Conservation Horticulture: In Vitro Micropropagation and Acclimatization of Selected Florida Native Orchids
Authors: Mullin Andrew , Costa Bárbara Nogueira Souza , Downing Jason , Khoddamzadeh Amir Ali
Published: October 2022

Florida is home to 106 native orchid species, of which 77 are listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Florida. The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) has classified 62 of these species as either critically imperiled, imperiled, or rare in South Florida. Because of lack of endosperm, orchid germination rates are very low in nature, as they depend on an obligate relationship with mycorrhizal fungi for nutrients. Most orchid seeds can be germinated in vitro without the need for specific mycorrhizal fungi. This study aims are to establish a fast and efficient protocol for in vitro seed germination using different nutrient media and plant growth regulator (PGR) combinations, and to optimize seedling acclimatization protocols using different greenhouse media. To determine germination preferences, three different in vitro seed germination media were tested supplemented with PGRs, including 1) Murashige & Skoog (MS) (control), 2) MS supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), and 3) MS supplemented with 1 mg/L BAP and 0.5 mg/L 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on Cyrtopodium punctatum, a state-listed endangered, IRC critically imperiled epiphytic orchid. There was no significant difference amongst the treatments after 2 and 6 weeks of seed sowing culture. To understand post-culture survivorship, two epiphytic and one terrestrial native species (Trichocentrum undulatum, Encyclia tampensis, and Oncidium ensatum) were chosen for the acclimatization study with two commercially available potting substrates (coir, sphagnum). To measure seedling growth rates, phenotypic measurements [leaf number, leaf length, root length, plantlet height, light intensity, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC)] and Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values were recorded monthly for five months. All media/PGR combinations resulted in an initial high percentage of stage I growth but inhibited Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) development, suggesting more research is necessary to determine later improvements or detriments to MS basal media with BAP and NAA. Comparing acclimatization media with the three species of orchid chosen for this experiment, neither O. ensatum nor E. tampensis showed a marked preference for sphagnum moss or coir. However, T. undulatum did perform better with coir compared with sphagnum. This research will help botanical gardens and commercial plant tissue culture laboratories to have a better understanding on selection of PGR combinations for in vitro cell culture and acclimatization media on increasing the viability and plant health and decreasing the mortality of endangered plants.
Reducing Water Salinity at Flowering Stage Decreases Days to Flowering and Promotes Plant Growth and Yield in Chile Pepper

Published: October 2022

Water scarcity is a major problem for crop production around the world including Southwestern United States and growers are increasingly using groundwater for agriculture in Southern New Mexico. Most of the groundwater in New Mexico is brackish and continuous long-term use could lead to salt accumulation in the soil. Reverse osmosis (RO) can desalinate brackish groundwater (BGW), however, environmentally safe disposal of RO concentrate is costly. This greenhouse study evaluated the effects of BGW and RO concentrate at various growth stages of two chile pepper cultivars, NuMex Joe E. Parker and NuMex Sandia Select. Five salinity treatments were applied to plants, three of them used saline waters of 0.6 (control), 4.0 (BGW), and 8.0 dS/m (RO) throughout the growing season, whereas the other two changed waters of 4.0 and 8.0 dS/m to waters of 2.0 and 6.0 dS/m from the beginning of the flowering stage. Number of flowers, days to flowering, relative plant heights, relative fresh biomass, fruit yields, photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductivity (gS), and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) significantly decreased with increasing irrigation water salinity levels. Concentrations of Mg2+, Na+, and Cl− in plants increased with increasing water salinity levels. Changing to irrigation with reduced salinity waters of 2.0 and 6.0 dS/m at the flowering stage initiated reproductive development more rapidly and alleviated the adverse influence of salinity on the number of flowers of chile pepper, plant height, Pn, as well as fresh shoot and fruit weight than that with continuous irrigation with electrical conductivity (EC) of 4.0 dS/m and 8.0 dS/m beyond the flowering stage. Irrigation that practices a change from high salinity to lower salinity at the flowering stage can optimize the use of saline irrigation water for growing chile peppers.

