We show that the combination of dynamic programming with partial-order decomposition algorithms enables us to solve sequencing problems in polynomial time for substantially larger classes of ...

Recent developments in atomic-force microscopy have enabled researchers to apply mechanical forces to individual molecules to induce chemical reactions. A research team has now developed a ...
