ABSTRACT: The accurate prediction of backbreak, a crucial parameter in mining operations, has a significant influence on safety and operational efficiency. The occurrence of this phenomenon is ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Hey! I noticed that the repo doesn’t yet have Dijkstra’s Algorithm, which is super useful for finding the shortest path in weighted graphs. I’d love to add it. Here’s what I plan to do: Implement ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

In the Dijkstra algorithm, when a shorter path to a neighbor is found, the neighbor's priority in the priority queue should be updated regardless of whether it is already present in the queue. In this ...

Spell checking is such a ubiquitous feature of today's software that we expect to see it in browsers and basic text editors, and on just about every computing device. However, 50 years ago, it was a ...

The looming challenges of quantum computing have prompted the Java Platform to implement two advanced cryptographic solutions in its upcoming release, Java 24, slated for March 2025. Quantum computers ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...