Published: October 2022

Variegation in Vitis hybrids was investigated to confirm the inheritance as a single, recessive gene as previously proposed and commonly observed in breeding programs. Variegated leaves have ornamental appeal, but the phenotype is sublethal in some environments. Twenty-nine grape families were characterized for variegation including F1, S1, and S2 populations. The majority segregated 3 wild type (WT):1 variegated and were supported by chi-square tests. Four populations had segregation ratios supporting 15:1 or 1:1 models, and a unique flecking phenotype was identified in a Landot 4511 S1 population that suggested the interaction of two recessive loci. A variegated parent was selfed to produce progeny with no WT offspring and was segregated 0:1. Marker trait associations including bulk segregant analysis (BSA), genome-wide association mapping, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping was used on three populations. On chromosome 14, Lvar1 was identified and mapped to 24.5 to 29.5 Mb and associated closely with rhAmpSeq marker 14_27607541. Lvar2 was associated with rhAmpSeq marker 11_18433819 on chromosome 11 at 12.2 to 18.4 Mb. The identification of two loci and the segregation data in some populations suggest that grape breeding germplasm segregates for two recessive loci. The pedigree records suggest that ‘Frontenac’ inherited one of these loci, and that Landot 4511, an ancestor of many populations tested in this experiment, may carry two loci. A total of 252 candidate genes were identified at these loci, including a key target—adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent zinc metalloprotease FtsH6, involved in photosystem II and similar to the var2 mutant in Arabidopsis. This knowledge can help breeders select for ornamental grapevines or eliminate variegation from their breeding programs.
Sample geometry transformation for mechanical tests of constructional materials in an FDM structure
Authors: Shemetov L. I. , Raspopina V. B. , Chernyshkov A. S.
Published: October 2022

The aim was to obtain a rough determination of the dimensions and shape of a sample for an experimental study of the mechanical characteristics of filamentary FDM-printing structures with a low filling at central tension. The sample geometry was designed based on the dimensions and shape provided in the GOST 17370-2017 “Cellular rigid plastics. Tension testing method”. The research methods included the finite element analysis of stress state parameters in an automated environment, elements of the stiffened shell theory and experimental testing of samples. The theory of stiffened shells was used to simplify the geometry of the finite element model for the studied samples. Finite element analysis was carried out in a linear formulation and, based on the results of its combination with the analysis of the technological model of a designed sample, a decision on transforming the sample geometry was made. The samples were produced using a “line” template with an orientation along the longitudinal axis of the sample. According to the results of testing the samples, a conclusion about the success of implied transformation was made. The success criterion involves the destruction of an FDM sample within the limits of the working part. As a result, both external and internal geometries of the prototype sample were transformed. This allowed the main emphasis in the work of the stretchable FDM sample to be shifted to its working part and the trajectory of power flows to be adjusted according to the FDM-printing specifics. Experimental testing of FDM samples with a low “line” template filling showed a consistently satisfactory result: fractures occurred in the working part of test samples. In the course of the studies, the general trend in the dependence of the force flow distribution over the sample volume on the combination of the printing thread trajectory with external and internal geometries of the sample was determined. Future work will focus on a more detailed analysis and formalisation of the obtained results with regard to various printing templates.
Insolation calculations of a photovoltaic power plant taking into account location-based and weather parameters
Authors: Konovalov Yu. V. , Khaziev A. N.
Published: October 2022

In this study, we set out to develop a methodology for calculating insolation of a photovoltaic power plant taking into account the maximum number of significant input parameters and its territorial adaptation. To this end, simulation modelling implemented in the MATLAB environment was used. Functional possibilities for the synthesis of models using existing elements with the integration of algorithms and modelling results between the blocks of the Simulink sub-system were used. In terms of significant input parameters, geographical coordinates, local time, tilt of the receiving solar panel, modelled day, atmospheric transparency coefficient, albedo and azimuthal angle were considered. A computer model of a photovoltaic power plant was developed for investigating the operation of photovoltaic cells depending on the coordinates of their installation, geometric parameters of solar panels, as well as the temperature and reflectivity of the environment. The performed modelling of the photovoltaic power plant operation visualised graphic dependences of insolation on the tilt of the solar panel, atmospheric transparency coefficient, geographical coordinates of the object and the current month or day. According to the analysis, 15 variations in the solar panel tilt modifies insolation by 10–15%, while variations in the atmospheric transparency coefficient result in 30–50% variations of insolation. As a result, the daily insolation values for the city of Angarsk throughout a year can be modified by 1000–6500 W/m2. The presented results of investigating a regionally adapted photovoltaic power plant demonstrated the need for accounting for location-based and weather parameters during the calculation of insolation for determining the applicability of a plant. The proposed mathematical model for calculating insolation of a photovoltaic power plant can be used for the design and optimization of power supply systems in combination with the specified photovoltaic solar power plants.
Multi-criteria selection of the mix of generating plants in local energy systems based on a modified analytic hierarchy process
Authors: Nefedov A. S. , Shakirov V. A. , Ignatieva S. M.
Published: October 2022

