Entanglement and its role in Shor's algorithm
Authors: Kendon V.M. , Munro W.J.
Published: March 2021

Entanglement has been termed a critical resource for quantum information processing and is thought to be the reason that certain quantum algorithms, such as Shor's factoring algorithm, can achieve exponentially better performance than their classical counterparts. The nature of this resource is still not fully understood: here we use numerical simulation to investigate how entanglement between register qubits varies as Shor's algorithm is run on a quantum computer. The shifting patterns in the entanglement are found to relate to the choice of basis for the quantum Fourier transform.
Leveraging Surface Siloxide Electronics to Enhance Relaxation Properties of a Single-Molecule Magnet
Authors: Korzynski Maciej , Berkson Zachariah , Le Guennic Boris , Cador Olivier , Copéret Christophe
Published: March 2021

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) hold promise for unmatched information storage density as well as applications in quantum computing and spintronics. To date, the most successful SMMs are organometallic lanthanide complexes. However, their surface immobilization, one of the requirements for device fabrication and commercial application, remains challenging due to sensitivity of magnetic properties to small changes in the electronic structure of the parent SMM. Thus, finding controlled approaches to SMM surface deposition is a timely challenge. In this contribution we apply the concept of isolobality to identify siloxides present at the surface of partially dehydroxylated silica as a suitable replacement for archetypal ligand architectures in organometallic SMMs. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that isolated siloxide anchorages not only enable successful immobilization, but also lead to two-orders-of-magnitude increase in magnetization relaxation times.

Organic electrochemistry has emerged as an enabling and sustainable technology in modern organic synthesis. Despite the recent renaissance of electrosynthesis, the broad adoption of electrochemistry in the synthetic community and, especially in industrial settings, has been hindered by the dearth of general, standardized platforms for high-throughput experimentation (HTE). Herein, we disclose the design of the HTe-Chem, a high-throughput microscale electrochemical reactor that is compatible with existing HTE infrastructure, and enables rapid evaluation of a broad array of electrochemical reaction parameters. Utilizing the HTe-Chem to accelerate reaction optimization, reaction discovery, and chemical library synthesis is illustrated using a suite of oxidative and reductive transformations under constant current, constant voltage, and electrophotochemical conditions.
Functional Group Identification for FTIR Spectra Using Image-Based Machine Learning Models
Authors: Enders Abigail , North Nicole , Fensore Chase , Velez-Alvarez Juan , Allen Heather
Published: March 2021

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a ubiquitous spectroscopic technique. Spectral interpretation is a time-consuming process, but it yields important information about functional groups present in compounds and in complex substances. We develop a generalizable model via a machine learning (ML) algorithm using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to identify the presence of functional groups in gas phase FTIR spectra. The ML models will reduce the amount of time required to analyze functional groups and facilitate interpretation of FTIR spectra. Through web scraping, we acquire intensity-frequency data from 8728 gas phase organic molecules within the NIST spectral database and transform the data into images. We successfully train models for 15 of the most common organic functional groups, which we then determine via identification from previously untrained spectra. These models serve to expand the application of FTIR measurements for facile analysis of organic samples. Our approach was done such that we have broad functional group models that inference in tandem to provide full interpretation of a spectrum. We present the first implementation of ML using image-based CNNs for predicting functional groups from a spectroscopic method.
Unusually Strong Bi-Exciton Repulsion Detected in Quantum Confined CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals with Two and Three Pulse Femtosecond Spectroscopy
Authors: dana jayanta , Binyamin Tal , Etgar Lioz , Ruhman Sanford
Published: March 2021

Transient absorption measurements were conducted on pristine and on monoexciton saturated

CsPbBr3 nanocrystals varying in size within the regime of strong quantum confinement. Once

the difference spectra were translated to absolute transient changes in absorption cross section,

a single exciton is shown to completely bleach the band edge absorption peak, and induce a

new absorption roughly two times weaker ~100 meV to the blue. Difference spectra obtained

during Auger recombination of biexcitons demonstrate that addition of a second exciton, rather

than double the effect of a first, bleaches the blue induced absorption band without producing

net stimulated emission at the band edge. Accompanied by high time resolution transient

absorption spectra pumping at the lowest exciton band, these results identify the blue induced

absorption as the second transition to 1Se1Sh which is shifted in energy due to unusually strong

and promptly rising biexciton repulsion.

