Sociologist Talcott Parsons observed that social institutions have two functions: the written “manifest” function and the unwritten “latent” function. In many cases, the latent function is as ...
This paper presents two sets of considerations on the use of approximations to estimate freight trip generation (FTG) and freight generation (FG) rates, based on a single variable. Following recent ...
Apple's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models feature an Action button to which you can assign a custom function. Officially, the Action button only supports one function, but there is a way to switch ...
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new dimension reduction strategy for medium and large-scale linear programming problems. The proposed method uses a subset of the original constraints and combines two ...
Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing the ...
Correlation is a statistical measure that represents the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. When analyzing data, it’s often useful to determine if a connection exists ...
Assessing and modeling precipitation in mountainous areas remains a major challenge in glacier mass balance modeling. Observations are typically scarce and reanalysis data and similar climate products ...
Abstract: In this paper a novel method for hardware-based realization of two-variable numeric functions is introduced. The main idea is based on the extension of the well-known piecewise linear ...
