Entropy

This volume presents an overview of various types of advanced steels and high entropy alloys. It also discusses the current research trends, problems, and applications of engineering steels and high entropy materials. The book gives a brief overview of advances in surface protection strategies of steels and laser processing of materials (additive manufacturing).

The theme of the book is that one cannot talk about energy’s impact on our physical world without the language of both exergy and entropy, including the dual nature of the latter, and that understanding this dual nature is the key to sustainable order creation in the renewable energy era. This book aims to provide a scientific foundation/understanding on the necessity and benefits of energy transition as well as a platform for scientists/engineers for disseminating their original research findings and their scholarship on literature review on energy/entropy/exergy.

This monograph offers a new foundation for information theory that is based on the notion of information-as-distinctions, being directly measured by logical entropy, and on the re-quantification as Shannon entropy, which is the fundamental concept for the theory of coding and communications.

This book shows how to successfully adapt entropy measures to the complexity of environmental data. It also provides a unified framework that covers all main entropy and spatial entropy measures in the literature, with suggestions for their potential use in the analysis of environmental data such as biodiversity, land use and other phenomena occurring over space or time, or both.

Non-extensive Entropy Econometrics for Low Frequency Series provides a new and robust power-law-based, non-extensive entropy econometrics approach to the economic modelling of ill-behaved inverse problems. Particular attention is paid to national account-based general equilibrium models known for their relative complexity.