This paper presents a modification of the analytic hierarchy process in order to increase its efficiency for a multi-criteria comparison of mixes of generating plants in local energy areas during their development. The multi-criteria problem of selecting the most effective ratio of rated capacities is considered for power plants representing a single mix of generating plants during the development of a local energy area in the Khabarovsk Krai. The energy sources are represented by thermal, solar, wind and diesel power plants. The following estimation criteria for alternative solutions were accepted: levelized cost of electricity, ecological effeciency estimation; estimation of public opinion about the consequences involved with the establishment of power plants. In order to solve the multi-criteria problem, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used. When using the original AHP for the set problem, a large quantity of alternatives at the stage of pairwise comparisons were found to represent a perceptible load on a decision maker. Thus, already during the estimation of 10 alternatives according to 5 criteria, decision makers should conduct 225 pairwise comparisons, which may eventually result in an unacceptable consistency of the results. In addition, this requires a procedure accounting for the uncertainty of the decision maker's preferences. The proposed solution represents a method of forming matrices of pairwise comparisons upon criteria. This method consists in generating an interval or fuzzy model of the decision maker's preferences for evaluating pairs of estimates according to the criterion. The proposed method was verified using a numerical example of solving the set problem. The obtained optimum mix of power plants consists of thermal, solar and diesel plants with a power of 30, 35 and 39 mW, respectively. The proposed method ensures a high consistency of the results obtained during alternative pairwise comparisons. In addition, the modified analytic hierarchy process takes into account the non-linear nature of the decision maker's preferences for estimating alternatives according to criteria.

Authors: Karimova L. M. , Argyn A.
Published: October 2022

The process of extraction/re-extraction of copper from heap leaching solutions using the Acorga M5774 Solvay extractant (Sytec, Belgium/USA) representing a modified aldoxime (5-nonylsalicylaldoxime) was studied. This extractant is characterized by a high effectiveness and a large selectivity of copper to iron, thus enabling a more rapid phase separation. During experiments, a pregnant leach solution obtained after the percolation leaching of the Sayak deposite ore (Republic of Kazakhstan) was used, g/dm3: H2SO4 – 11.67, Сu – 2.44, Fe – 2.613, Al – 0.345, Si – 0.127, Zn – 0.05, рН = 1.85. The main parameters and effectiveness of the extractant were studied by plotting extraction and re-extraction isotherms, as well as by simulating the closed cycle processing sequence and determining the level of copper extraction at the liquid extraction stage. The extraction/re-extraction of copper from pregnant leach solutions was studied. An aliphatic product of Elixore 205 (Total, France) was used as an extractant diluent, with the amount in the organic phase equal to 90%. Based on the conducted studies, extraction and re-extraction isotherms were plotted. In the liquid extraction process, simulated using the obtained isotherms, the extraction of copper comprised 96.18% (at an organic/aqueous phase ratio of 1.1) with a reagent saturation of 79%. The dependence of iron transfer from the organic phase on the saturation of organic phase with copper was obtained. Thus, the performed studies confirmed the effectiveness of the Acorga M5774 extractant for the purposes of extracting copper from pregnant leach solutions obtained during heap leaching of the Sayak deposit ore.

