Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…The Flexible Job Scheduling problem aims at determining the starting times of flexible jobs that do not have to be started immediately at their arrivals to minimize the span of all the jobs, where the span is the time duration in which at least one job is running. …”

Data-driven methods to predict the stability metrics of catalytic nanoparticles by Prabhu, Asmee M., Choksi, Tej S.

“…Ab initio methods can calculate these metrics but are computationally intensive due to the large configurational space that these nanostructures span. Moreover, sub-nanometer nanoparticles are structurally flexibile under reaction conditions. …”

Intermittent demand forecasting by Mishra, Prerna.

“…The project paper deals with comparative assessment of the of forecast for “in-sample” as well as “out of sample” periods derived by various methods of intermittent demand forecasting on historical data set of fifteen hundred products for a span of twenty four months obtained by several numerical modelling tools – classical to contemporary and evaluate the superiority of models by comparison of achievement of different methods in respect of degree of accuracy of forecast for future periods and judge the robustness of forecasting methodology.…”

Analysis of Λ b 0 → pK−μ+μ− decays by Aaij, R., Abdelmotteleb, A. S. W., Abellan Beteta, C., Abudinén, F., Ackernley, T., Adefisoye, A. A., Adeva, B., Adinolfi, M., Adlarson, P., Agapopoulou, C., Aidala, C. A., Ajaltouni, Z., Akar, S., Akiba, K., Albicocco, P., Albrecht, J., The LHCb collaboration

“…The data are consistent with receiving contributions from a mixture of Λ resonances with different spin-parity quantum numbers. The angular coefficients show a pattern of vector-axial vector interference that is a characteristic of the type of flavour-changing neutral-current transition relevant for these decays.…”
