Mineral resources and geo-engineering
Metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the Earth’s crust. Geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value.

Media firms are aware of consumers’ preferences and constraints, and decide on rankings of news items that maximize their profits. We find that, even when readers and out...

With the rapidly growing demand for the cloud services, a need for efficient methods to trade computing resources increases. Commonly used fixed-price model is not always the best approach for trading cloud resources, because of its inflexible and static nature. Dynamic trading systems, which make use of market mechanisms, show promise for more efficient resource allocation and pricing in the c...