Optimal design of district metered areas based on improved particle swarm optimization method for water distribution systems
Authors: Yu Tingchao , Zhang Xiangqiu , Long Zhihong , Zhou Hua , Liu Xiaowei
Published: October 2022

Although partitioning of water distribution systems (WDSs) into district metered areas (DMAs) is challenging, it can be effectively used for refined management and leakage control. A two-step novel process for DMA partitioning is proposed in this study, i.e. clustering and dividing. The first step is to cluster nodes through an improved METIS graph partitioning method. The second step is to optimize the location of flowmeters and gate valves on boundary pipes by obtaining the feasible solutions. The good solutions that constitute the Pareto front were produced, which could be a tough and time-consuming task. The paper proposes the innovative and efficient dividing phase: (a) selecting the important boundary pipes by hydraulic analysis; (b) using the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm; (c) proposing three objective functions. The proposed method is applied to Modena and EXNET networks to demonstrate its feasibility.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)
Authors: Grese T. A. , Dodge J. A.
Published: October 2022

Naturally occurring estrogens, such as 17 -estradiol and estrone, have traditionally been thought to play a central role in the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. In recent years, their beneficial effects on the skeleton, the cardiovascular system, and the central nervous system, as well as the cancer risks associated with long term exposure have also been recognized. The widespread use of " antiestrogens " such as tamoxifen for the prevention
and treatment of breast cancer has revealed that such compounds, while functioning as estrogen antagonists in mammary tissue, actually mimic the effects of estrogen in other tissues. The search for more selective agents has led to the development of raloxifene, a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator, which functions as an estrogen antagonist in the breast and uterus and as an estrogen agonist in the skeleton and cardiovascular system. Recent progress in the development of SERMs is the subject of this review, with an emphasis on structure activity _relationships and on their effects in non-traditional target tissues. •

Published: October 2022

Background:

Recent findings suggest that both dietary protein intake and hand grip strength
(HGS) were associated with cognitive function, however, few studies have been devoted specifically to
the mediation effect of HGS on the association of the dietary protein with cognitive function.

Objectives:

To confirm the hypothesis that HGS mediated the association of dietary protein intake with
cognitive function in the elderly, which was modified by triglyceride level and methylenetetrahydrofolate
reductase (MTHFR) gene status.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included 3,268 participants. Dietary protein intake, HGS, and
cognitive function were collected by food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), grip measurements and
mini mental state examination (MMSE), respectively. In this mediation analysis, dietary protein intake
was entered as an independent variable, HGS was entered as a mediator, and cognitive function was
entered as a dependent variable.

Results:

HGS significantly mediated the associations of dietary protein (β = 0.0013, 95% CI: 0.0007,
0.0022), animal protein (β = 0.0024, 95% CI: 0.0012, 0.0037), and plant protein intake (β = 0.0011,
95% CI: 0.0001, 0.0023) with cognitive function in total participants, with the mediated proportion of
16.19%, 12.45% and 20.57%, respectively. Furthermore, significant mediation effects of HGS on the
associations of dietary protein, animal protein, and plant protein intake with MMSE score were found
in the elderly without hypertriglyceridemia or in MTHFR C677T CC/CT carriers.

Conclusion:

This study suggested that HGS mediated the association of dietary protein intake with
cognitive function, and this mediation effect was modified by triglyceride level and MTHFR C677T
gene status.

Objective: To generate theoretical constructs about the Pedagogy application for academic Projects as a source to promote the educational practices development. This process is boarded up on research by a subjectivist grasp.Also, it contains the theoretical use at the time it is based on key informants' experiences, which are made up of four school teachers and two school directive executives from two Public Educational Institutions in Medellín city. Methodology: The information gathering technique that was used was the interview in-depth. The instruments' validity was carried out through a professional review by experts. Conclusion: From that perspective, it produced a knowledge less encouraging for the Formation Processes Status based on educational practices that do not get into familiar results with PPP, and this also gets separated from what is convenient since the Teachers' practice stages and the holistic development from academic needs that, in reality, presents the human context. In that way, the theorizing was emphasized in authorizing true positiveaspects and the real ones taken from PPPs, the same element that could help for the accomplishment of the educational goal, which is translated in the learners' realization under the complexity observation, the constructivism, and the rest of active pedagogical referring in modern times.
Myocarditis Infodemic During COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign in Italy: Longitudinal Study Through Google Trends (Preprint)
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro , Castaldo Lucia , Tramontana Luca
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

As of September 2022, a wave of dismisinformation is sweeping Italy regarding the risk of COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis. No studies on this phenomenon have been conducted to date.

