The problem of effect polymorphism is a major obstacle to wide adoption of effect systems in the programming community. The absence of effect systems reduces compiler optimization opportunities and disables effect constraints on APIs in parallel and distri ...
Traditional simulated annealing uses thermal fluctuations for convergence in optimization problems. Quantum tunneling provides a different mechanism for moving between states, with the potential for reduced time scales and different outcomes. Thermal and q ...
The morphology of street patterns has been the subject of many studies in recent decades. While some have noted the textural and morphological differences in various parts of many cities, there have been few attempts to quantify the street patterns that co ...
Street networks are one of the very few types of complex networks where the history of the network can be traced over long periods of time. Here we introduce methods for quantifying the geometric characteristics of street networks and analyze the details o ...
The CHEASE code, which has been developed at the Swiss Plasma Center, generates an accurate reconstruction of toroidal magnetohydrodynamics equilibria by numerically solving the Grad-Shafranov equation. Having demonstrated its ability to achieve good conve ...
Generalized versions of the entropic (Hirschman-Beckner) and support (Elad-Bruckstein) uncertainty principle are presented for frames representations. Moreover, a sharpened version of the support inequality is obtained by introducing a generalization of th ...
In this study, we used the ORACLE (Optimization and Risk Analysis of Complex Living Entities)[1] framework to study the impact of extracellular acetic acid on the S. cerevisiae metabolism with the aim to improve ethanol production in the presence of this i ...
The entropy power inequality (EPI) yields lower bounds on the differential entropy of the sum of two independent real-valued random variables in terms of the individual entropies. Versions of the EPI for discrete random variables have been obtained for spe ...

The coil to globule transition is a fundamental phenomenon in the physics of macro-molecules by reason of the multiplicity of arrangements of their conformation. Such conformational freedom is the main source of entropy in the molecule and is the main oppo ...
Various aspects of the built environment have important effects on ecology. Providing suitable metrics for the built forms so as to quantify and model their internal relations and external ecological footprints, however, remains a challenge. Here we provid ...
