A Novel Approach to the Partial Information Decomposition
Entropy, 2022 We consider the “partial information decomposition” (PID) problem, which aims to decompose the information that a set of source random variables provide about a target random variable into separate redundant, synergistic, union, and unique components. In

Quality Systems. A Thermodynamics-Related Interpretive Model
Entropy, 2017 In the present paper, a Quality Systems Theory is presented. Certifiable Quality Systems are treated and interpreted in accordance with a Thermodynamics-based approach.

A General Theory of Information and Computation
CoRR, 2016 This paper fills a gap in our understanding of the interaction between information and computation. It unifies other approaches to measuring information like Kolmogorov complexity and Shannon information. We define a theory about information flow in deterministic computing based on three fundamental observations: 1) Information is measured in ...

No-free-information principle in general probabilistic theories [PDF]
Quantum, 2019 In quantum theory, the no-information-without-disturbance and no-free-information theorems express that those observables that do not disturb the measurement of another observable and those that can be measured jointly with any other observable must be trivial, i.e., coin tossing observables.

The application of foraging theory to the information searching behaviour of general practitioners
BMC Family Practice, 2011 Background General Practitioners (GPs) employ strategies to identify and retrieve medical evidence for clinical decision making which take workload and time constraints into account.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) face multiple acute and chronic medical complications that may impact their quality of life as reported by patients themselves. Health‐related social needs (HRSNs), such as food and housing insecurity, are common in people with SCD, but the association between HRSNs and patient‐reported ...

Information Theory: a Multifaceted Model of Information
Entropy, 2003 A contradictory and paradoxical situation that currently exists in information studies can be improved by the introduction of a new information approach, which is called the general theory of information.

The Information Content of Systems in General Physical Theories [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 What kind of object is a quantum state? Is it an object that encodes an exponentially growing amount of information (in the size of the system) or more akin to a probability distribution? It turns out that these questions are sensitive to what we do with the information. For example, Holevo's bound tells us that n qubits only encode n bits of classical

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...
