Cover Story: Entropy applications in hydrometric network design problems have been extensively studied in the most recent decade. This paper introduces a methodology called ensemble-based dual entropy and multiobjective optimization (EnDEMO), which considers uncertainty from the ensemble generation of the input data. First, the current network was evaluated by transinformation analysis. Then, the optimal networks were explored using the traditional deterministic network design method and the newly proposed ensemble-based method. A comparison of the results shows that the most frequently selected stations by EnDEMO were fewer and appeared more reliable for practical use. The maps of station selection frequency from both DEMO and EnDEMO allowed us to identify preferential locations for additional stations; however, EnDEMO provided a more robust outcome than the traditional approach.

In the hot strip rolling process, many process parameters are related to the quality of the final products. Sometimes, the process parameters corresponding to different steel grades are close to, or even overlap, each other. In reality, locating over...

We address an informational puzzle that appears with a non-Markovian open qubit dynamics: namely the fact that, while, according to the existing witnesses of information flows, a single qubit affected by that dissipative dynamics does not show inform...