Published: March 2021

The green biological route has been employed to convert macro-sized zinc and copper metal complexes into nano-sized metal complexes. These bioactive metal complexes were synthesized by template condensation process in the chemistry laboratory. The newly synthesized biologically active complexes were converted into nano range from phytochemical aqueous extract of Macrotyloma uniflorum (horse gram). Biologically converted nano complexes have been characterized by physicochemical as well as spectroscopic techniques such as UV-visible spectrophotometer and FTIR. The reduced Cu and Zn metal nanoparticles were analyzed with SEM for shape and size, which showed most of the nanoparticles, were nearly spherical with nano range size. To estimate the potentiality of newly manufactured copper and zinc nanoparticles in vitro  and in in vivo  studies, i.e. antifungal and antibacterial and anti-cancer activities were performed. The biogenic nanoparticles of Cu and Zn were evaluated for their activity on cancer A-549 cell lines by standard MTT assay for metabolically active mitochondria and cell viability. Further flow cytometric studies showed Cu, and Zn nano complexes had inhibition efficacy of cancer cells compared to normal cells. This study elevates that biosynthesized Cu & Zn nano complexes can be an alternative for the treatment of cancer.

Published: March 2021

Background: Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus are among the most common co-morbidities. In diabetic patients, hypertension is more prevalent than in the general population. The present study aimed to apply the blood pressure guidelines of American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) 2017 on Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for initiation and intensification of treatment. Methods: This is a prospective observational study, designed to study the prevalence of hypertension in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus according to new guidelines. One hundred cases of Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are included in the study. For all the patients, history, clinical examination including blood pressure examination and biochemical tests were performed. Results: The study Categorized (49%) of the patients as hypertension stage 1, (39%) as stage 2. The study highlighted a statistically significant positive correlation between hypertension (different stages) and poor glycemic control (P=0.062). The well-known hypertensive patients who were already taking antihypertensive drugs, they were more likely categorized as hypertension stage 1 and 2; 51.02% and 87.18%, respectively; P<0.001, even though they were taking antihypertensive drugs and that (48.98%) of the patients had hypertension stage 1 and (12.82%) had hypertension stage 2 but they were unaware of their elevated blood pressure. Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension according to the new categories is much higher for patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus than previously recorded. Early evaluation for hypertension and periodic evaluation of patient with pre hypertension, applying life style modifications and prompt treatment of hypertension and hyperglycemia favors better outcome.

Published: March 2021

This study was carried out to detect Theileria infection in sheep and goats in Kurdistan region, Iraq from June 2019 to April 2020. Molecular method was used to identify Theileria species. Sixty- seven blood samples were taken from 45 sheep and 22 goats based on clinical signs of theileriosis during tick activating season. The 67 samples were PCR edm and as a result, 20 species-specific PCR were positives (26.67% (12/20) were Theileria ovis in sheep and 36.36% (8/20) were from goats). The results of the gene analysis in the current study were registered in NCBI under four accession numbers (MN889986, MN889987, MN889988 and MN889989), which shows that sheep and goats can be infected with Theileria ovis. This is the first report of Theileria species in goats with clinical theileriosis in Kurdistan, so the gene flow and disease transmission between sheep and goats is most expected. PCR is a useful diagnostic tool to detect ovine theileriosis with a single test and suggested that T. ovis is the dominant piroplasmid agent in Erbil. In addition, it revealed that sheep is very susceptible to theileriosis than goats

Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) attract global interest as tool for financing welfare services using investment from outside the public sector. They aim to incentivise innovative services that prevent future needs, reducing the future demand on services, and thus make savings. The literature on the practice of SIBs is still scarce and this paper provides new insights into the role of commissioners, based on in-depth interviews. It concludes that although the prevention of future needs through innovative approaches are welcome, commissioners are cautious about this leading to cashable savings.
The Village of the People Stands Night and Day, Guardians of their Ancestors

This thesis looks at the establishment of Maori values within a contemporary, de-colonialised architectural context. Through the 19th and 20th centuries, pre-colonial design archetypes and typologies were unable to modernise with new technologies and instead were replaced with colonial technology and thinking. This was done because of the suppression of Maori and Maori culture and lead to Maori cultural architecture and design that was stuck in traditional context and an identity that was unable to be applied to modern contexts.

