Separability conditions based on local fine-grained uncertainty relations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many protocols of quantum information processing use entangled states. Hence, separability criteria are of great importance. We propose new separability conditions for a bipartite finite-dimensional system. They are derived by using fine-grained uncertainty relations. Fine-grained uncertainty relations can be obtained by consideration of the spectral norms of certain positive matrices. One of possible approaches to separability conditions is connected with upper bounds on the sum of maximal probabilities. Separability conditions are often formulated for measurements that have a special structure. For instance, mutually unbiased bases and mutually unbiased measurements can be utilized for such purposes. Using resolution of the identity for each subsystem of a bipartite system, we construct some resolution of the identity in the product of Hilbert spaces. Separability conditions are then formulated in terms of maximal probabilities for a collection of specific outcomes. The presented conditions are compared with some previous formulations. Our results are exemplified with entangled states of a two-qutrit system.

description: Hereditary spherocytosis is a clinically heterogeneous, genetically determined red blood cell membrane disorder resulting in hemolytic anemia. A deficiency of spectrin, the largest and most abundant structural protein of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, results in the formation of spherocytes which lack the strength, durability, and flexibility to withstand the stresses of the circulation. Clinical manifestations of the disease are primarily dependent on the severity of hemolysis, which additionally results in an increased incidence of pigment gallstones. The likelihood of cholelithiasis is directly related to patient age and is uncommon before 10 years of age. Splenectomy is indicated in virtually every patient. When the disease is diagnosed in early childhood, the risk of overwhelming postsplenectomy sepsis makes it advisable to delay splenectomy until after 6 years of age if possible. At the time of splenectomy, it is important to identify and remove any accessory spleens. If gallstones are present, cholecystectomy should be performed. Although spherocytosis persists following splenectomy, hemolysis is alleviated and clinical cure of the anemia is achieved for most patients. Patients with recessively inherited spherocytosis are exceptions. Although they are significantly benefited by splenectomy, their anemia is not completely corrected. Splenectomy reduces hemolysis in all patients and thereby decreases the risk for development of pigment gallstones. Excision of an enlarged spleen removes the danger of traumatic rupture.

description: To evaluate the long-term success of an ablative procedure for esophageal varices, the clinical results of 60 standardized, non-shunt (Womack) operations performed from 1953-1974 were reviewed. The overall operative mortality in this series was 35%. The 39 patients surviving operation have been followed from 5 to 21 years (mean: 13.3 years). Excluding operative mortality, the absolute 5-year survival rates for Child's classes A, B, and C patients were 100%, 63%, and 33%, respectively. The actuarial survival for all patients was 40% at 5 years, 24% at 10 years, and 15% at 15 years. Although the incidence of recurrent bleeding was 54%, clinical factors predictive for rebleeding could not be identified. A review of a collected series of other ablative operations, with and without esophageal transection, generally reveals unacceptable mortality and rebleeding rates. It is concluded that an ablative operation without esophageal transection should be used only in highly selected patients who do not have appropriate veins suitable for venous shunt.

description: The surgical approach to bleeding visceral artery aneurysms has a mortality rate of 16-50% that is dependent primarily on anatomic location and underlying cause. Nineteen patients were studied over a 10-year period who were definitively treated by embolization. There was a 79% success rate and no mortality. The cause of the aneurysms was pancreatitis in 13 patients, trauma in four patients, subacute bacterial endocarditis in one patient, and secondary to biliary tract surgery in one patient.

description: The southward spread in Mediterranean Sea of the potentially invasive Polycera hedgpethi is documented by first reports from North African Mediterranean coasts. Overall, ten specimens were recorded, along 20 km of coastline in the Gulf of Tunis, from spring to autumn 2018, while no specimen was found in the following winter, according to the known life-cycle of the species. The related thermohaline range is here reported, together with on field observations. Specimen morphology and chromatic pattern have been described in detail. The records, close to the biggest commercial harbor in north Tunisia, suggested a probable ship- mediated introduction, favored by the known adaptability of this species to polluted environments. The sequence of P. hedgpethi records in Mediterranean, from colder towards warmer biota, is explained assuming that commercial fluxes were in charge of early transient occurrence in northern areas before settling in more climatically favorable eco-region.

