Nano-adsorbent Modification by Deep Eutectic Solvents for Wastewater Treatment Applications
PublicationThe Greek “εύ” and “τήξις” term is the root of the “eutectic” word that refers to the low melting of mixture. Generally, an eutectic solvent depicts a mixture of components (at least one is in solid phase) that under particular ratios weak molecular interactions allow to obtain a mixture having melting point at a much lower temperature than that of each component (García-Álvarez 2019). Although A. P. Abbott et al. discovered the...

Noisy (Binary) Searching: Simple, Fast and Correct
PublicationThis work considers the problem of the noisy binary search in a sorted array. The noise is modeled by a parameter p that dictates that a comparison can be incorrect with probability p, independently of other queries. We state two types of upper bounds on the number of queries: the worst-case and expected query complexity scenarios. The bounds improve the ones known to date, i.e., our algorithms require fewer queries. Additionally,...
