Restricted optimal pebbling is NP-hard
Consider a distribution of pebbles on a graph. A pebbling move removes two pebbles from a vertex and place one at an adjacent vertex. A vertex is reachable under a pebble distribution if it has a pebble after the application of a sequence of pebbling moves. A pebble distribution is solvable if each vertex is reachable under it.

On the Complexity of Optimal k-Anonymity: A New Proof Based on Graph Coloring
Privacy is a complex balancing problem between risks and utility of data. K-anonymity, a fundamental model for preserving privacy, guarantees that an item cannot be differentiated from at least k-1 other items.

Identification and signatures based on NP-hard problems of indefinite quadratic forms
We prove NP-hardness of equivalence and representation problems of quadratic forms under probabilistic reductions, in particular for indefinite, ternary quadratic forms with integer coefficients.

Unshuffling a square is NP-hard
A shuffle of two strings is formed by interleaving the characters into a new string, keeping the characters of each string in order. A string is a square if it is a shuffle of two identical strings. There is a known polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm to determine if a given string z is the shuffle of two given strings x,y; however, it has ...

We previously reported that the bioavailability (BA) of irbesartan (IRB), a BSC class II drug, was improved by preparing nanocrystalline suspensions. However, nanocrystalline suspensions have chemical and physical instabilities and must be converted into

An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

A Survey on Approximation in Parameterized Complexity: Hardness and Algorithms
Parameterization and approximation are two popular ways of coping with NP-hard problems. More recently, the two have also been combined to derive many interesting results.
