The hierarchical quorum consensus (HQC) algorithm, which is a generalization of the standard quorum consensus algorithm for managing replicated data, can reduce the quorum size to NO.‘j”. This paper analyzes the message complexity of HQC. Moreover, an asymptotic analysis on the ratio of the message complexity to the quorum size is presented. It is shown that the ratio converges to a constant.

We investigate what it takes for the axion to address strong $CP$ problem in presence of explicit Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking effects besides interaction. In cases where Peccei-Quinn-Higgsing scalar field directly couples Standard Model sector, is pointed out that existing fifth force experiments can set better constraints on quality over neutron electric dipole moment.

Where do we go from here? While risk equalisation has been given legal backing by the Irish High Court and the European Court of First Instance, the Supreme Court judgment is still awaited, and it remains to be seen whether the Court of First Instance judgment will be appealed to the European Court of Justice. Further legal challenges are also pending in the Irish courts, and Sean Quinn, Chairm...
