▼ This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of the recently discovered (Mg,Ni,Co,Cu,Zn)O entropy stabilized oxide. In this system, oxygen populates the anion sublattice of the FCC rock-salt structure while the five cations randomly populate the cation sublattice. Configurational entropy drives the formation of a single-phase solid solution, overcoming the enthalpy of mixing of the five components. The temperature required for this transition is minimized for the (Mg0.2Ni0.2Co¬0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2)O composition because configurational entropy is maximized for equimolar amounts of each cation. Various techniques are employed to characterize the formation of the single phase and its stability under different thermal treatments. Upon heating a single-phase sample at temperatures between 600 and 875 °C, a copper-rich tenorite precipitate forms, providing another method for controlling the microstructure. The reversibility of the formation of the single-phase solution is paramount to the entropy stabilization. Octahedrally coordinated Cu2+ ions exhibit a Jahn-Teller distortion and have been shown to cluster within the rock-salt lattice to relieve the stress induced by these distorted bonds. The global structure of this entropy-stabilized single phase is rock-salt; under certain processing conditions, selective peak broadening appears which suggests the presence of lattice distortion. This is hypothesized to be the result of copper-rich nanoscale defects where the cations are displaced from ideal lattice sites, due to the tetragonal distortion around these ions. Samples were sintered to >95% density using mixed oxide processing and solid-state sintering, which is an improvement on previous attempts to densify this material by similar methods. Dilatometry revealed two distinct temperature regimes where densification occurs at different rates, indicating the presence of different active sintering mechanisms. DC and AC measurements were employed to characterize the electrical properties of dense samples. The single-phase entropy stabilized oxide is insulating at room temperature with resistivity values on the order of 109 Ω m and possesses several thermally activated conduction mechanisms. When heat treated at lower temperatures to precipitate tenorite, the electrical resistivity drops by six orders of magnitude.

▼ The following thesis focuses on the scaling of entanglement entropy in lower dimensions and is divided into three main parts. Chapter 2 studies the thermal reduced density matrices in fermion and spin systems on ladders. Chapter 3 studies the many-body localization phase transition in a Rokhsar-Kivelson type wave function. Chapter 4 studies the subleading correction term of entanglement entropy in 2+1 dimensional scale invariant systems. Chapter 5 studies the bulk-boundary correspondence in 3 + 1 dimensional topological phases and its entanglement entropy. In chapter 2, we investigate the reduced density matrices for a model of free fermions on a two-leg ladder (gapped by the inter-chain tunneling operator) and in 1/2 spin systems on a ladder with a gapped ground state using exact solutions and several controlled approximations. We calculate the reduced density matrix and the entanglement entropy for a leg of the ladder (i.e. cut made between the chains). In the fermionic system we find the exact form of the reduced density matrix for one of the chains and determine the entanglement spectrum explicitly. Here we find that in the weak tunneling limit of the ladder the entanglement entropy of one chain of the gapped ladder has a simple and universal form dictated by conformal invariance. In the case of the spin system, we consider the strong coupling limit by using perturbation theory and get the reduced density matrix by the Schmidt decomposition. The entanglement entropies of a general gapped system of two coupled conformal field theories (in 1+1 dimensions) is discussed using the replica trick and scaling arguments. We show that 1) for a system with a bulk gap, the reduced density matrix has the form of a thermal density matrix, 2) the long-wavelength modes of one subsystem (a chain) of a gapped coupled system are always thermal, 3) the von Neumann entropy equals to the thermodynamic entropy of one chain, and 4) the bulk gap plays the role of effective temperature. In chapter 3, we construct a family of many-body wave functions to study the many-body localization phase transition. The wave functions have a Rokhsar-Kivelson form, in which the weight for the configurations are chosen from the Gibbs weights of a classical spin glass model, known as the Random Energy Model, multiplied by a random sign structure to represent a highly excited state. These wave functions show a phase transition into an MBL phase. In addition, we see three regimes of entanglement scaling with subsystem size: scaling with entanglement corresponding to an infinite temperature thermal phase, constant scaling, and a sub-extensive scaling between these limits. Near the phase transition point, the fluctuations of the Renyi entropies are non-Gaussian. We find that Renyi entropies with different Renyi index transition into the MBL phase at different points and have different scaling behavior, suggesting a multifractal behavior. In chapter 4, we study the universal scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy of critical theories in 2+1… Advisors/Committee Members: Fradkin, Eduardo (advisor), Ryu, Shinsei (Committee Chair), Faulkner, Thomas (committee member), Cooper, Lance (committee member).

