Qubit‐Efficient Quantum Local Search for Combinatorial Optimization

Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
We introduce a qubit‐efficient variational quantum algorithm for combinatorial optimization that adaptively uses from logarithmic to a linear number of qubits to implement quantum local search. The method encodes flip probabilities of spin groups into quantum amplitudes, enabling exploration of classically intractable neighborhoods while maintaining ...

The Process of Felinization in the Digital Age: the Utilisation of Cats as a Strategy for the Formation of a New Identity

Corpus Mundi
The contemporary cultural practices associated with animals give rise to a novel dual concept of corporeality and sensuality. The growth of consumerism in accordance with the feline model of consumption gives rise to the formation of a society where the ...

Ideas are not replicators but minds are [PDF]

, 2004
An idea is not a replicator because it does not consist of coded self-assembly instructions. It may retain structure as it passes from one individual to another, but does not replicate it.

Energy‐aware flexible job shop scheduling problem with nonlinear routes and position‐based learning effect

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 860-891, March 2026.
Abstract Sustainability has become one of the main objectives in all human activities and, in particular, in manufacturing environments. In this paper, we consider the flexible job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing energy consumption.

A Hybrid Framework for Stock Price Forecasting Using Metaheuristic Feature Selection Approaches and Transformer Models Enhanced by Temporal Embedding and Attention Pruning

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Workflow of the proposed hybrid BWO‐Transformer framework for stock price prediction. ABSTRACT Accurately predicting stock prices remains a major challenge in financial analytics due to the complexity and noise inherent in market data. Feature selection plays a critical role in improving both computational efficiency and predictive performance. In this

‘The uses of ethnography in the science of cultural evolution’. Commentary on Mesoudi, A., Whiten, A. and K. Laland ‘Toward a unified science of cultural evolution’ [PDF]

, 2006
There is considerable scope for developing a more explicit role for ethnography within the research program proposed in the article. Ethnographic studies of cultural micro-evolution would complement experimental approaches by providing insights into the “

A Computationally Efficient Stochastic Method for Quantifying the Effects of Multi‐Surrogate Model Uncertainty on Saltwater Remediation Optimization

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Machine learning models are highly potential to substitute computationally intensive numerical simulation models in saltwater intrusion (SWI) remediation optimization. However, uncertainty inherent in machine learning models can propagate through predictions into optimization, resulting in inaccurate solutions.

Reinforcement Learning‐Assisted Meta‐Heuristics for Scheduling Job Shops With Material Handling Robots

IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study addresses an integrated job shop scheduling problem with material handling robots, aiming to minimise the maximum completion time. Three meta‐heuristics, seven local search strategies and two reinforcement learning algorithms are proposed to solve the problems.
