We reverse engineer entropy formulas from entropic divergence, optimized to given classes of probability distribution function (PDF) evolution dynamical equation. For linear dynamics of the distribution function, the traditional Kullback–Leibler formula follows from using the logarithm function in the Csiszár’s f-divergence construction, while for nonlinear master equations more general formulas emerge. As applications, we review a local growth and global reset (LGGR) model for citation distributions, income distribution models and hadron number fluctuations in high energy collisions.

The sources of error in energy determinations carried out by means of an ionization calorimeter are well known as are the values of the relevant corrections. Very little if anything is known, however, of the statistical uncertainties of these corrections. An analytical method has been worked out in order to determine the probability that a certain fraction of the primary energy leaves a calorimeter of a given thickness and thus escapes detection. The method makes due allowance for the fluctuation of the inelasticity coefficient. Numerical calculations have been carried out assuming various forms for the probability distribution function of the inelasticity coefficient, and the results of the calculations are given for various calorimeter thicknesses.

The relative multiplicities for hadron production in different high energy collisions are in general well described by an ideal gas of all hadronic resonances, except that under certain conditions, strange particle rates are systematically reduced. We show that the suppression factor γs, accounting for reduced strange particle rates in pp, pA and AA collisions at different collision energies, becomes a universal function when expressed in terms of the initial entropy density s0 or the initial temperature T of the produced thermal medium. It is found that γs increases from about 0.5 to 1.0 in a narrow temperature range around the quark-hadron transition temperature Tc ≃ 160 MeV. Strangeness suppression thus disappears with the onset of color deconfinement; subsequently, full equilibrium resonance gas behavior is attained.

AbstractA regional offset (ΔR) from the marine radiocarbon calibration curve is widely used in calibration software (e.g. CALIB, OxCal) but often is not calculated correctly. While relatively straightforward for known-age samples, such as mollusks from museum collections or annually banded corals, it is more difficult to calculate ΔR and the uncertainty in ΔR for 14C dates on paired marine and terrestrial samples. Previous researchers have often utilized classical intercept methods that do not account for the full calibrated probability distribution function (pdf). Recently, Soulet (2015) provided R code for calculating reservoir ages using the pdfs, but did not address ΔR and the uncertainty in ΔR. We have developed an online application for performing these calculations for known-age, paired marine and terrestrial 14C dates and U-Th dated corals. This article briefly discusses methods that have been used for calculating ΔR and the uncertainty and describes the online program deltar, which is available free of charge.