▼ In recent years, the concept of high entropy alloys (HEAs) has gained increasing attention due to their unique compositions, microstructures and properties. High entropy alloys are defined as solid-solution alloys with 5 or more principal elements in equal or nearly equal atomic fractions with the elemental concentrations ranging from 5 – 35at%. This new class of materials are considered to be potential alternatives to the conventional materials which are currently being used in the different fields such as structural, nuclear, automotive and aerospace industries. In this study, the determination of phases and microstructural properties of FeNiCrCo and FeNiCrCoAl high entropy alloys with nearly equi-atomic concentrations and their influence on the hardness of the material after undergoing different thermo-mechanical treatments was studied. The combination of different techniques such as, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) were used to determine the phases present in the alloy systems for different experimental conditions. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to observe the microstructural evolution in the material. Vickers hardness tester is used to determine the hardness values. FeNiCrCo high entropy alloy system was found out to be a single-phase FCC system for all experimental conditions whereas FeNiCrCoAl contains a mixture of BCC, FCC and Sigma phases. The hardness values were correlated to the phases present and the microstructural properties of the alloy. This study provides an overview of the behavior of these alloy systems from intermediate to high temperature range for two different starting conditions, as cast and hot rolled. This work can be considered as a first step to fully understanding the potential of these high entropy alloy systems to serve as potential alternatives to the conventional alloys currently used.

▼ Local Maximum Entropy (LME) method is an approximation technique which has been known to have good approximation characteristics. This is due to its non-negative shape functions and the weak Kronecker delta property which allow the solutions to be continuous and smooth as compared to the Moving Least Square method (MLS) which is used in the Element Free Galerkin method (EFG). The method is based on a convex optimisation scheme where a non-linear equation is solved with the help of a Newton algorithm, implemented in an in-house code called SESKA. In this study, the aim is to compare LME and MLS and highlight the differences. Preliminary benchmark tests of LME are found to be very conclusive. The method is able to approximate deformation of a cantilever beam with higher accuracy as compared to MLS. Moreover, its rapid convergence rate, based on a Cook's membrane problem, demonstrated that it requires a relatively coarser mesh to reach the exact solution. With those encouraging results, LME is then applied to a larger non-linear cardiac mechanics problem. That is simulating a healthy and a myocardial infarcted canine left ventricle (LV) during one heart beat. The LV is idealised by a prolate spheroidal ellipsoid. It undergoes expansion during the diastolic phase, addressed by a non-linear passive stress model which incorporates the transversely isotropic properties of the material. The contraction, during the systolic phase, is simulated by Guccione's active stress model. The infarct region is considered to be non-contractile and twice as stiff as the healthy tissue. The material loss, especially during the necrotic phase, is incorporated by the use of a homogenisation approach. Firstly, the loss of the contraction ability of the infarct region counteracts the overall contraction behaviour by a bulging deformation where the occurrence of high stresses are noted. Secondly, with regards to the behaviour of LME, it is found to feature high convergence rate and a decrease in computation time with respect to MLS. However, it is also observed that LME is quite sensitive to the nodal spacing in particular for an unstructured nodal distribution where it produces results that are completely unreliable.

▼ Fault analysis of mechanical and electromechanical systems has been a subject of considerable interest in the systems and control research community. Entropy, under its various formulations is an important variable, which is unrivaled when it comes to measuring order (or organization) and/or disorder (or disorganization). Researchers have successfully used entropy based concepts to solve various challenging problems in engineering, mathematics, meteorology, biotechnology, medicine, statistics etc. This research tries to analyze faults in electromechanical systems using information entropy concepts. The objectives of this research are to develop a method to evaluate signal entropy of a dynamical system using only input/output measurements, and to use this entropy measure to analyze faults within a dynamical system. Given discrete-time signals corresponding to the three-phase voltages and currents of an electromechanical system being monitored, the problem is to analyze whether or not this system is healthy. The concepts of Shannon entropy and relative entropy come from the field of Information Theory. They measure the degree of uncertainty that exists in a system. The main idea behind this approach is that the system's dynamics may have regularities hidden in measurements that are not obvious to see. The Shannon entropy and relative entropy measures are calculated by using probability distribution functions (PDF) that are formed by sampling the time series currents and voltages of a system. The system's health is monitored by, first, sampling the currents and voltages at certain time intervals, then generating the corresponding PDFs and, finally, calculating the information entropy measures. If the system dynamics are unchanged, or in other words, the system continues to be healthy, then the relative entropy measures will be consistently low or constant. But, if the system dynamics change due to damage, then the corresponding relative entropy and Shannon entropy measures will be increasing compared to the entropy of the system with less damage.

