Optimal Partitioning of Quantum Circuits Using Gate Cuts and Wire Cuts by Sebastian Brandhofer, Ilia Polian, Kevin Krsulich

“…In this work, we develop the first optimal partitioning method relying on quantum circuit knitting for optimal cut realizations and an optimal selection of wire cuts and gate cuts that trades off ancilla qubit insertions for a decrease in quantum computing time. Using this combination, the developed method demonstrates a reduction in quantum computing runtime by 41% on average compared to previous quantum circuit partitioning methods. …”

BER performance analysis of polar-coded FBMC/OQAM in the presence of AWGN and Nakagami-m fading channel by Tadele A. Abose, Fanuel O. Ayana, Thomas O. Olwal, Yihenew W. Marye

“…It offers several advantages over traditional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, including higher spectral efficiency, lower out-of-band emission, and improved robustness to time-frequency selective channels. Polar codes, a new class of error-correcting codes, have received much attention recently due to their ability to achieve the Shannon limit with practical decoding complexity. …”

Indigenizing Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition: A Review of the Literature by Peyton Juhnke, Tobin LeBlanc Haley

“…Providing a careful review of this literature contributes a missing map of this field of scholarship and shares key insights for scholars. This is a timely contribution. While the assessment of prior learning has been in practice for decades, this practice has excluded (and continues to exclude) the knowledges of those who remain underrepresented within higher education. …”

Business Incubators in Russia: 2020 Survey in International Comparative Perspective by M. A. Slesarev

“…The surveys contain a wide range of questions covering essential aspects of business incubators' activities, including BI program, clients, environment, effectiveness, and finance.The study shows that business incubators in Russia have undergone several external positive changes, including increased square space, staff quantity, the average annual number of residents, the annual budget, etc. At the same time, the total number of business incubators also significantly dropped, which means that all of the above positive changes do not reflect the growth of the business incubation market and the scaling of the most effective structures; on the contrary, it is an optimization.As a result of the study, we formulate several additional questions for future research and study to understand better the challenges business incubators currently face in Russia, the reasons for their recent consolidation, and possible ways out.…”

La diversion comme genre : L’écriture et ses labyrinthes à l’époque élisabéthaine by Sophie Chiari-Lasserre

“…The image of the labyrinth was chosen for a variety of reasons: derived from classical sources, sometimes representing chaos, sometimes standing for a complex harmony, this rich, ambivalent figure was at the same time attractive and repulsive. Gradually, the myth pervaded reality: under the Tudors, several kinds of mazes entertained Shakespeare’s compatriots. …”
