Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Abstract: Metaheuristic algorithms have demonstrated strong effectiveness in solving complex real-world optimization problems. This paper presents two discrete metaheuristic approaches for the ...

Abstract: Conventional relay layout optimization methods exhibit significant limitations in addressing the multi-tiered and multi-objective requirements of power distribution systems, making it ...

State-of-the-art techniques for pavement performance evaluation have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can simulate the human brain to discover hidden ...

In a bid to treat blindness, Life Biosciences will try out potent cellular reprogramming technology on volunteers. When Elon Musk was at Davos last week, an interviewer asked him if he thought aging ...

This project implements a 2D pore-throat network extraction algorithm for porous media images. It uses a modified watershed segmentation approach based on Distance Transform and H-maxima markers to ...
