Quantifying the entropic cost of cellular growth control

open access: yes, 2017
We quantify the amount of regulation required to control growth in living cells by a Maximum Entropy approach to the space of underlying metabolic states described by genome-scale models. Results obtained for E.

Reconstruction of motional states of neutral atoms via MaxEnt principle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present a scheme for a reconstruction of states of quantum systems from incomplete tomographic-like data. The proposed scheme is based on the Jaynes principle of Maximum Entropy.

The relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands and conservation: A systematic literature review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract A growing body of peer‐reviewed literature is focused on the relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands (Indigenous lands) and conservation outcomes. We performed a systematic review of this English reported peer‐reviewed literature (n = 111) to examine: the key characteristics; the conservation outcomes documented; the methods used in ...

Functional reassessment of extended splice region variants in MYO7A with hearing loss and Usher syndrome

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract MYO7A is a causal gene, underlying Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) and both autosomal recessive (DFNB2) and dominant (DFNA11) non‐syndromic hearing loss. Despite the large number of reported MYO7A variants (over 2,200), variants located in an extended splice region remain difficult to interpret and are often classified as variants of uncertain ...

Using crowdsourced spatial data from Flickr vs. PPGIS for understanding nature's contribution to people in Southern Norway

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2020
Crowdsourced data can provide spatially explicit data on the contribution of nature to people. Spatial information is essential for effectively managing the diverse relationships that people have with nature, but the potential and limits of using ...

A first order Tsallis theory

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate first-order approximations to both i) Tsallis' entropy $S_q$ and ii) the $S_q$-MaxEnt solution (called q-exponential functions $e_q$). It is shown that the functions arising from the procedure ii) are the MaxEnt solutions to the entropy ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Combining community science and MaxEnt modeling to estimate Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) winter abundance and distribution

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
Understanding the distribution and abundance of species is a fundamental aspect of conservation biology. Species distribution models aim to predict distributions based on species observations and ecologically relevant information.

Modeling raccoon (Procyon lotor) habitat connectivity to identify potential corridors for rabies spread [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services National Rabies Management Program has conducted cooperative oral rabies vaccination (ORV) programs since 1997.

Using the average spectrum method to extract dynamics from quantum Monte Carlo simulations

open access: yes, 2008
We apply the Average Spectrum Method to the problem of getting the excitation spectrum from imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show that with high quality QMC data this method reproduces the dominant spectral features very well.
