Entropy and Information Theory in Acoustics
Acoustics is one of the most studied fields in the 21st century, encompassing underwater acoustics, architectural acoustics, engineering acoustics, physical acoustics, environmental acoustics, psychological acoustics, signal processing in acoustics, and ...

Information Entropy of Liquid Metals [PDF]
Correlations reduce the configurational entropies of liquids below their ideal gas limits. By means of first principles molecular dynamics simulations, we obtain accurate pair correlation functions of liquid metals, then subtract the mutual information content of these correlations from the ideal gas entropies to predict the absolute entropies over a ...

The Landauer cost for erasing information demands that information about a physical system be included in the total entropy, as proposed by Zurek [Nature 341, 119 (1989); Phys. Rev. A 40, 4731 (1989)]. A consequence is that most system states-either classical phase-space distributions or quantum pure states-have total entropy much larger than thermal ...

Interval Entropy and Informative Distance [PDF]
The Shannon interval entropy function as a useful dynamic measure of uncertainty for two sided truncated random variables has been proposed in the literature of reliability. In this paper, we show that interval entropy can uniquely determine the distribution function.

What is information? Is it physical? We argue that in a Bayesian theory the notion of information must be defined in terms of its effects on the beliefs of rational agents. Information is whatever constrains rational beliefs and therefore it is the force that induces us to change our minds.

Information, Genetics and Entropy
The consolidation of the informational paradigm in molecular biology research concluded on a system to convert the epistemic object into an operational technological object and a stable epistemic product.

Unruh Effect and Information Entropy Approach
The Unruh effect can be considered a source of particle production. The idea has been widely employed in order to explain multiparticle production in hadronic and heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies.

Information Entropy in Chemistry: An Overview
Basic applications of the information entropy concept to chemical objects are reviewed. These applications deal with quantifying chemical and electronic structures of molecules, signal processing, structural studies on crystals, and molecular ensembles ...

The Entropy of a Discrete Real Variable
The discrete Shannon entropy<em> H</em> was formulated only to measure indeterminacy effected through a set of probabilities, but the indeterminacy in a real-valued discrete variable depends on both the allowed outcomes x and the ...
