Finding a good compiler autotuning methodology, particularly for selecting the right set of optimisations and finding best ordering these given code fragment has been long-standing problem. As rapid development machine learning techniques, tackling problem using or deep become increasingly common in recent years. There have many models proposed to solve problems, such as predicting optimal hete...

Would a reader be able to predict the branch of mathematics that is the subject of this article if its title had not included the phrase “in Number Theory”? The distinction “local” versus “global”, with various connotations, has found a home in almost every part of mathematics, local problems being often a stepping-stone to the more difficult global problems. To illustrate what the earthy geome...

This thesis covers a myriad of interconnected topics concerning biological micro-organisms and synthetic micro-robots. Via intricate propulsion strategies these micro-swimmers can move through strongly viscosity-dominated liquids to achieve their goals, be it to invade new territories or to deliver drugs to infected regions. Therefore, the understanding of bacterial motility immediately impacts...

Using the idea that life-history parameters are subject to natural selection and should approach values that are stable optima, with the population immune to invasion by mutant individuals, we derive an analytic expression for the evolutionarily stable dispersal rate in a stochastic island model with random site extinction. The results provide interesting contrasts between three different optim...

This paper examines the extent to which solo self-employment serves as a vehicle for job creation. Using panel data from Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, dynamic multinomial logit model of transitions between labour market states is estimated. The empirical strategy closely follows that used previous study employing household Germany by Lechmann Wunder (2017). ...
