In the search for the low-complexity sequences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes: how to derive a coherent picture from global and local entropy measures
Claudia Acquisti, Paolo Allegrini, Patrizia Bogani +6
We investigate on a possible way to connect the presence of Low-Complexity Sequences (LCS) in DNA genomes and the nonstationary properties of base correlations. Under the hypothesi…
Detection of invisible and crucial events: from seismic fluctuations to the war against terrorism
Paolo Allegrini, Leone Fronzoni, Paolo Grigolini +5
We prove the efficiency of a new method for the detection of crucial events that might have useful applications to the war against terrorism. This has to do with the search for rar…
From Knowledge, Knowability and the Search for Objective Randomness to a New Vision of Complexity
Paolo Allegrini, Martina Giuntoli, Paolo Grigolini +1
Herein we consider various concepts of entropy as measures of the complexity of phenomena and in so doing encounter a fundamental problem in physics that affects how we understand…
Short- and Long-Term Statistical Properties of Heartbeat Time-Series in Healthy and Pathological Subjects
Paolo Allegrini, Rita Balocchi, Santi Chillemi +3
We analize heartbeat time-series corresponding to several groups of individuals (healthy, heart transplanted, with congestive heart failure (CHF), after myocardial infarction (MI),…