▼ The concept of entropy rst arose in the study of thermodynamics and statistical me- chanics. In information theory the so-called Shannon entropy plays a signi cant role, which measures how much information we gain, on average, when we learn the value of a random variable. An alternative interpretation is that the entropy of the random variable quanti es the amount of uncertainty about the random variable before we learn its value. The concept was introduced by Claude E. Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". In the rst part of the present work we consider this fundamental measure of information and show some of its properties, such as non-negativity. The relative entropy or the Kullback-Leibler divergence is a very useful measure of the distance between two prob- ability distributions. After introducing its de nition and other notions (joint entropy, conditional entropy or mutual information) we can prove additional assertions about the Shannon entropy and present statements about the relations between the above men- tioned quantities. In quantum information theory, there is a quantity, namely von Neumann entropy, which corresponds to Shannon entropy and originates from it. In the section Von Neu- mann entropy we will introduce this quantity which is a continuous functional on the states, or on their mathematical representatives, the density operators, and it ful ls in- equalities such as subadditivity and strong subaddititvity. Just as with the Shannon entropy, it is extremely useful to de ne a quantum version of the relative entropy, which is one of the most important numerical quantities appearing in quantum information theory. It is used as a measure of distinguishability between quantum states. Among others its properties are jointly convexity, monotonicity which are speci cally convenient. Transformations on structures which preserve operations, quantities or relations among elements appear in many areas of mathematics. These are the so-called preservers which show up also in physics and even in chemistry where they are usually called symmetries. Therefore, the study of preserver transformations is an important area of research. The third section of this work is based on a paper, in which Lajos Molnár described the structure every bijective map on the space of all density operators on a given Hilbert space, which preserves the relative entropy. This result is closely related to Wigner's famous theorem on the form of quantum mechanical symmetry transformations. The above theorem of Molnár can be extended into two directions. On the one hand, the result holds also in the case when the transformation under consideration acts on the space of all positive semide nite operators not only on density operators (i.e., we omit the condition of unit trace). On the other hand the statement remains valid even if we omit the strongly restrictive condition that the transformation is bijective. The second result is a joint work with Prof. Lajos Molnár which… Advisors/Committee Members: Molnár, Lajos (advisor).

▼ ANIMACY IN SENTENCE PROCESSING ACROSS LANGUAGES: AN INFORMATION-THEORETIC PROSPECTIVE Zhong Chen, Ph.D. Cornell University August 2014 This dissertation is concerned with different sources of information that affect human sentence comprehension. It focuses on the way that syntactic rules interact with non-syntactic cues in real-time processing. It develops the idea first introduced in the Competition Model of MacWhinney in the late 1980s such that the weight of a linguistic cue varies among languages. The dissertation addresses this problem from an information-theoretic prospective. The proposed Entropy Reduction metric (Hale, 2003) combines corpus-retrieved attestation frequencies with linguistically-motivated grammars. It derives a processing asymmetry called the Subject Advantage that has been observed across languages (Keenan & Comrie, 1977). The modeling results are consistent with the intuitive structural expectation idea, namely that subject relative clauses, as a frequent structure, are easier to comprehend. However, the present research takes this proposal one step further by illustrating how the comprehension difficulty profile reflects uncertainty over different initial substrings. It highlights particular disambiguation decisions that contribute to processing difficulties found in object relative clauses in English, Italian and Chinese. More importantly, this dissertation examines the role that the universally applicable animacy cue plays in understanding relativized structures. Based on the frequency distribution of animacy in treebanks, this line of modeling work not only provides finer-grained explanations for the animacy effect at the head noun reported in previous experimental literature, but also contributes to integrate an important functional notion into the formal linguistic framework in a unique way. Incorporating functional features like animacy allows us to explore rich, cognitively-plausible grammars in human sentence comprehension. Advisors/Committee Members: Hale, John T. (chair), Whitman, John (committee member), Lust, Barbara Catherine (committee member).

