Hyperaccurate currents in stochastic thermodynamics

Thermodynamic observables of mesoscopic systems can be expressed as integrated empirical currents. Their fluctuations are bound by thermodynamic uncertainty relations. We introduce the hyperaccurate current as the integrated empirical current with the leas ...

Fisher–Shannon Complexity Analysis of High-Frequency Urban Wind Speed Time Series

Dasaraden Mauree, Fabian Guignard

One-hertz wind time series recorded at different levels (from 1.5–25.5 m) in an urban area are investigated by using the Fisher–Shannon (FS) analysis. FS analysis is a well-known method to gain insight into the complex behavior of nonlinear systems, by qua ...

Remote Source Coding Under Gaussian Noise: Dueling Roles of Power and Entropy Power

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The distributed remote source coding (the so-called CEO) problem is studied in the case where the underlying source, not necessarily Gaussian, has finite differential entropy and the observation noise is Gaussian. The main result is a new lower bound for t ...

Polarization and Channel Ordering: Characterizations and Topological Structures

Rajai Nasser

Information theory is the field in which we study the fundamental limitations of communication. Shannon proved in 1948 that there exists a maximum rate, called capacity, at which we can reliably communicate information through a given channel. However, Sha ...

Entropy based fingerprint for local crystalline order

Pablo Miguel Piaggi, Michele Parrinello

We introduce a new fingerprint that allows distinguishing between liquid-like and solid-like atomic environments. This fingerprint is based on an approximate expression for the entropy projected on individual atoms. When combined with local enthalpy, this ...

Navigating and Managing the Complexity of Genome Scale Metabolic Networks for Studies in Cellular Physiology and Industrial Biotechnology

Meriç Ataman

Metabolism is a network of biochemical reactions that converts carbon sources to cellu-lar fuels and building blocks. Metabolism of many organisms has been studied for many decades. These studies define metabolism as a very large and complex network. Stoic ...

Thermodynamics of the Segregation of a Kinetically Trapped Two-Dimensional Amorphous Metal-Organic Network

Klaus Kern, Claudius Morchutt

Surface-confined self-assembled molecular networks are commonly described as crystalline structures with short- and long-range order. Few exceptions to this trend are found in the literature reporting on amorphous and glassy networks and, discussing the or ...

Statistical-thermodynamics modelling of the built environment in relation to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Various aspects of the built environment have important effects on ecology. Providing suitable metrics for the built forms so as to quantify and model their internal relations and external ecological footprints, however, remains a challenge. Here we provid ...

Quantitative analysis of structural changes during rapid urban growth

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

New quantitative measures of urban structural changes are introduced and applied to the fast-growing city of Kerman, Iran. The results of 20,802 street measurements show that the main street orientations are orthogonal, both in the old inner part and in th ...

Neighbourhood morphology and solar irradiance in relation to urban climate

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Govinda Upadhyay

Assessing the relationship between neighbourhood morphology and urban climate is becoming increasingly important as cities continue to grow and the climate continues to change. Here we focus on the impact of (1) shapes and sizes of buildings, (2) street la ...