OBJECTIVE

Estimate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the amount of health information and dismisinformation – in the form of exaggerated risk perception – relating to COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis in Italy.

METHODS

Google Trends was adopted to investigate users' web interest in health issues, anxiety, and relationships between COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccines, myocarditis, and heart disease. The survey was longitudinal retrospective. Quantitative analysis and semantic evaluations of queries were employed.

RESULTS

The COVID-19 crisis has led to an average increase of 23% in demand for health information online compared to previous years (95%CI: [20, +inf[, S-value>10). The web interest in myocarditis increased by 800% (95%CI: [600, +inf[, S>10) and was causally correlated to COVID-19 vaccines (R=0.72, 95%CI: [0.49, 0.89], S>10). The percentage of related infodemic queries varied between 3 and 30%, depending on the region. Web interest in myocarditis exceeded that in heart disease by 170% (95% CI: [130, +inf[, S>10). Web interest in anxiety increased by 26% (95% CI: [20, + inf[, S>10), but no evident causal relationship could be established.

CONCLUSIONS

COVID-19 has caused a sharp increase in health-related web queries in Italy. Web interest in myocarditis risk was unjustifiably greater towards COVID-19 vaccines than COVID-19, other major risk factors, and ischemic heart disease (the principal cause of death in the country). We also report an increased interest in anxiety, an important cardiovascular determinant. Therefore, an infodemiological intervention by the authorities is urgently required. We also recommend establishing a school program to build resilience against dismisinformation and information management capacity in citizens.

UNSTRUCTURED

The Hippocratic Oath (the “Oath”) is a longstanding body of ethical tenets that have undergone several amendments to accommodate changes and/or evolutions in the practice of medicine. In their recent perspective entitled “A Revised Hippocratic Oath for the Era of Digital Health,” Meskó and Spiegel offer proposed amendments to the Oath to address both challenges and needs that follow digital health implementation into clinical practice. In this commentary, we offer additional thoughts and considerations to Meskó and Spiegel’s proposed amendments to accomplish two goals:1) reflect on the shared goals and values of all digital health stakeholders, and 2) drive home the focus on affirming patient choice, autonomy, and respect.

Background: The implementation of the national licensing examination for medical doctors is expected to have a broad impact on doctors and society. Indonesian Medical Doctor National Competency Examination (IMDNCE; Indonesian: Uji Kompetensi Mahasiswa Program Profesi Dokter or UKMPPD) as an ‘exit exam’ in the medical education process may significantly impact learning and clinical practices. The study’s objective was to explore the impact of IMDNCE on both the learning and clinical practices of doctors.Methods: The study subjects were internship doctors who had passed the IMDNCE. Participants were recruited by purposive sampling based on the ownership status of the institution (state/private) and the accreditation of respective medical schools and participants’ gender. The study participants consisted of 41 internship doctors working in 6 regions from 33 different medical schools out of 75 medical faculties in Indonesia.Results: IMDNCE has a positive influence on learning and clinical practice. The IMDNCE process emphasizes standard competencies that must be mastered and patient management process with current evidence that is not always achieved during clinical education, increasing clinical knowledge and skills, and increasing awareness of professional development. IMDNCE also has very well affected in the development of self-confidence and a sense of responsibility which are essential in clinical practice. In addition to psychological influences, IMDNCE improves competence in clinical skills and promotes good medical practice.

