Importance sampling for stochastic quantum simulations [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2023
Simulating many-body quantum systems is a promising task for quantum computers. However, the depth of most algorithms, such as product formulas, scales with the number of terms in the Hamiltonian, and can therefore be challenging to implement on near ...

Flood changed the community composition and increased the importance of stochastic process of vegetation and seed bank in a riparian ecosystem of the Yellow River

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Changes in riparian plant community composition and species richness are anticipated as a result of future projected increases in the risk of flood disasters in riparian ecosystems, but the extent and direction of these changes remain uncertain. In this study, we established four blocks comprising six plots in each block to investigate communities of ...

On the Cooperation Between Evolutionary Algorithms and Constraint Handling Techniques: A Further Empirical Study

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Cooperation between Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) and Constraint Handling Techniques (CHTs) plays an important role in Constrained Optimization Evolutionary Algorithms (COEAs). A constrained composite differential evolution (C2oDE) sets a good example on

Stochastic DEMATEL for structural modeling of a complex problematique for realizing safe, secure and reliable society

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2005
In this paper we propose a revised Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), called stochastic DEMATEL, to extract structural model of a complex problematique and to represent the priority of each factor taking into account the ...

Decision support for extracting and dissolving consumers’ uneasiness over foods using stochastic DEMATEL

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2006
In this paper we try to extract consumers’ uneasy factors on foods such as carcinogenic substance, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) problem, genetic recombination, etc., and try to construct structural models among these uneasy factors using ...

Stress concentration in nonlinear viscoelastic composites

open access: yesMechanics and Advanced Technologies, 2017
A nonlinear viscoelastic problem of the mechanics of composites is solved within the framework of a second-order nonlinear theory. A viscoelastic functional is used to construct general defining relations.

Future volcanic eruptions may delay the recovery of lower stratospheric ozone over Antarctica and Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Sporadic explosive volcanic eruptions can inject large amounts of sulfur into the stratosphere, which forms volcanic sulfate aerosols with the potential to affect stratospheric ozone chemistry.

A Multi-Attribute Expansion Planning Model for Integrated Gas–Electricity System

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Gas-fired power plants are environmentally friendly because of their high efficiency rates and low CO2 emissions. On the other hand, the output power of renewable generators is stochastic, meaning that additional capacity must be held in reserve ...

From individual leaves to forest stands: importance of niche, distance decay, and stochasticity vary by ecosystem type and functional group for fungal community composition

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Ecology
Abstract Community assembly is influenced by environmental niche processes as well as stochastic processes that can be spatially dependent (e.g. dispersal limitation) or independent (e.g. priority effects). Here, we sampled senesced tree leaves as unit habitats to investigate fungal community assembly at two spatial scales: (i) small ...
