While todays orthography is very strict and seldom changes, this has not always been true. In historical texts spelling of words often not only varies from todays but in some periods even varies from use to use in a single text. Information retrieval on historical corpora can deal with these variations using fuzzy matching techniques based on Levenshtein-Distance using stochastic weights. In pa...

Performance optimization remains one of the key issues in parallel computing. Many parallel applications do not benefit from the continually increasing peak performance of todays massively parallel computers, mainly because they have not been designed to operate efficiently on the 1000s of processors of todays top of the range systems. Conventional performance analysis is typically restricted t...

Experiments at particle colliders have reached center of mass energies well above 100 GeV, equivalent to temperatures which existed shortly after the big bang. These experiments, testing the initial conditions of the universe have, with great precision, established the Standard Model of Particle Physics. In contrast, the existence of the Higgs boson and perhaps Supersymmetry remain speculative,...

In todays manufacturing industry, high-speed milling plays an important role. The main benefits of high-speed milling over conventional milling are the high material removal rates with relatively low cutting forces. The efficiency of high-speed milling is limited by the occurrence of regenerative chatter. Chatter is an undesired instability phenomenon, causing excessive tool vibrations, reduced...

Evolutionary and swarm algorithms have found many applications in design problems since todays computing power enables these algorithms to find solutions to complicated design problems very fast. Newly proposed hybridalgorithm, bat algorithm, has been applied for the design of microwave microstrip couplers for the first time. Simulation results indicate that the bat algorithm is a very fast alg...