description: Категория личного дворянства хоть и не обладала всей полнотой прав, присущих наиболее привилегированной части высшего сословия – потомственному дворянству, все же имела весьма важное значение в системе государственного управления, поскольку представители данной группы замещали почти все вспомогательные должности на государственной службе. Во второй половине XIX века на территории Среднего Поволжья проживало значительное количество личного дворянства, численность которого в отдельных входящих в состав региона губерниях, довольно значительно различалась. На основании данных первой всеобщей переписи населения рассмотрена национальная принадлежность личного дворянства, а также отмечены особенности, присущие той или иной губернии. В результате анализа количественных характеристик личного дворянства средневолжского региона сделан вывод о том, что на протяжении второй половины XIX века численность данной группы высшего сословия, по отношению к основной массе населения, была ничтожно мала. В уездах численные показатели данной группы сословия сильно разнились. Что касается национальной принадлежности то она была практически однородной с незначительными вкраплениями лиц нерусского происхождения.

description: X-ray spectra in the range $1.5-8.5$~keV have been analyzed for 526 large flares detected with the Solar Assembly for X-rays (SAX) on the Mercury {\em MESSENGER} spacecraft between 2007 and 2013. For each flare, the temperature and emission measure of the emitting plasma were determined from the spectrum of the continuum. In addition, with the SAX energy resolution of 0.6 keV (FWHM) at 6~keV, the intensities of the clearly resolved Fe-line complex at 6.7~keV and the Ca-line complex at 3.9~keV were determined, along with those of unresolved line complexes from S, Si, and Ar at lower energies. Comparisons of these line intensities with theoretical spectra allow the abundances of these elements relative to hydrogen to be derived, with uncertainties due to instrument calibration and the unknown temperature distribution of the emitting plasma. While significant deviations are found for the abundances of Fe and Ca from flare to flare, the abundances averaged over all flares are found to be enhanced over photospheric values by factors of $1.66 \pm 0.34$ (Fe), $3.89~\pm~0.76$ (Ca), $1.23~\pm~0.45$ (S), $1.64~\pm~0.66$ (Si), and $2.48~\pm~0.90$ (Ar). These factors differ from previous reported values for Fe and Si at least. They suggest a more complex relation of abundance enhancement with the first ionization potential (FIP) of the element than previously considered, with the possibility that fractionation occurs in flares for elements with a FIP of less than $\sim$7~eV rather than $\sim10$~eV.

description: В статье дан критический анализ института прекращения уголовного дела (уголовного преследования) по ст. 25.1 УПК РФ в связи с применением судебного штрафа. Объектом исследования стали основания для прекращения уголовного дела (уголовного преследования), урегулированные ст. 25.1 УПК РФ и ст. 76.2 УК РФ. Отмечая дискуссионность терминов «основания» и «условия» для прекращения уголовного дела, авторы обосновывают вывод о том, что необходимо рассматривать все перечисленные в ч. 1 ст. 25.1 УПК РФ обстоятельства в качестве основания для прекращения уголовного дела. Таким образом, сложным комплексным основанием для прекращения уголовного дела (уголовного преследования) с применением судебного штрафа является то, что лицо, впервые совершившее преступление небольшой или средней тяжести, возвестило ущерб или иным образом загладило причиненный преступлением вред. При этом авторы выделяют отдельные элементы в вышеуказанном основании. Анализ одного из таких оснований «лицо, впервые совершившее преступление небольшой или средней тяжести» позволил сделать вывод о том, что действующий институт прекращения уголовного дела с применением судебного штрафа не выполняет профилактическую функцию и дает возможность лицам, неоднократно совершающим преступления небольшой и средней тяжести, рассчитывать на применение к ним данного института. Это связано с тем, что современное толкование термина «лицо, впервые совершившее преступление» позволяет применить его к лицам, совершившим преступление, но в отношении которых уголовное дело было прекращено по ст. 25.1 УПК РФ. В связи с этим авторы предлагают дополнить ст. 25.1 УПК РФ и ст. 76.2 УК РФ новой частью, запрещающей неоднократное применение в отношении одного лица норм института прекращения уголовного дела в связи с применением судебного штрафа.

