Joaquim de Almeida was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Son of two pharmacists and the sixth of eight kids, Joaquim showed signs at an early age that his future lay not in the family business. At the age of ...

Abstract: Automorphism-ensemble decoding is applied to the Plotkin constituents of Reed-Muller codes, resulting in a new soft-decision decoding algorithm with state-of-the-art performance versus ...

In modern history, four great empires have risen and fallen: Ottoman, Mughal, Qing China and British. A fifth stands at its apogee but also at a precipice: the United States. Can America’s fall be ...
