entropy and gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The effect of gravity upon changes of the entropy of a gravity-dominated system is discussed. In a universe dominated by vacuum energy, gravity is repulsive, and there is accelerated expansion.

Are We Overmonitoring Vestibular Schwannomas? Challenging the Necessity of Tracking Them All

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Increased MRI use for nonspecific symptoms has led to frequent detection of small or incidental vestibular schwannomas (VS), most of which never require treatment. This study aimed to develop and validate a stepwise model to stratify VS patients using early MRI findings and reduce unnecessary long‐term surveillance.

Applicability and Design Considerations of Chaotic and Quantum Entropy Sources for Random Number Generation in IoT Devices

open access: yesEntropy
This article presents a comparative analysis of two types of generators of random sequences: one based on a discrete chaotic system being the logistic map, and the other being a commercial quantum random number generator QUANTIS-USB-4M.

SEMANTIC INTERPRETATION OF AUTHORIAL MODALITY AS A COGNITIVE-DISCURSIVE CATEGORY (Case study of Shakespeare’s plays and their Ukrainian retranslations) [PDF]

open access: yesAlfred Nobel University Journal of Philology
The article focuses on the issue of authorial modality as a cognitive-discursive category as addressed in semantics of lexical units, in particular, connotatively loaded ones, which are realised in the texts of time- remote Shakespeare’s plays and ...

Do digital platforms create entrepreneurial opportunities? Evidence from marginal areas

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article enters the debate on the effects of digital platforms on entrepreneurial opportunities by estimating whether the entry of a home‐sharing platform shapes entrepreneurial decisions in marginal areas. We add a novel perspective to the literature, as we contend that when economic conditions are unfavorable, digital ...

Anti‐obesity medications and incident ocular outcomes: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
In this systematic review and network meta‑analysis of 140 studies, anti‑obesity medications showed heterogeneous ocular safety profiles. Semaglutide was associated with higher NAION risk (observational data), whereas dual/multi‑agonists and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists demonstrated favourable glaucoma and overall ocular outcomes ...

Subjective Visual Vertical Can be an Effective Tool to Evaluate Vestibular Function of Stapedotomy

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate if the subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/SVH) can be used to evaluate the otolith organ of otosclerosis and stapedotomy. Design A total of 19 patients who were diagnosed with otosclerosis and underwent surgical treatment in our hospital were collected.

Regularizing cross entropy loss via minimum entropy and K-L divergence

open access: yes
I introduce two novel loss functions for classification in deep learning. The two loss functions extend standard cross entropy loss by regularizing it with minimum entropy and Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence terms.

Exponential Convergence in Entropy and Wasserstein Distance for McKean-Vlasov SDEs [PDF]

open access: yes
The following type exponential convergence is proved for (non-degenerate or degenerate) McKean-Vlasov SDEs: $$W_2(μ_t,μ_\infty)^2 +{\rm Ent}(μ_t|μ_\infty)\le c {\rm e}^{-λt} \min\big\{W_2(μ_0, μ_\infty)^2,{\rm Ent}(μ_0|μ_\infty)\big\},\ \ t\ge 1,$$ where