description: We investigate the emergence of chiral meso-structures in one-dimensional fluids consisting of stacked discotic particles and demonstrate that helical undulations are generated spontaneously from internal elastic stresses. The stability of these helical conformations arises from an interplay between long-ranged soft repulsions and nanopore confinement which is naturally present in columnar liquid crystals. Using a simple mean-field theory based on microscopic considerations we identify generic scaling expressions for the typical buckling radius and helical pitch as a function of the density and interaction potential of the constituent particles.

description: The European leptostracans (Nebaliidae) have recently been subjected to a number of reviews for British and Iberian Peninsula waters. This study reassesses leptostracan species within French coastal waters in order to 1) correct potential past misidentifications and 2) to confirm the geographical distribution of species currently described on a European scale. Following the re-examination of 132 specimens initially identified as Nebalia sp. or Nebalia bipes, six species have been identified. Among them, four species (Sarsinebalia urgorrii, Nebalia troncosoi, Nebalia reboredae and Nebalia kocatasi) are newly recorded for French coasts. The distribution of N. troncosoi, with a previous northern limit at the Iberian Peninsula, now extends from the English Channel to the French Mediterranean Sea. Including the shallow species Nebalia herbstii and Nebalia strausi, which were already recorded in France, and the deep-water species Nebalia abyssicola, Sarsinebalia typhlops and Sarsinebalia biscayensis, nine species of leptostracans are now listed in the French marine fauna.

description: Malnutrition is a recognized cause of failure of host defense mechanisms. In the past 5 years, it has been demonstrated that the gut, long known to have significant morphologic changes with protein calorie malnutrition (PCM), is an immune organ affected by malnutrition. To assess the role of biliary immunoglobulin A (S-IgA), part of the barrier to bacterial invasion from the gastrointestinal tract, the following study was performed. Seventy-eight Fisher female inbred rats weighing 110-130 g were randomly separated into two groups. The control rats were fed standard rat chow. The experimental rats were fed a 2% agar protein depletion (PCM) diet (USP XV). The biliary tract of the rat was cannulated with Silastic tubing and bile flow and rat secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) was sampled at intervals. S-IgA was measured by the Elisa method. Total bile protein was measured by micro-Kjeldahl. Bile was collected from the rats on day 0, 7, 14, 21, 29, 36, 42, and 49. During the study, the weight of rats fed the PCM diet decreased from 127.4 +/- 14.5 g at day 0 to 83 +/- 2.6 g on day 37. Control rats gained weight from 124.4 +/- 14.5 g at day 0 to 153.6 +/- 3.8 g at day 37. Total biliary protein at day 0 was 2.52 +/- .05 mg/ml and at day 36 was 2.51 +/- 11 mg/ml for PCM rats and 2.57 +/- 10 mg/ml for control rats. Normal rats and control rats both had an initial increase of S-IgA from 2.74 +/- 73 mg/ml on day 0 to 5.75 +/- 1.75 mg/ml on day 37. Both PCM and control rats demonstrated an increase in S-IgA levels despite significant loss of weight in the experimental group. Similarly, total biliary protein was not decreased in either group. The results suggest that gut immune system is preserved despite significant protein calorie malnutrition.

description: The generalizability of empirical findings to new environments, settings or populations, often called "external validity," is essential in most scientific explorations. This paper treats a particular problem of generalizability, called "transportability," defined as a license to transfer causal effects learned in experimental studies to a new population, in which only observational studies can be conducted. We introduce a formal representation called "selection diagrams" for expressing knowledge about differences and commonalities between populations of interest and, using this representation, we reduce questions of transportability to symbolic derivations in the do-calculus. This reduction yields graph-based procedures for deciding, prior to observing any data, whether causal effects in the target population can be inferred from experimental findings in the study population. When the answer is affirmative, the procedures identify what experimental and observational findings need be obtained from the two populations, and how they can be combined to ensure bias-free transport.

