We consider digitized-counterdiabatic quantum computing as an advanced paradigm to approach advantage for industrial applications in the NISQ era. apply this concept investigate a discrete mean-variance portfolio optimization problem, showing its usefulness key finance application. Our analysis shows drastic improvement success probabilities of resulting digital algorithm when approximate count...

Phantom limb pain in amputee patients is not well defined in the literature. Also there is still no clear information on the definition and treatment of phantom radicular pain, in which amputee patients also have radicular pain. This phenomenon, called phantom radiculitis or phantom radiculopathy, has been described in a limited number of cases. If a pathological condition to cause radicular pa...

Note taking is a fundamental activity for learning, and many software tools which enable students to take digitized notes have been proposed. Digitized notes are advantageous because they can be easily edited, rearranged, and shared. Although many note-taking tools have been proposed, there has been little research to examine the effect of note annotation and rearrangement with a digitized tool...

Digital libraries increasingly host collections that are archival in nature, and contain digitized and born-digital materials. In order to preserve the evidentiary value of these materials, the collection organization must capture the general context and preserve the relationships among objects. Archival processing is a well-established method for organizing collections this way. However, the c...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of phantom limb exercises on phantom limb pain. METHODS A total of 20 traumatic amputees participated in the study. Ten received phantom exercises and prosthetic training, and 10 were treated with routine prosthetic training and a general exercise programme. Intensity of pain was evaluated using a 10-cm visual analogue scale before therapy and after 4 week...

When I looked at them, I was sure that there must be a bug either in IDEAL or in the TROFF processor that typeset the IDEAL output, because the long shafts of the arrows did not properly bisect the angle made by the two short lines of the arrowheads. The shafts seemed to be drawn one pixel too high or too low. Chris spent many hours together with Brian Kernighan trying to find out what was wron...
