Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

A major bottleneck in implementing sampling as a primitive relational operation is the inefficiency of sampling the output of a query. It is not even known whether it is possible to generate a sample ...

ABSTRACT: This study develops and empirically tests a unified model for enhancing the capacity of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry of emerging economies. Using data ...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a classical algorithm for random sampling of permutations, drawing inspiration from the Steinhaus-Johnson-Trotter algorithm. Our approach takes a comprehensive ...

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer, and HPV self-sampling has emerged as a novel screening method with the potential to increase screening ...

Compared to structured ocean environments, unstructured ocean environments are inherently more complex. In such unstructured environments, the presence of narrow waterways poses unique navigational ...

Scientists from the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Masaryk University recently tested various saliva sampling methods to optimize bile acid analysis. Scientists ...

Quantum computers are a revolutionary technology that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations that would be infeasible for classical computers. Evaluating the performance ...
