Analysing the Efficiencies of Partially Entangled Three-Qubit States for Quantum Information Processing Under Real Conditions
Authors: Faujdar Jyoti , Kumar Atul 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this article, we revisit the question of analysing the efficiencies of partially entangled states in three-qubit classes under real conditions. Our results show some interesting observations regarding the efficiencies and correlations of partially entangled states. Surprisingly, we find that the efficiencies of many three-qubit partially entangled states exceed that of maximally entangled three-qubit states under real noisy conditions and applications of weak measurements. Our analysis, therefore, suggests that the efficiencies of partially entangled states are much more robust to noise than those of maximally entangled states at least for the GHZ (Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger) class states, for certain protocols; i.e. less correlations in the initially prepared state may also lead to better efficiency and hence one need not always consider starting with a maximally entangled state with maximum correlations between the qubits. For a set of partially entangled states, we find that the efficiency is optimal, independent of the decoherence and state parameters, if the value of weak measurement parameter is very large. For other values of the weak measurement parameter, the robustness of the states depends on the decoherence and state parameters. Moreover, we further show that one can achieve higher efficiencies in a protocol by using non-optimal weak measurement strengths instead of optimal weak measurement strengths.
Developmental Control of the Cell Cycle: Insights from Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Kipreos Edward T , van den Heuvel Sander 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
During animal development, a single fertilized egg forms a complete organism with tens to trillions of cells that encompass a large variety of cell types. Cell cycle regulation is therefore at the center of development and needs to be carried out in close coordination with cell differentiation, migration, and death, as well as tissue formation, morphogenesis, and homeostasis. The timing and frequency of cell divisions are controlled by complex combinations of external and cell-intrinsic signals that vary throughout development. Insight into how such controls determine in vivo cell division patterns has come from studies in various genetic model systems. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has only about 1000 somatic cells and approximately twice as many germ cells in the adult hermaphrodite. Despite the relatively small number of cells, C. elegans has diverse tissues, including intestine, nerves, striated and smooth muscle, and skin. C. elegans is unique as a model organism for studies of the cell cycle because the somatic cell lineage is invariant. Somatic cells divide at set times during development to produce daughter cells that adopt reproducible developmental fates. Studies in C. elegans have allowed the identification of conserved cell cycle regulators and provided insights into how cell cycle regulation varies between tissues. In this review, we focus on the regulation of the cell cycle in the context of C. elegans development, with reference to other systems, with the goal of better understanding how cell cycle regulation is linked to animal development in general.

The results of physiological, morphological, anatomical peculiarities of introduced plants of Araliaceae Juss. have been given. Study of seasonal growth and development peculiarities of Araliaceae Juss. showed that most of these plants were introduced successfully but the process was complicated by climatic conditions of the area in city Kiev. According to a comprehensive assessment a large number of studied species were highly evaluated for decorative effect. Introduced species of family Araliaceae Juss. are characterized by high-level adaptation to local soil and climatic conditions in Botanical gardens of Kiev. The vast majority of them bloom but not all can form seeds. Thus, among the introduced plants only five representatives of genus Acanthopanax – Acanthopanax lasiogyne, Acanthopanax divaricatus, Acanthopanax sieboldianus, Acanthopanax trifoliatus and Acanthopanax wardii have high level of adaptation. To determine the prospect of cultivating research species we assessed the degree of winter resistance by the 5-point M. K. Vechova scale on the basis of visual observations in conditions of the open ground. The level of adaptation of plants was evaluated in the city Kyiv using the estimation scale measured in points and in percentages. Results of researches showed that the species have a high resistance to the effects of adverse factors. All types of this family are promising for introduction into culture and can be widely used in various branches of the national economy. A comprehensive assessment of the decorative effect of ornamental plant species was carried out by the O. G. Horoshyh and O. V. Horoshyh scales, according to which the decorative effect of the vast majority of studied species was highly appreciated. The results of our study shows that the introduced species of Araliaceae Juss. have a good prospect for further their use in ornamental gardening, urban greening and landscape design in private territories of citizens.
Effect of zoogenic litter on soil’s chemical properties in forest biogeocoenoses of steppe Prydniprovia
Authors: Shulman M. V. , Pakhomov O. Y. 
Published: March 2019

