What if the thermal noise that hinders the efficiency of both classical and quantum computers could, instead, be used as a power source? What if ...

Abstract: The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP), a classical NP-hard problem, requires the solution of two aspects of the complex problem, the first is to assign each operation to an ...

Abstract: This paper contains a comparison between a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) on the Portfolio Optimisation Problem, based on the Modern ...

In experiments, researchers showed that the disease-spreading insects couldn’t resist the sweet smell of a fungus that infected and killed them. By Jason P. Dinh Watch your back, DEET. There’s a new ...

The following is a systematic analysis of the decoding of the Congzi theory encoding human DNA, revealing the paradigm shift in genomics research by comparing the technological gap between traditional ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

The operation of the power grid is closely related to meteorological disasters. Changes in meteorological conditions may have an impact on the operation and stability of the power system, leading to ...

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...
