Shape Analysis studies geometrical objects, as for example a flat fish in the plane or a human head in the space. The applications range from structural biology, computer vision, medical imaging to archaeology. We focus on the selection of an appropr...

Investigations on exergy resources are important from the point of energy sustainability. In the presented study, an energy and exergy analysis of the operating biomass and natural gas boilers at the University of Idaho (UI) district energy plant is...

After the 2008 financial collapse, Kritzman et al. 2010 introduced the now popular measure of implied systemic risk called the absorption ratio. This statistic is constructed from a fixed number of eigenvectors, and measures how closely the economy’s...

Different notions of entropy can be identified in different communities: (i) the thermodynamic sense; (ii) the information sense; (iii) the statistical sense; (iv) the disorder sense; and (v) the homogeneity sense. Especially the “disorder sense” and...

The flow boiling heat transfer is one of the common phenomenon happening in the industries. The micro-fin tubes are one of the geometries widely used to enhance heat transfer rate in boiling condition. The entropy generation analysis is presented wit...

With the rapid depletion of fossils fuels, opportunities for renewable energy including solar energy are endless. The efficiency of photovoltaic cells to convert the solar energy into electricity drops with the rise in temperature due to increased re...

Molecular tunneling process has been considered by means of radiation theory. The formula for information entropy calculation has been derived by means of interaction model of thermal equilibrium radiation with a molecule at low temperatures. The phy...

Liquid impinging jet at the bottom of the annular cavity is a typical case in the process industry. The jet could have an impact at the bottom center or its peripheral section. The profiled annular cylindrical cavity with the installed electricity he...

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...

A method for synthesizing quantum gates is presented based on interpolation methods applied to operators in Hilbert space. Starting from the diagonal forms of specific generating seed operators with non-degenerate eigenvalue spectrum one obtains for...
