Entropy and Information Approaches to Genetic Diversity and its Expression: Genomic Geography

open access: yesEntropy, 2010
This article highlights advantages of entropy-based genetic diversity measures, at levels from gene expression to landscapes. Shannon’s entropy-based diversity is the standard for ecological communities.

Experimental Heat-Bath Cooling of Spins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Algorithmic cooling (AC) is a method to purify quantum systems, such as ensembles of nuclear spins, or cold atoms in an optical lattice. When applied to spins, AC produces ensembles of highly polarized spins, which enhance the signal strength in nuclear ...

Assessment of urban sprawl using Shannon’s entropy and fractal analysis: a case study of Atakum, Ilkadim and Canik (Samsun, Turkey)

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2017
Urban sprawl is one of the most important problems in urban development due to its negative environmental and societal impacts. Therefore, the spatial pattern of urban growth should be accurately analyzed and well understood for effective urban planning.

On Entropy of Some Fractal Structures

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2023
Shannon entropy, also known as information entropy or entropy, measures the uncertainty or randomness of probability distribution. Entropy is measured in bits, quantifying the average amount of information required to identify an event from the ...

Imprecise Shannon’s Entropy and Multi Attribute Decision Making

open access: yesEntropy, 2010
Finding the appropriate weight for each criterion is one of the main points in Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problems. Shannon’s entropy method is one of the various methods for finding weights discussed in the literature.

A Suggestion of Converting Protein Intrinsic Disorder to Structural Entropy Using Shannon’s Information Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
We propose a framework to convert the protein intrinsic disorder content to structural entropy (H) using Shannon’s information theory (IT). The structural capacity (C), which is the sum of H and structural information (I), is equal to the amino acid ...
