A study on rolling bearing fault diagnosis using RIME-VMD by Zhenrong Ma, Ying Zhang

“…Next, the kurtosis values of each decomposed Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) are calculated, and the component with the most prominent fault features is selected for noise reduction through reconstruction. Finally, the sample entropy of the reconstructed signal is calculated as a fault feature and input into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for rapid identification and diagnosis of various rolling bearing fault types. …”

Thermodynamics of Micellization of Nonionic Surfactant Tween-40 in Presence of Additive Chloramine-T Using Clouding Phenomenon by A. A. Patil, T. J. Patil

“…It was found that the overall clouding process was exothermic and ΔH0cl > TΔS0cl indicating that the process of clouding was guided by both enthalpy and entropy. This work supports the conjecture that the clouding is critical phenomenon rather than the growth of micelles. …”

A roadmap from the bond strength to the grain-boundary energies and macro strength of metals by Xin Li, Hao Wu, Wang Gao, Qing Jiang

“…Importantly, our framework not only applies to both pure metals and MPEAs, but also unravels the distinction of the bond strength caused by elemental compositions, lattice structures, high-entropy, and amorphous effects. These findings build a physical picture across bond strength, grain-boundary energies and strength of metals by using easily accessible material properties and provide a robust method for the design of high-strength alloys.…”

High-Frequency Synchronization Improves Firing Rate Contrast and Information Transmission Efficiency in E/I Neuronal Networks by Fang Han, Zhijie Wang, Hong Fan, Yaopeng Zhang

“…It is also found that the global firing rate contrast enhancement can prevent the number of spikes of the neurons measured within the limited time window from being confused by noise, thereby enhancing the information encoding efficiency (quantified by entropy theory here) of the neuronal system. The mechanism of firing rate contrast enhancement is also investigated. …”

Calculation of Free Energy Consumption in Gene Transcription with Complex Promoter Structure by Lifang Huang, Peijiang Liu, Kunwen Wen, Jianshe Yu

“…We propose a biophysically intuitive approach to calculate energy consumption (quantified by the production rate of entropy) of a gene transcription process. Then, we show that the numbers of the ON and OFF states of a promoter can reduce energy consumption of the gene system and the Fano factor of mRNA, and in contrast to other regulatory ways, the cooperative binding of transcription factors to DNA sites always reduces energy consumption but amplifies the mRNA noise. …”