The aspects of the process of decomposition and recycling of zoogenic litter (dead animals of different classes) were first ascertained for the steppe Prydniprovia. Influence of destruction of necrotic organic matter on soil properties (pH, NPK-complex) in forest ecosystems in the steppe zone of Ukraine was estimated. Decomposition and recycling processes of dead animals (chickens, rats) on the experimental plots in biogeocoenoses with artificial oak plantations, sampling soil under dead bodies after the active stages of decomposition with different soil horizons at the same time with control samples, its chemical analysis allowed to determine the effect of degradation necrotic organic matter on the pH value and the content of some chemical elements (N, P, K) in the soil studied ecosystems. In this article the results of investigation of the effect of zoogenic litter on some chemical properties of soil in forest biogeocoenoses of steppe Prydniprovia are presented. The effect of chickens and rats corpses’ decomposition on the pH of soil, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium indexes in the soil is analyzed. The influence of the expansion of animal carcasses on soil chemical properties in different soil horizons compared with control values (without the presence of animal carcasses) is identified. It was found that under the effect of decomposition of animals’ corpses the pH of the soil increases. Under the corpses of chickens pH increases by 6,4–16,7 %, and rats – 2,2–14,2 % compared to control values. The content of nitrogen in the soil under the corpses of chickens increases by 9,5–42,2 %, and under the corpses of rats – to 25,5–25,7 %. Phosphorus content under the corpses of chickens increases by 28,4–107,7 % of rats – to 57,5–75,7 %. The content of potassium in the soil under the corpses of chickens increased by 3,63 % to 69,8 %, and the corpses of rats – by 6,8–23,0 %. Consequently zoogenic litter is an important factor in the accumulation of NPK-complex in the soil. Thus process of animal corpse decomposition has positive effect for chemical properties of forest soil and biogeocoenoses generally.

Introducción. Macrophomina phaseolina es un hongo necrotrófico de difícil control. Hongos biocontroladores, como las especies del género Trichoderma, son una alternativa para cultivos afectados por este fitopatógeno. Objetivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la capacidad de antibiosis de Trichoderma arundinaceum, T. brevicompactum y T. harzianum, contra dos aislamientos de M. phaseolina. Materiales y métodos. El trabajo se efectuó entre octubre de 2015 y marzo del 2016. Se utilizaron tres cepas de referencia de Trichoderma: T. arundinaceum (IBT40837), T. brevicompactum (IBT40841) y T. harzianum T34 (CECT2413) y de M. phaseolina dos aislamientos (FCQ6 y FCQ9). Se realizaron ensayos de confrontación directa, antibiosis y análisis del perfil de proteínas y metabolitos secretados por Trichoderma. Resultados. Las especies de Trichoderma empleadas inhibieron de forma significativa el crecimiento de los dos aislamientos de M. phaseolina en los ensayos de confrontación directa, membrana de celofán y/o membrana de diálisis. En el ensayo de confrontación directa la mayor inhibición del crecimiento de los hongos se observó a las 96 h. El hongo aislado de sésamo (Sesamun indicum L., variedad Escoba blanca), permitió la evaluación de la actividad antifúngica de las moléculas de alto y bajo peso molecular incluso hasta las 120 h, donde T. arundinaceum mantuvo 100% de inhibición del crecimiento; en este mismo tiempo de exposición, los hongos T. brevicompactum y T. harzianum demostraron la importancia de las moléculas de alto peso molecular para el mantenimiento de la actividad antifúngica. Los resultados mostraron la diversidad de metabolitos secundarios y proteínas secretadas por las tres especies de Trichoderma. Conclusión. Este trabajo constituye la primera descripción de la actividad antifúngica de T. arundinaceum y T. brevicompactum contra M. phaseolina, y además, se destaca el potencial de hongos aislados de suelo nativo como alternativa biológica para el control de hongos fitopatógenos de importancia agrícola.

