Human beings are not only intelligent, but also comprise a social species capable of extensive cooperation. Moreover, they collaborate. Individual human efforts segregate into incongruous silos multimodal distributions expression and low performance. A psychological, economic mathematical review indicates that collaboration can integrate mental facilities congruent unimodal normal distribution ...

Abstract Quantum walks are powerful tools for building quantum search algorithms. However, these success probabilities far below 1. Amplitude amplification is usually used to amplify probability, but the souffl'e problem follows. Only stop at right step can we achieve a maximum probability. Otherwise, as number of steps increases, probability may decrease, which will cause troubles in practical...

In this paper, we give sequential and distributed dynamic data structures for finding nearest neighbors in certain growth restricted metrics. In particular, we give a sequential data structure that uses linear space, and requires O(log n) expected time and O(log n) time for lookups with high probability. This improved the results of Karger and Ruhl, whose data structure takes O(n logn) space wi...

irrigation requirement equals the difference between water requirement and effective rainfall which can be estimated by considering the water application efficiency. the values of water requirement and irrigation requirement of sugar beet have been reported using netwat program in different regions ofiran. however, the mean values were used in this program; therefore the values of water and irr...

Mining can propel economic growth, but often results in heavy metal releases, that could negatively impact human health. Using a differencein-differences strategy we estimate the impact of gold mining on the health of newborns in Colombia. We find heterogeneous effects depending on where mothers are located with respect to a mine. Mothers living in the vicinity of a mine are positively affected...

due to the nature of the sediment data, selection of appropriate methods for processing the data before entering them to the artificial intelligence models can enhance the reliability of simulations results. in this study, the effects of sediment data processing procedures on ann and anfis models outputs in 7 dez basin stations were evaluated. accordingly, three scenarios were considered: in th...

We study the problem of contention resolution for differentsized jobs on a simple channel. When a job makes a run attempt, it learns only whether the attempt succeeded or failed. We first analyze binary exponential backoff, and show that it achieves a makespan of V 2 √ log n) with high probability, where V is the total work of all n contending jobs. This bound is significantly larger than when ...