▼ Entropy and conditional mutual information are the key quantities information theory provides to measure uncertainty of and independence relations between random variables. While these measures are key to diverse areas such as physics, communication, signal processing, and machine learning, surprisingly there is still much about them that is yet unknown. This thesis explores some of this unknown territory, ranging from tackling fundamental questions involving the interdependence between entropies of different subsets of random variables via the characterization of the region of entropic vectors, to applied questions involving how conditional independences can be harnessed to improve the efficiency of supervised learning in discrete valued datasets. The region of entropic vectors is a convex cone that has been shown to be at the core of many fundamental limits for problems in multiterminal data compression, network coding, and multimedia transmission. This cone has been shown to be non-polyhedral for four or more random variables, however its boundary remains unknown for four or more discrete random variables. We prove that only one form of nonlinear non-shannon inequality is necessary to fully characterize the region for four random variables. We identify this inequality in terms of a function that is the solution to an optimization problem. We also give some symmetry and convexity properties of this function which rely on the structure of the region of entropic vectors and Ingleton inequalities. Methods for specifying probability distributions that are in faces and on the boundary of the convex cone are derived, then utilized to map optimized inner bounds to the unknown part of the entropy region. The first method utilizes tools and algorithms from abstract algebra to efficiently determine those supports for the joint probability mass functions for four or more random variables that can, for some appropriate set of non-zero probabilities, yield entropic vectors in the gap between the best known inner and outer bounds. These supports are utilized, together with numerical optimization over non-zero probabilities, to provide inner bounds to the unknown part of the entropy region. Next, information geometry is utilized to parameterize and study the structure of probability distributions on these supports yielding entropic vectors in the faces of entropy and in the unknown part of the entropy region. In the final section of the thesis, we propose score functions based on entropy and conditional mutual information as components in partition strategies for supervised learning of datasets with discrete valued features. Partitioning the data enables a reduction in the complexity of training and testing on large datasets. We demonstrate that such partition strategies can also be efficient in the sense that when the training and testing datasets are split according to them, and the blocks in the partition are processed separately, the classification performance is comparable to, or better than, the performance when the data… Advisors/Committee Members: Walsh, John MacLaren.

▼ In hydraulics, velocity distribution is needed to determine flow characteristics, like discharge, sediment discharge, head loss, energy coefficient, moment coefficient, and scour. However, the complicated interaction between water and sediment causes great difficulties in the measurement of flow and sediment discharge. Thus, the development of a method which can simulate the velocity distribution and sediment discharge in open channels is designable. Traditional methods for the estimation of velocity distribution, such as the Prandtl-von Karman logarithmic velocity and of sediment concentration distribution, such as the Rouse equation, are generally invalid at or near the channel bed and are inaccurate at the water surface. Considering the limitations of traditional methods, entropy based models have been applied, yet the assumption on the cumulative distribution function made in these methods limits their application. The objective of this research is to develop an efficient method to estimate velocity distribution and suspended sediment discharge in open channels using the Tsallis entropy. This research focuses on a better-organized hypothesis on the cumulative probability distribution function under more applicable coordinates, which should be transformable in different dimensions. Velocity distribution and sediment distribution are derived using the Tsallis entropy under the hypothesis that the cumulative probability distribution follows a non-linear function, in which the value of the exponent is shown to be related to the width-depth ratio of channel cross-section. Three different combinations of entropy and empirical methods for velocity and sediment concentration distribution are applied to compute suspended sediment discharge. Then advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. The velocity distribution derived using the Tsallis entropy is expected to be easy to apply and valid throughout the whole cross-section of the open channel. This research contributes to the application of entropy theory and shows its advantages in hydraulic engineering. Advisors/Committee Members: Singh, Vijay P. (advisor), Wurbs, Ralph A.

▼ Structural material fatigue is a leading cause of failure and has motivated fatigue-resistant design to eliminate risks to human lives. Intrinsic microstructural features alter fatigue deformation mechanisms so profoundly that, essentially, fatigue properties of structural materials become deviant. With this in mind, we initiated this project to investigate the microstructural effect on fatigue behavior of potential structural high entropy alloys. With a better understanding of the effect of microstructure features on fatigue properties, the ultimate goal was to engineer the microstructure to enhance the fatigue life of structural materials. The effects of two major deformation mechanisms presented here are twinning-induced fatigue crack retardation, and transformation-induced fatigue crack retardation. The fundamental principle of both mechanisms is to delay the fatigue crack propagation rate by altering the work hardening ability locally within the crack plastic zone. In ultrafine grained triplex Al0.3CoCrFeNi, nano-sized deformation twins were observed during cyclic loading in FCC matrix due to low stacking fault energy (SFE). The work-hardening ability of the material near the crack was sustained with the formation of twins according to Considere's criteria. Further, due to the ultrafine-grained (UFG) nature of the material, fatigue runout stress was enhanced. In a coarse-grained, dual-phase high entropy alloy, persistent slip bands formed in FCC matrix during cyclic loading due mainly to the slight composition change that affects the SFE in the FCC matrix and eventually alters the deformation mechanism. Another way known to alter an alloy's work hardening (WH) ability is transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP). In some alloys, phase transformation happens due to strain localization, which alters the work-hardening ability. iii In a fine-grained, dual-phase metastable high entropy alloy, gamma (f.c.c.) to epsilon (h.c.p.) transformation occurred in the plastic zone that was induced from cracks. Thus, we designed a Cu-containing FeMnCoCrSi high entropy alloy that exhibited a normalized fatigue ratio of ~ 0.62 UTS (ultimate tensile strength). Our design approach was based on (a) engineering the gamma phase stability to attain sustained work hardening through delayed gamma (f.c.c.) to epsilon (h.c.p.) transformation to hinder fatigue crack propagation, (b) incorporating an ultrafine-grained microstructure to delay crack initiation, and (c) forming deformation twins to reduce the crack propagation rate. We verified that a UFG gamma dominant microstructure could provide opportunities for exceptional fatigue resistance, as sustained WH activity strengthened the material locally in the crack plastic zone, thereby validating our expectation that the combination of UFG and TRIP is a path to design the next generation of fatigue-resistant alloys.