Published: March 2019

Background: Many couples experience decreasing sexual satisfaction in postpartum period. Various sexual health counseling approaches have been designed for postpartum women to address their common sexual concerns and problems.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Women’s Postpartum Sexual Health Program (WPSHP) on women’s sexual satisfaction in postpartum period.
Materials and Methods: The study was a single blind randomized clinical trial on 75 postpartum women aged 18–35 yr with low sexual satisfaction who attended urban health-care centres in Mashhad, Iran in 2016. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21, and the Larson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire. The intervention group received counselling based on the WPSHP, a four-session, group- and couples-based program. The control group just received postpartum routine care.
Results: Both the intervention and control groups were homogeneous for demographic variables. According to the Mann-Whitney test, sexual satisfaction score in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group 8 weeks after the intervention (p < 0.001). According to the Wilcoxon test, there was a significant difference in the mean score of sexual satisfaction before and after intervention in the intervention group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: WPSHP caused higher levels of sexual satisfaction. It is therefore recommended to use this program in women during the postpartum period to promote their sexual satisfaction.
Key words: Sexual satisfaction, Sexual counseling, Sexual health, Postpartum.
Easy to Believe in, But Difficult to Carry Out—Norwegian Midwives' Experiences of Promoting Normal Birth in an Obstetric-Led Maternity Unit
Authors: Aanensen Elisabeth Hemnes , Skjoldal Karin , Sommerseth Eva , Dahl Bente 
Published: March 2019

PURPOSETo explore and describe midwives' experiences of promoting normal birth in medicalized obstetric-led birth units in Norway.STUDY DESIGNA qualitative research design with an explorative/descriptive approach. A convenience sample of 10 midwives was recruited from 2 obstetric-led birth units.MAJOR FINDINGSThree main themes were identified. First, personal attributes and attitudes were perceived to influence the birthing process. Second, lack of time and impatient staff negatively affected the woman's chances of giving birth normally. Third, increasing focus on procedures, selection criteria, and technology threatened the use of midwifery skills and prevented midwives from promoting normal births.MAIN CONCLUSIONPromoting normal birth is influenced by midwives' disposition and attitudes. It is therefore disturbing that midwives experience a loss of their autonomy and responsibility for normal births in obstetric-led wards.
Minimal Scar Formation After Orthopaedic Skin Incisions Along Main Folding Lines
Authors: Lemperle Gottfried , Knapp Dieter , Tenenhaus Mayer 
Published: March 2019

Background:
Patients, particularly those who are young, often develop noticeable orthopaedic scars. In order to achieve minimal scarring, surgeons should attempt to place incisions in skinfolds or skin creases.

Methods:
Optimal incision lines can be determined from the direction of stretch marks (striae distensae), which develop perpendicular to lines of tension or main folding lines. A composite diagram of photographs of 213 individuals with striae distensae was created and compared with 276 images of incisions and scars derived from the Internet.

Results:
Classically described Langer cleavage lines often run counter to real tension lines and poorly predict the optimal direction for skin incisions.

Conclusions:
Whenever possible, main folding lines should be utilized as a guide in planning surgical incisions for young patients as well as for correction of problem scars.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as Predictor for Social Adjustment amongStudents with Learning Disabilities in the Cycle One Schools in the Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Al-mamri Afaf , El Shourbagi Sahar 
Published: March 2019

This study aimed to investigate the level of attention deficiency-hyperactivity & social adjustment among students with learning disabilities in the cycle one schools in South Batinah region as well as to verify the possibility of predicting social adjustment by knowing the level of attention deficiency & hyperactivity among these students. The sample of the study consisted of 200 students in grades 2, 3 & 4 who were listed to have learning disabilities. |A scale for social adjustment was used that included 30 tasks in addition to Corner’s scale of teachers’ assessment that included 28 tasks. To analyze the responses of the sample members and to treat them statistically, the exploratory factor analysis was used to verify the validity of the Conners' Rating Scales. Internal consistency was calculated, as was the Pearson correlation coefficient to verify the validity and consistency of the two measures. A single group test was used to determine the level of attention deficiency, hyperactivity, and social adjustment in the study sample.The main results showed that: the subjects had a lower than average level of attention deficit, a lower than average level of hyperactivity, and an average level of social adjustment. The results also showed that the variables of hyperactivity and poor attention predict negatively with statistically significant correlation with social adjustment.
