Abstract: Renyi entropy was discovered by the Hungarian mathematician Alfred Renyi in 1961 as a measure of information alternative to Shannon entropy when one desires only a weaker form of additivity as opposed to strong additivity. Relative alpha-entropy is the Renyi analogue of relative entropy (Kullback-Leibler divergence). In this talk I will discuss four problems, namely Campbell’s source coding problem, Massey-Arikan’s guessing problem, Huieihel et al.’s memoryless guessing problem, and Bunte-Lapidoth’s encoding of tasks problem.

Abstract:
Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) based energy conversion systems can be broadly classified into stand alone systems and grid connected systems. Stand alone PV systems are very useful for generation and supply of electrical energy to remote locations where access to the conventional power grid is limited. Where as grid connected solar PV renewable energy conversion is very common in micro grid systems, conventional grid systems and distributed generation.

Abstract:
Recent advancements in spectroscopic methods and various physical
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) refer to the covalent addition of functional groups onto a protein. They offer another dimension to the functional diversity of the proteins and allow them to do chemistry that is otherwise difficult. Thus, a deeper understanding on the regulatory mechanism of different PTMs can provide critical insights into various underlying cellular processes. In this talk, I will share two PTM-related stories from a chemical biology standpoint.
