The paper introduces the notion of “metacomputable” processes as those which are the product of computable processes. This notion seems interesting in the instance when metacomputable processes may not be computable themselves, but are produced by co...
Starting with a new formulation for the mutual information (MI) between a pair of events, this paper derives alternative upper bounds and extends those to the case of two discrete random variables. Normalized mutual information (NMI) measures are the...
This paper presents an analysis of a Curzon and Alhborn thermal engine model where both internal irreversibilities and non-instantaneous adiabatic branches are considered, operating with maximum ecological function and maximum power output regimes. I...
It is known that the process of reconstruction of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image from sinogram data is very sensitive to measurement noises; it is still an important research topic to reconstruct PET images with high signal-to-noise ratio...
In this paper, we propose a rate-compatible (RC) parallel concatenated punctured polar (PCPP) codes for incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) transmission schemes, which can transmit multiple data blocks over a time-varying...
The article surveys and extends variational formulations of the thermodynamic free energy and discusses their information-theoretic content from the perspective of mathematical statistics. We revisit the well-known Jarzynski equality for nonequilibri...
The classical quadratic loss for the partially linear model (PLM) and the likelihood function for the generalized PLM are not resistant to outliers. This inspires us to propose a class of “robust-Bregman divergence (BD)” estimators of both the parame...
The objective of this study is to re-evaluate the relation between surface electromyogram (EMG) and muscle contraction torque in biceps brachii (BB) muscles of healthy subjects using two different complexity measures. Ten healthy subjects were recrui...
Foam systems have been attracting extensive attention due to their importance in a variety of applications, e.g., in the cleaning industry, and in bubble flotation. In the context of flotation chemistry, flotation performance is strongly affected by...
Bearing vibration response studies are crucial for the condition monitoring of bearings and the quality inspection of rotating machinery systems. However, it is still very difficult to diagnose bearing faults, especially rolling element faults, due t...
