Knowledge Gradient Procedure to Select the Best System Under Pairwise Comparisons

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article considers fixed‐budget ranking and selection (R&S) problems where the performance of alternative designs can only be assessed through pairwise comparisons, a setting encountered in many applications, including player ranking in games, sports tournaments, recommender systems, image‐based search, public choice models such as voting ...

A Quantum Algorithm for the Classification of Patterns of Boolean Functions

open access: yesMathematics
This paper introduces a novel quantum algorithm that is able to classify a hierarchy of classes of imbalanced Boolean functions. The fundamental characteristic of imbalanced Boolean functions is that the proportion of elements in their domain that take ...

On the Complexity of the Bilevel Shortest Path Problem

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce a new bilevel version of the classic shortest path problem and completely characterize its computational complexity with respect to several problem variants. In our problem, the leader and the follower each control a subset of the edges of a graph and together aim at building a path between two given vertices, while each of the ...

Inter‐population variation in demographic responses to environmental changes: insights from four seabird populations

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The variability in responses to environmental change between populations remains poorly quantified and understood. This shortcoming has major consequences, as variation and flexibility of life‐history traits between populations contribute to the estimation of the adaptive potential, which is necessary for predicting the responses of interconnected ...

Stories of coexistence: A narrative inquiry of leopard attacks on people

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pursuing human–wildlife coexistence is particularly challenging for carnivore species as conflict can negatively impact human livelihood and well‐being. Understanding the social context of how communities perceive conflicts with carnivores, often witnessed in their folklore and stories, can shed light on pathways for fostering coexistence.

Metaproteomic Dataset on Semi‐Diurnal Variability of the Bacterioplankton Communities During a Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in the North Sea

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton blooms create a substrate‐rich environment that supports the growth of bacterial planktonic heterotrophs. Previously, we studied the dynamics of such bacterioplankton at a long‐term ecological research site near the coast of Helgoland Island (North Sea) once a day.
