The Hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) algorithm is a graph-based approximate nearest neighbor search technique used in many vector databases. Nearest neighbor search without an index involves computing the distance from the query to each point in the database, which for large datasets is computationally prohibi...

The resource fragmentation hypothesis was first proposed by Janzen & Pond (1975), and says that as species richness becomes large there is not a linear increase in the number of parasitoid species that can be supported. The mechanism for this hyperbolic relationship is suggested to be that each of the new host species ...

A Rydberg molecule is an electronically excited chemical species. Electronically excited molecular states are generally quite different in character from electronically excited atomic states. However, particularly for highly electronically excited molecular systems, the ionic core interaction with an excited electron c...

This is particularly true for Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy, since multiphoton processes involve different selection rules from single photon processes. The study of high principal quantum number Rydberg states has spawned a number of ...

Ecological sufficiency, or simply sufficiency, refers to the concept or strategy to reduce the environmental footprint of societies through moderating the need for energy, carbon and material-based services and products. The term was popularised by authors such as Thomas Princen, a professor at MIT, in his 2005 book Th...

For instance, France has published a National energy sufficiency plan in October 2022 (Plan national de sobriété énergétique). == Background == === Definitions === Sufficiency is a concept that relates both to an ideal and a strategy to achieve it. As a goal, sufficiency is about ensuring that all humans can live a goo...

it is strongly related to the concepts of voluntary simplicity and downshifting. === Energy sufficiency === The concept of sufficiency has been primarily developed in the area of energy consumption, where levels of greenhouse gas emissions far exceed what the planet may absorb and "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented...

== Sufficiency largely remains a blindspot in most established ecological/energy transition scenarios, where efficiency and greener technologies are the main and only strategies usually modelled. There are exceptions though. The French négaWatt Association has assessed the potential of energy sufficiency at the level o...

such as quality of life and work-life balance. Sufficiency, as a strategy, may also be operationalised through distinguishing between different approaches to limiting the need for energy/resource-intensive services: Reducing (i.e. consuming less); Substituting (replacing highly-consuming services by less intensive ones...

sufficiency trends. Three examples are: The growth of cycling for daily trips in an increasing number of cities worldwide; The "flight shame" movement; The reduction of average beef consumption in some countries (e.g. France). The role of intentionality in sufficiency is debated. While for many authors sufficiency requ...

As it builds on a sense of self and collective moderation in relation to the consumption of energy and material-based services, sufficiency requires drawing a line between wants seen as superfluous and actual justified needs. It triggers potentially complex and contentious theoretical and practical questions. Answers m...