To begin, the initial research stages attempt to define a concise set of traditional, pre-colonial Maori design values and a second set of physical observations taken directly from an existing informal settlement that was not subject to colonial governing bodies or establishment. This is an important context as this acts as a decolonialisation element and begins a dialogue into how we form a new cultural identity for Maori built environments. From here the two sets of research are respectfully integrated each other forming a set of design guidelines. Having these values integrated together, the thesis then uses them as a platform for a well-informed piece of Maori Architectural and Urban design located in Rotorua, New Zealand. The purpose of this piece of research is not to create a hard set of guidelines but more to start a dialogue about how we can better inform our cultural architecture in New Zealand and how we can integrate Maori values into more of our architecture as a vehicle for high quality cultural diversity. Beginning this discussion is an acceptance that the suppression of Maori was an unfortunate occurrence of the past that at this point cannot be helped but through dialogue and action, we can look to rekindle the identity that our built environment lost all those years ago.
Opioid substitution treatment planning in a disaster context: Perspectives from emergency management and health professionals in Aotearoa/New Zealand

© 2016 by the authors. Opioid Substitution Treatment (OST) is a harm reduction strategy enabling opiate consumers to avoid withdrawal symptoms and maintain health and wellbeing. Some research shows that within a disaster context service disruptions and infrastructure damage affect OST services, including problems with accessibility, dosing, and scripts. Currently little is known about planning for OST in the reduction and response phases of a disaster. This study aimed to identify the views of three professional groups working in Aotearoa/New Zealand about OST provision following a disaster. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 service workers, health professionals, and emergency managers in OST and disaster planning fields. Thematic analysis of transcripts identified three key themes, namely “health and wellbeing”, “developing an emergency management plan”, and “stock, dose verification, and scripts” which led to an overarching concept of “service continuity in OST preparedness planning”. Participants viewed service continuity as essential for reducing physical and psychological distress for OST clients, their families, and wider communities. Alcohol and drug and OST health professionals understood the specific needs of clients, while emergency managers discussed the need for sufficient preparedness planning to minimise harm. It is concluded that OST preparedness planning must be multidisciplinary, flexible, and inclusive.
No-man's Land: Adoption Storied Through the Aotearoa/New Zealand Adoption Act 1955

© 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. The Aotearoa/New Zealand Adoption Act 1955 legislated and governed adoption practices from 1955 to 1985. Through an exploration of the historical, cultural and social assumptions underlying the Adoption Act 1955, this article questions how the social power relations complicit with adoption legislation and policy produce and reproduce subject positions for adoptees. In-depth narrative interviews were conducted with 12 adoptees from throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. The researchers found the legal constitution of adoptees produces them as legitimate; however, they remain 'other' through dominant discourses of heteronormative blood kinship that reiterates their illegitimacy. The legal fiction of their legitimacy as if born to failed to secure them space within normative narratives of kinship and compromised adoptees' ability to take up responsibility as neoliberal citizens. Current New Zealand debate on adoption fails to take account of the experience of adoptees, focusing instead on the rights of married couples, including same-sex couples, to continue practices of adoption. Our analysis informs the critical importance of listening to how adoptees experience repeated exclusions and enduring loss represented by the metaphor of no-man's land.

Opioid substitution treatment and disasters: perspectives from Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Blake Denise
Published: March 2021

In Aotearoa New Zealand, disaster risk management (DRM) aspires to protect the lives and livelihoods of people and places. It does this by encouraging people and communities to be disaster ready, while ensuring reduction of potential and actual harm from a disaster, responding immediately and directly following a disaster, and recovering so that there is ongoing regeneration and resiliency for the people and communities impacted by a disaster.
White paper: How to procure e-mobility solutions
Authors: Bueso Guillén Pedro José
Published: March 2021

This White Paper provides a step-by-step approach on how to procure e-mobility solutions. Chapter 1 covers the implementation of a so-called innovation procurement. Chapter 2 covers all relevant aspects that are related to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) of the World Trade Organization with a link to the most relevant aspects of EU Trade Agreements that enhance the competitiveness of European companies. The chapter also presents an overview of the most recent and relevant EU initiatives to maintain a level playing field in public procurement within and across the boundaries of the EU Internal Market. Chapter 3 covers the possibilities to include social and environmental criteria within government procurements. Chapter 4 concludes on the findings of the e-Mobility paper and provides the reader with useful practices and tools to follow up on the procurement of e-mobility solutions. For the context of this White Paper, e-mobility solutions are transport solutions which are based on heavy duty vehicles with a zero-emission tailpipe pollution, which are a category under article 4 (5) of the Directive 2009/33/EC of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of clean road transport vehicles in support of low-emission mobility amended by Directive (EU) 2019/1161 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019
