Resource distillation in convex Gaussian resource theories

Effective Topic Distillation with Key Resource Pre-selection

Topic distillation aims at finding key resources which are high-quality pages for certain topics. With analysis in non-content features of key resources, a pre-selection method is introduced in topic distillation research. A decision tree is constructed to locate key resource pages using query-independent non-content features including in-degree, document length, URL-type and two new features w...

Reversible Framework for Quantum Resource Theories.

In recent years it has been recognized that properties of physical systems such as entanglement, athermality, and asymmetry, can be viewed as resources for important tasks in quantum information, thermodynamics, and other areas of physics. This recognition was followed by the development of specific quantum resource theories (QRTs), such as entanglement theory, determining how quantum states th...

Toward physical realizations of thermodynamic resource theories

Conventional statistical mechanics describes large systems and averages over many particles or over many trials. But work, heat, and entropy impact the small scales that experimentalists can increasingly control, e.g., in single-molecule experiments. The statistical mechanics of small scales has been quantified with two toolkits developed in quantum information theory: resource theories and one...

Social Consideration in the Creativity: Resource Orientation

Resource Mobilization Theory: Political Movement in Egypt

This paper discusses the application of the resource mobilization theory (RMT) to clarify the activities of certain key socio-political groups and movements in Egypt up till 2011. It contends that the political movements in the country have utilized information and communication technologies (ICTs) and social networks sites (SNSs) as a tool for mobilizing people and coordinating anti-regime act...
