This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

An algorithm scanned 78 million genetic variants and found patterns that shouldn't exist. Most human DNA tells a familiar ...

Perfect randomness sounds simple, until you try to make it. A die can be polished, balanced and rolled thousands of times.

ETH Zurich scientists for the first time created certified perfect random numbers using entangled quantum chips.

Random number generators have been around for ages, but they often have subtle imperfections that cause patterns to emerge.

Creating perfect randomness is surprisingly difficult. Even modern random number generators never generate completely ideal ...

Sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems is an important project, directly addressing the physics community’s long-standing goal of data-driven discovery. Although many effective methods ...

At 54, freshly divorced and ready to try dating again, I did what most people do – I downloaded Tinder. Three months of ...

Instagram was once seen as a platform that genuinely promoted talent and creativity. For aspiring artists, filmmakers, dancers, musicians, photographers, editors, and creators who lacked industry ...

Abstract: Evolutionary algorithms make countless random decisions during selection, mutation, and crossover operations. These random decisions require a steady stream of random numbers. We analyze the ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...
