Beyond Surface Modulus: Shape-Aware Crack-Index Assessment of Mass Concrete Foundations Under Early-Age Thermal Stress

Abstract Early-age thermal cracking is a major serviceability and durability concern in mass-concrete foundations, especially under hot-weather construction conditions. Although surface modulus is widely used as a massivity descriptor, its ability to predict stress-based cracking...

Prefix-sum encoding for quantum annealing with application to haplotype inference

Quantum annealing promises advantages for combinatorial optimization, but current hardware remains limited by sparse qubit connectivity. Encoding constrained problems onto these devices typically requires auxiliary variables that introduce dense couplings, degrading performance....