description: Historic maps and nautical charts originating between 1882 and 1971 and available in the archives were analyzed to evaluate the coastal dynamics of Suriname. The maps were digitized and georeferenced. Although the accuracy and spatial scale of these historic maps is limited they still contain valuable useful information. Satellite images for studying the coastline are only available since 1984. Results show that after a period of coastline retreat between 1882 and 1905, important progradation of the Suriname occurred between 1905 and 1971.

description: The age composition, growth parameters, size distribution and sex ratio of Sillago suezensis caught from Iskenderun Bay in Northeastern Mediterranean Sea were investigated. Female and male composition of the population was determined as 40.37 and 59.63%, respectively. Total length of females ranged between 12.30 and 24.20 cm, while it was between 11.50 and 22.50 cm for males. The length (L)-weight (W) relationships for males and females were estimated as W = 0.0071 × L3.014 and W = 0.0070 × L3.020, respectively. Age data derived from otolith readings were used to estimate the growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation. The estimated parameters for all individuals were: L∞ = 35.65 cm, K = 0.299 year-1 and t0 = -0.288 year. Asymptotic length L∞ revealed greater growth for males than females. Growth constant K was slightly higher in females than in males. The maximum age was 5 years for females and males. The 1-year-old group was dominant amongst males whereas the 2-year-old group was dominant within females. The condition factor was 0.739 ± 0.005 for females and 0.742 ± 0.004 for males. Spawning period of S. suezensis determined to be between April and August. Overall total mortality was estimated as 0.96 year-1, natural mortality was 0.85 year-1 and fishing mortality was 0.11 year-1.

description: Marine policies and best management practices are urgently needed to preserve coastal biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, the lack of integration of European, national and regional policies is one of the main causes of coastal marine degradation in an example of outermost island regions, the Canarian archipelago. The implementation of the European Directives, Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) offers an excellent opportunity to develop a coastal integrative management schedule for the Canary Islands. These Directives are characterized by a holistic approach to establish the ecological state of coastal water masses. We herein explore the current legislative framework in the Canary Islands regarding the coastal environment with special emphasis on fisheries, environmental and conservation policies. A close collaboration among European, National and Regional Administrations is needed in order to fulfill current conservation and management requirements.

description: Five-component minimum-energy bound states and mobile vector solitons of a spin-orbit-coupled quasi-one-dimensional hyperfine-spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate are studied using the numerical solution and variational approximation of a mean-field model. Two distinct types of solutions with single-peak and multi-peak density distribution of the components are identified in different domains of interaction parameters. From an analysis of Galilean invariance and time-reversal symmetry of the Hamiltonian, we establish that vector solitons with multi-peak density distribution preserve time-reversal symmetry, but cannot propagate maintaining the shape of individual components. However, those with single-peak density distribution violate time-reversal symmetry of the Hamiltonian, but can propagate with a constant velocity maintaining the shape of individual components.

description: This study describes, for the first time, larval growth stages of red scorpionfish, Scorpaena scrofa (Linnaeus, 1758) from 0 until 63 days post hatching (DPH) in order to provide information about organogenesis. Moreover, it could constitute a first step toward the determination of the functional capabilities of the larvae and, consequentially, their rearing needs. Based on the main morpho-histological characteristics, four main stages have been established: lecitotrophic (0-1 DPH), lecitoexotrophic (2-4 DPH), exotrophic I (5-19 DPH) and exotrophic II (20-63 DPH). Scorpaena scrofa larvae use exclusively the endogenous reserves as energy source until first day. At the same time, the other organs appear as clusters of undifferentiated cells or anlage. During stage II, the yolk sac it is reabsorbed, and mouth and anus open outwards. At this stage, the energy needs is satisfied by endogenous reserves and exogenous nutrition. Therefore, even the structures that, directly and indirectly, support the exogenous feeding (hepatocytes, pancreatic cells, gall bladder) increase their specialization. The energy that is provided from food, is used for an intense organogenesis and for a strong specialization of organs that characterize the third stage of larval development. From stage IV onwards, most organs and structures essentially appear in their final morphology and increase exclusively in size.

