Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Morphological Selection in Hydrodynamic Systems

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
In recent decades an idea has emerged that the maximum entropy production principle can be used to select from the different regimes of development of nonequilibrium systems. According to this principle the process with maximum entropy production is most

Entropy-Based Temporal Downscaling of Precipitation as Tool for Sediment Delivery Ratio Assessment

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Many regions around the globe are subjected to precipitation-data scarcity that often hinders the capacity of hydrological modeling. The entropy theory and the principle of maximum entropy can help hydrologists to extract useful information from the ...

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Training Concept, Evolution Time, and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) is a type of entropy optimization which demands that complex non-equilibrium systems should organize such that the rate of the entropy production is maximized. Our take on this principle is that to prove or

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology: A Reply to Harte

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
In a paper published in this journal, I addressed the following problem: under which conditions will two scientists, observing the same system and sharing the same initial information, reach the same probabilistic description upon the application of the ...

On the maximum entropy principle and the minimization of the Fisher information in Tsallis statistics

open access: yes, 2010
We give a new proof of the theorems on the maximum entropy principle in Tsallis statistics. That is, we show that the $q$-canonical distribution attains the maximum value of the Tsallis entropy, subject to the constraint on the $q$-expectation value and ...

Network Localization of Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is among the most common symptoms and one of the main factors determining the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying fatigue are not fully understood. Here we studied lesion locations and their connections in individuals with MS, aiming to identify brain networks ...

Atomic Structure Modeling of Multi-Principal-Element Alloys by the Principle of Maximum Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Atomic structure models of multi-principal-element alloys (or high-entropy alloys) composed of four to eight componential elements in both BCC and FCC lattice structures are built according to the principle of maximum entropy.

(Generalized) Maximum Cumulative Direct, Residual, and Paired Φ Entropy Approach

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
A distribution that maximizes an entropy can be found by applying two different principles. On the one hand, Jaynes (1957a,b) formulated the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) as the search for a distribution maximizing a given entropy under some given ...
