A Resource Efficient Ising Model‐Based Quantum Sudoku Solver
Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Quantum algorithms exploit superposition and parallelism to address complex combinatorial problems, many of which fall into the non‐polynomial (NP) class. Sudoku, a widely known logic‐based puzzle, is proven to be NP‐complete and thus presents a suitable testbed for exploring quantum optimization approaches.

Bio‐Inspired Optimisation Methods Applied to Low Carbon Power and Energy Problems: A Survey
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bio‐inspired optimisation methods have been widely applied to complex real‐world problems, particularly in low‐carbon power and energy systems, where optimisation tasks often involve high‐dimensional, constrained and mixed‐integer characteristics.

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

EuroChoices, EarlyView.Summary Modernising the European Union’s plant variety registration system is critical to enabling the development and adoption of sustainable, climate‐resilient varieties aligned with the EU Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. However, the current system is outdated and under increasing pressure. While legislative reform is underway, key points of divergence among

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms
Decision Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,
