    Extractions: what's new The September issue of the Journal of Chemical Education has my article which shows why the statement in some texts (e.g., those numbered 11-13 in December 2005) that "Matter tends to become dispersed" is seriously misleading, It is a misinterpretation of a result from configurational (positional) entropy — itself a viewpoint that should not be introduced to general chemistry students because they then believe that there are two "types" of entropy rather than one. The article concludes with the important statement, "Two factors are necessary for entropy change in chemistry. An increase in thermodynamic entropy is enabled in a process by the motional energy of molecules (that, in chemical reactions, can arise from the energy released from a bond energy change). However, entropy increase is only

Therefore classical thermodynamics has made a deep impression on me. It is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced, within the areas of the applicability of its basic concepts, will never be overthrown." Einstein (1949) DEFINING THE ENTROPY We shall define the entropy in three different yet equivalent ways.

    http://www.pynchon.pomona.edu/entropy/index.html
    
    Extractions: Introduction Thomas Pynchon achieves an unusual synthesis of art and science, and develops the unique character of his ambitious, "post-modern" works with a renaissance conception of continuous knowledge. Engineering principals animate his fiction in literal explorations, and then escalate into larger thematic matter. The Crying of Lot 49 (1965) traces Entropy through the theoretical Maxwell's Demon device (the greatest historical challenge to the second law of thermodynamics), and also extends the property and Demon to metaphorically control and inform the journey of Oedipa Mass. Pynchon's reader travels an analogous odyssey to the protagonist, sorting information, flirting with chaos and circumnavigating truth. Entropy is a quantity that, in its two contexts, characterizes not only all form and life in the universe, but all signal, language, information and written material ever produced anywhere. There are two fields which define this concept: Thermodynamics is the science of the relations between heat and other forms of energy. It deals with the changes that occur in a system if the energy distribution is unbalanced, therefore it "can be regarded as governing the direction of all physical changes taking place in the universe. With time, the energy within a system will inevitably tend to become distributed in the most probable pattern, which consists of all the individual particles of the system engaging in random, disordered motion" (OED). Thermodynamic entropy is the measure of this disorganization in a system. Furthermore, this "most probable pattern" is actually a state of equal energy among particles, as collisions cause bodies to exchange heat. A closed system inevitably proceeds toward uniformity of energy.

    It used to be a channel found in Battlenet East founded by Physician (aka entropy), Eoe_mime and Sagoter. We either meet in entropy or OP entropy.  
    http://entropyzero.org/
    
    Extractions: It's a meeting place of Broodwar gamers like many other communities or channels. People tend to hang around a community or a channel for a while and become organized for a given period by playing together, learning, making friends etc. Then as time passes and the forces of entropy occur, people gradually move on to other channels or move on in life and the disorganization of these associations prevail. The main force of cohesion in entropy is the worship of the Fog of War. Everyone in entropy has a healthy paranoia against hackers. Even after many years of building a reputation as a Fog of War worshiper you will find that your game will always be scrutinized for signs of hacking. If you are caught hacking prepare for public humiliation. However like any group of worshipers they will always try to convert hackers to become Fog of War worshipers. They forgive but never forget.

33. EGD: The Entropy Gathering Daemon
    EGD is an entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don t have this convenient source of random bits.  
    http://egd.sourceforge.net/
    
    Extractions: A userspace substitute for /dev/random, written in perl. One of the nice features of the Linux kernel (and certain *BSD kernels) is the /dev/random device. This is a little character device that gives you random numbers when you read it. In a variety of places scattered throughout the kernel, certain interrupts (network packets arriving, keyboard hits, mouse movement) cause a timestamp and some event information to be hashed into an "entropy pool". The pool, perhaps 4k in size, always contains very random data, but as bits are "stirred" in, a counter is incremented to reflect the fact that the poll is now even more random than before. When you read from /dev/random, you get a hashed portion of the pool, and the counter is decremented. This gives you high quality cryptographically strong random data. The Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), along with many other encryption routines (pgp, ssh, even the sequence-number selection algorithm used by the kernel's TCP stack), use this device to seed a secure random number generator. Encryption uses lots of random data, and hybrid public-key/ symmetric-cipher encryption uses even more. EGD is an Entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don't have this convenient source of random bits. It is a regular user-space program that sits around, running programs like 'w' and 'last' and 'vmstat', collecting the randomness (or at least the unpredictability) inherent in the output of these system statistics programs when used on a reasonably busy system. It slowly stirs the output of these gathering programs into a pool of entropy, much like the linux kernel device, and allows other programs to read out random bits from this pool.

    Extractions: This page contains pedagogically-oriented material on maximum entropy and exponential models. The emphasis is towards modelling of discrete-valued stochastic processes which arise in human language applications, such as language modelling. All links point to postscript files unless otherwise indicated. An online introduction to maxent This is a high-level tutorial on how to use MaxEnt for modelling discrete stochastic processes. The motivating example is the task of determining the most appropriate translation of a French word in context. The tutorial discusses the process of growing an exponential model by automatic feature selection ("inductive learning," if you will) and also the task of estimating maximum-likelihood parameters for a model containing a fixed set of features. Convexity, Maximum Likelihood and All That This note is meant as a gentle but comprehensive introduction to the expectation-maximization (EM) and improved iterative scaling (IIS) algorithms, two popular techniques in maximum likelihood estimation. The focus in this tutorial is on the foundation common to the two algorithms: convex functions and their convenient properties. Where examples are called for, we draw from applications in human language technology.