Waterhole use and diel activity pattern of ocelots in Calakmul rainforest, Mexico
Authors: Sandoval-Serés Elisa , Sánchez-Pinzón Khiavett , Reyna-Hurtado Rafael
Published: October 2022

We aimed to evaluate the temporal and spatial use of waterholes by ocelots in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (CBR), Mexico. From 2014 to 2017, we monitored 11 waterholes with camera traps. We compared diel activity patterns with circular statistics depending on waterholes’ level of human intensity and distance to the Calakmul road, seasonality, and sex. We identified 40 different ocelots. Four waterholes were the most important ones, being 2 of them close to the road. Individuals took on average 19 days to return to waterholes. The diel activity of ocelots was 63.67% nocturnal, 20.70% crepuscular and 15.60% diurnal, and they were more diurnal in waterholes distant from the road. Their activity pattern was bimodal and it did not change between any of the categories tested. This is the first study to determine the spatial and temporal activity of ocelots in waterholes of Mexico. Ocelots are mainly nocturnal, and this pattern is conserved throughout CBR, however, they are able to adjust slightly their activity depending on extrinsic factors, such as an increased human presence. In the Calakmul region, all waterholes are crucial, and we particularly emphasize the conservation of the most important waterholes for ocelots, especially the ones close to the road.

Los procesos ecológicos determinísticos son fundamentales en la estructuración del ensamblaje de aves del complejo volcánico de Colima, el cual destaca por su alto endemismo, migración y recambio taxonómico, además por su actividad volcánica, gradiente altitudinal y tipos de vegetación. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la diversidad de aves del complejo volcánico de Colima y los mecanismos ecológicos y biogeográficos que estructuran su composición, a partir de datos de incidencia y variables ambientales. Los resultados muestran que el riesgo volcánico, la altitud y la orientación cardinal son las variables explicativas de los patrones de riqueza. Se registraron 397 especies de las cuales 248 (62.5%) son residentes, 149 (37.5%) son migratorias y 89 (22.4%) tienen alguna categoría de endemismo. Existe una alta disimilitud (βSOR = 0.907), causada por un alto recambio de especies (βSIM = 0.749). La afinidad biogeográfica mejor representada es el dominio mesoamericano con 41-47% de las especies residentes. Se concluye que los procesos ecológicos y biogeográficos son los que estructuran a la avifauna regional y se provee un primer acercamiento a la comprensión de la actividad volcánica como un mecanismo activo en la dinámica biológica regional.

This study aims to record mites associated with the respiratory system of Columba livia Gmelin, 1789, including data of parasitological indices and of coinfections in southern Brazil. Two hundred and two specimens of C. livia were collected in the urban area in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS) state, Brazil. Fifty-six (27.7%) birds were parasitized by Rhinonyssidae and Ereynetidae mites. Tinaminyssus columbae (Crossley, 1950) and Tinaminyssus melloi (Castro, 1948) (Rhinonyssidae) were found in nasal cavities and tracheae of the birds. Trispeleognathus striatus (Crossley, 1952) (Ereynetidae) was found in hosts’ nasal cavities. The prevalence of Rhinonyssidae mites (25.2%) was significantly higher than obtained for Ereynetidae (5.9%). Coinfections only occurred in nasal cavities of 8 (3.96%) birds. This study records for the first time T. columbae and Trispeleognathus striatus parasitizing C. livia in Brazil. In addition, mite infection indices and coinfections of Rhinonyssidae and Ereynetidae mites in this Columbidae species are recorded.
State Preparation Boosters for Early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation
Authors: Wang Guoming , Sim Sukin , Johnson Peter D.
Published: October 2022

Quantum computing is believed to be particularly useful for the simulation of chemistry and materials, among the various applications. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in the development of near-term quantum algorithms for quantum simulation, including VQE and many of its variants. However, for such algorithms to be useful, they need to overcome several critical barriers including the inability to prepare high-quality approximations of the ground state. Current challenges to state preparation, including barren plateaus and the high-dimensionality of the optimization landscape, make state preparation through ansatz optimization unreliable. In this work, we introduce the method of ground state boosting, which uses a limited-depth quantum circuit to reliably increase the overlap with the ground state. This circuit, which we call a booster, can be used to augment an ansatz from VQE or be used as a stand-alone state preparation method. The booster converts circuit depth into ground state overlap in a controllable manner. We numerically demonstrate the capabilities of boosters by simulating the performance of a particular type of booster, namely the Gaussian booster, for preparing the ground state of N2 molecular system. Beyond ground state preparation as a direct objective, many quantum algorithms, such as quantum phase estimation, rely on high-quality state preparation as a subroutine. Therefore, we foresee ground state boosting and similar methods as becoming essential algorithmic components as the field transitions into using early fault-tolerant quantum computers.
