Why Do French Engineers Find Stable Jobs Faster than PhDs?

Why Don't More ICT Students Do PhDs?

Compared to many other disciplines, ICT has relat ively few students choosing to continue into doctoral studies. We have explored some of the perceived barriers to undertaking doctoral studies in ICT in three Australian universities. Current students were surveyed to establish their post-course intentions regarding employment and further study. Their reasons for not choosing to go onto research...

Why do Majorana Neutrinos Run Faster than Dirac Neutrinos?

The τ -lepton dominance in the one-loop renormalization-group equations (RGEs) of neutrinos sets a cute criterion to parametrize the 3 × 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix U : its elements U3i (for i = 1, 2, 3) should be as simple as possible. Such a novel parametrization is different from the “standard” one used in the literature and can lead to greatly simplified RGEs for three mixing angles and t...

Why Do Students Find Statistics So Difficult?

Do hypercubes sort faster than tree machines?

SUMMARY We develop a balanced, parallel quicksort algorithm for a hypercube and compare it with a similar algorithm for a binary tree machine. The performance of the hypercube algorithm is measured on a Computing Surface.

Do single photons tunnel faster than light?

Experiments done with single photons in the early 1990’s produced a surprising result: that single photons pass through a photonic tunnel barrier with a group velocity faster than the vacuum speed of light. This result has stimulated intense discussions related to causality, the speed of information transfer, the nature of barrier tunneling and the meaning of group velocity. The superluminality...
