Zoraptera, also known as angel insects or ground lice, are tiny termite-like insects generally found underneath bark or in ...

Abstract: Clouds, such as Amazon Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds and EMC Hybrid Cloud, impose growing requirements of resource-efficiency scheduling. The bounded flexible scheduling (BFS) ...

Fusion energy has always had a tritium problem. The fuel that powers every leading reactor design barely exists on Earth in usable quantities, and the best candidate for breeding it inside a reactor — ...

British American Tobacco rated Sell: vapour/heated growth unclear, margins diluted, and regulatory headwinds despite a 5.4% ...

Abstract: One of the most natural optimization problems is the k-SET PACKING problem, where given a family of sets of size at most k one should select a maximum size subfamily of pairwise disjoint ...

We introduce the heat method for solving the single- or multiple-source shortest path problem on both flat and curved domains. A key insight is that distance computation can be split into two stages: ...

Shor’s algorithm for factoring RSA-2048 (and related problems like elliptic-curve discrete logs) has seen dramatic reductions ...

Understanding how firms build their capabilities, such as managerial skills, technology adoption and innovation capacity, is ...

Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and ...

There are some obvious big picture issues that stand between us and useful quantum computing. Issues like whether we can make ...
