Quay crane efficiency is the key bottleneck for container port productivity. An important issue of container terminal optimization is the quay crane double-cycling problem (QCDCP). For the simple ...

Because type 1 diabetes can be very difficult to effectively manage in children and adolescents, these study investigators compared outcomes between a hybrid closed-loop algorithm add-on and usual ...

Recent developments in atomic-force microscopy have enabled researchers to apply mechanical forces to individual molecules to induce chemical reactions. A research team has now developed a ...

In the (deletion-channel) trace reconstruction problem, there is an unknown n-bit source string x. An algorithm is given access to independent traces of x, where a trace is formed by deleting each bit ...
