A multi-dimensional entropy model of jazz improvisation for music information retrieval.
… case context for examining information in music; entropy provides a means for representing music for retrieval. Entropy measures are shown to distinguish between different improvisations on the same theme, thus demonstrating their potential for representing jazz information for analysis and …

An Approximation for the Twenty-One-Moment Maximum-Entropy Model of Rarefied Gas Dynamics
… and moderately rarefied flow offers many modelling and numerical advantages over traditional methods. The maximum-entropy family of moment closures offers models described by hyperbolic systems of balance laws. In particular, the twenty-one moment model of the maximum-entropy hierarchy …

Probabilistic Modeling of Multi-relational and Multivariate Discrete Data
Modeling and discovering knowledge from multi-relational and multivariate discrete data is a crucial task that arises in many research and application domains, e.g. text mining, intelligence analysis, epidemiology, social science, etc. In this dissertation, we study and address three problems …

Drivable region detection for autonomous robots applied to South African underground mining
… regions in underground terrains. A system model that compares the drivability analysis of underground terrains using the entropy model and statistical region merging (SRM) was developed, with a view to presenting an analysis of 2D and 3D results. The approach involves standard …

General queueing network models for computer system performance analysis. A maximum entropy method of analysis and aggregation of general queueing network models with application to computer systems.
In this study the maximum entropy formalism [JAYN 57] is suggested as an alternative theory for general queueing systems of computer performance analysis. The motivation is to overcome some of the problems arising in this field and to extend the scope of the results derived in the context of …

Using eDNA and Habitat Suitability Modeling to Better Understand the Range and Habitat Requirements of the Eastern Black Rail
… environmental DNA (eDNA) and an ecological niche model identifying areas and characteristics of suitable habitat for this species. To detect Black Rail eDNA I developed a qPCR assay that targets a 219-bp region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (COI) and uses a fluorescent reporter probe …

Physics-based predictions of RNA loop stability and structures
… to develop a reliable theoretical/computational model for RNA structure prediction from its sequence. We aim to develop a novel free energy-based model for RNA structures, especially for RNA loops and junctions. One of the major roadblocks for the physics-based RNA tertiary structure prediction …
