measure definition. It is shown that the globalization process can be best characterised by an entropy measure, based on … entropy Manhattan distance. It is observed that a globalization maximum was reached during the interval 1970–2000. More …

Physics and Information Theory commonly use Shannon’s entropy which measures the randomness of probability laws, whereas … principle of maximal entropy, we explore the maximization of statistical heterogeneity–for probability laws with a given mean …–in the four following scenarios: (i) Shannon entropy maximization subject to a given dispersion level; (ii) Gini index …

The exact forms of the degenerate Maxwell–Boltzmann (MB), Bose–Einstein (BE) and Fermi–Dirac (FD) entropy functions …

information we propose an entropy based performance index (Sp) for monitoring the teaching–learning process. Our index is based on … analogous to entropy in statistical mechanics, with student ability being akin to inverse temperature, peer instruction to an …

fluctuation analysis and the multiscale entropy methods to analyze the fluctuations of geoelectric time series monitored in two … sites located in Mexico. We systematically calculate the correlation exponents and the sample entropy (SE) of geoelectric … time series. Important differences in the scaling exponents and entropy profiles for several time scales are observed. In …

The configurational entropy of repulsive interacting particles adsorbed on heterogeneous surfaces is studied by …

can be determined for three component systems and, besides, the average stress field and entropy production during …
