When we transmit data over a noisy channel (e.g., satellite) to a receiver, we run the risk of our data becoming corrupted. Fixing the channel is not typically an option, so instead we must make our data noise-proof. A naive method of doing this is simply sending the same data multiple times. However, the benefit of the redundancy created may be offset by the cost of sending a lengthy message m...
متن کاملMr. Neville Chamberlain's Opportunity
Sir.?The aims of your paper in regard to the public health, as set out in your New Year's issue, are excellent.

Questions of housing and health must not, however, be allowed to become the playthings of politics. Every ...
متن کاملA Revolutionary Material
This is an expository introduction, for a general mathematics audience, to the modeling of the fluid/solid phase transition and in particular to complications created by the discovery of quasicrystals. One goal is to elucidate certain features of the modeling which are ripe for mathematical investigation. * Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-1208941 The 2011 Nobel prize for chemistry w...
متن کاملRevolutionary Science
On rare occasions in the history of science, remarkable discoveries transform human society and forever alter mankind's view of the world. Examples of such discoveries include the heliocentric theory, Newtonian physics, the germ theory of disease, quantum theory, plate tectonics and the discovery that DNA carries genetic information. The science philosopher Thomas Kuhn famously described scienc...
متن کاملRevolutionary Algorithms
The optimization of dynamic problems is both widespread and difficult. When conducting dynamic optimization, a balance between reinitialization and computational expense has to be found. There are multiple approaches to this. In parallel genetic algorithms, multiple sub-populations concurrently try to optimize a potentially dynamic problem. But as the number of sub-population increases, their e...