▼ he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is called work currency of the body, while the remainder is released as heat. Earlier literature introduced availability concepts from thermodynamics, related the specific irreversibility and entropy generation rate to metabolic efficiency, and energy release rate of each organ, and computed whole body specific entropy generation rate at any given age as a sum of entropy generation within four vital organs; Brain, Heart, Kidney, Liver and the rest of organs. The current work includes the effects of i) two additional organs: adipose tissue and skeletal muscles, for application to athletes, ii) proportions of nutrients oxidized which affects blood temperature and metabolic efficiencies, iii) converts the entropy stress from organ/cellular level to mitochondrial level, and iv) relates these parameters as biomarkers in biological aging process. Based on 7 organ model, considering a male of 84 kg steady mass, the lifetime energy expenditure is estimated to be 2726.46 MJ/kg body mass, with contributions of 86.4, 825.8, 274.8, 131.4, 316.4, 661.1, 430.4 MJ to each unit body mass by Adipose Tissue, Brain, Heart, Kidney, Liver, Rest of Mass, Skeletal Muscle, while lifetime entropy generated 6051 kJ/(K kg body mass) with contributions of 191.7, 1832.7, 610, 291.7, 702.3, 1467.2, 955.2 kJ/K to each unit body mass. Based on mitochondrial volume and 5 organ model, the lifetime energy expenditure is estimated to be 15529.6 MJ/ cm3 of mitochondrial volume of whole body, with contributions of 8250, 2435, 3040, 1805, 1.9E-05 MJ to each unit volume of mitochondria in organs, serving as biomarkers in the biological aging process of organs, while lifetime entropy generated is 34465 kJ/(K cm³ of mitochondrial volume) with contributions of 18310, 5400, 6740, 4010.5, 4.3E-05 kJ/K respectively to each unit of mitochondrial volume. The organ entropy stress ranking based on unit volume of mitochondria within an organ {kJ/ (K cm³ of mito of organ k) show brain being highest and liver lowest.

▼ This study investigates the extent to which neighborhoods that are both racially and economically diverse, hereafter referred to as dually diverse neighborhoods, exist within the metropolitan landscape of the United States and what factors contribute to the emergence of such neighborhoods. Using the Neighborhood Change Database, this study defines what a diverse neighborhood is and gives a descriptive portrait of the characteristics of these neighborhoods. The entropy index (H) is used as the measure of neighborhood diversity because of its ability to take into account the presence of more than two groups, unlike other more commonly used measures of segregation or diversity. Dually diverse neighborhoods are operationalized as those neighborhoods having an entropy score greater than or equal to 0.69 on the racial measure and an entropy score greater than or equal to 0.87 on the income measure, which corresponds to a neighborhood archetype that is an easily understood, intuitively appealing mixture of both income and racial-ethnic groups. Results indicate that the presence of dually diverse neighborhoods has nearly doubled each decade between 1970 and 2000 and that more than half of dually diverse neighborhoods maintained their integrated status from 1990 to 2000. Regression analyses probing the predictors of dually diverse neighborhoods in metro areas examine whether metropolitan income distributions, metropolitan racial-ethnic diversity, household preferences for neighborhood diversity, immigration and metropolitan growth, housing market characteristics, and public policy interventions are correlated with the incidence of dually diverse neighborhoods in metro areas. Findings suggest that the most important predictor of dually diverse neighborhoods is the incidence of racially diverse neighborhoods in metro areas. The incidence of racially diverse neighborhoods in metro areas is in turn influenced by the presence of recently-arriving immigrants and growing income distribution congruence amongst the four racial-ethnic groups in the study. Implications for public policy are discussed, as well as a discussion of how this work compliments and expands the extant knowledge on diverse neighborhoods. Advisors/Committee Members: Mary C. Sengstock.