The experiment is performed using a delayed four wave mixing configuration where the transverse optical information of a probe field carrying OAM associated with its azimuthal phase dependence is stored in the CPO of Zeeman sublevels of the hyperfine transition $F=3\rightarrow F^{\prime}=2$ of cesium $D_{2}$ line. We also demonstrate experimentally the simultaneous storage and retrieval of different OAM states propagating along different directions in space, leading to algebric operations with OAM and therefore opening the possibility of multiplexing OAM states.

description: One-hundred and two patients with hemophilia A, hemophilia B, or acquired antibody to factor VIII who had undergone invasive procedures were cross referenced with patients participating in an ongoing prospective natural history study of HIV-1 infection in hemophiliacs. Matching revealed that HIV-1 status was known for 83 patients (83%) who had undergone 169 procedures between July 1979 and April 1988. Invasive procedures were classified as clean in 108 patients (63.9%), clean-contaminated in 45 (26.6%), contaminated in 2 (1.2%), and infected in 14 (8.3%). Wound infection rates by HIV-1 status were as follows (95% confidence intervals): HIV+ 1.4% (0% to 5%), HIV- 0% (0% to 9%), and procedure before testing HIV+ 1.5% (0% to 6%). There were no significant differences between the wound infection rates of HIV-positive and HIV-negative hemophiliacs nor in the wound infection rate among all three subgroups of patients (p greater than 0.5, Fisher's Exact Test). We conclude that surgery in HIV-1-infected patients who have not progressed to AIDS does not entail an increased risk of postoperative wound infections.

description: Three hundred forty-eight teaching (TH) and 282 nonteaching (NTH) hospitals were surveyed to determine how intensive care unit (ICU) care is delivered to surgical patients and current views on surgical critical care. Teaching hospitals were more likely than NTHs to have a separate surgical ICU (92% versus 37%), a dedicated ICU service/physician (37% versus 7%), and a surgeon as director of the ICU (67% versus 29%). All THs and 33% of NTHs provided 24 hour in-house coverage for the ICU. A majority of respondents preferred a surgeon as ICU director (TH, 85%; NTH, 67%) and felt that critical care was an essential part of surgery (THs, 87%; NTHs, 74%). Most (THs, 58%; NTHs, 56%) thought that a cooperative effort between the primary service and an ICU service provided better patient care, but only 37% of THs and 22% of NTHs provided care with such a system. Many (THs, 45%; NTHs, 33%) thought that surgeons are willingly relinquishing ICU care. Surgeons continue to desire responsibility for their patients in the ICU and most prefer ICU service involvement provided by surgeons. This discrepancy between what is practiced and what is desired, along with proposed changes in reimbursement for surgery and the recent definition of critical care as an essential part of surgery, may stimulate greater involvement of surgeons in critical care.

description: We define and compute the $L^2$ metric on the framed moduli space of circle invariant 1-instantons on the 4-sphere. This moduli space is four dimensional and our metric is $SO(3) \times U(1)$ symmetric. We study the behaviour of generic geodesics and show that the metric is geodesically incomplete. Circle-invariant instantons on the 4-sphere can also be viewed as hyperbolic monopoles, and we interpret our results from this viewpoint. We relate our results to work by Habermann on unframed instantons on the 4-sphere and, in the limit where the radius of the 4-sphere tends to infinity, to results on instantons on Euclidean 4-space.

description: Artystyczne techniki powielania obrazu w języku używanym przez artystów nazywane są grafiką warsztatową lub artystycznymi technikami drukowania. Część z nich należy traktować jako historyczne techniki powielania obrazu. Miały one za zadanie powielanie oryginałów artystycznych bądź służyły do rozpowszechniania oryginałów malarskich lub graficznych. Reprodukcja poligraficzna oparta o fotografię i elektroniczne przetwarzanie obrazu nie ma jeszcze stu pięćdziesięciu lat. W związku z tym do powielania (rozmnażania) tego, co dziś uzyskujemy w procesie drukowania, niezbędne były historyczne artystyczne metody powielania obrazu. Niektóre z tych technik stosowane są nawet dzisiaj jako techniki przemysłowe. Są to: staloryt, światłodruk i sitodruk. Monografia, którą Państwu proponujemy, ma być przewodnikiem po artystycznych technikach drukowania dla studentów studiujących w szkołach technicznych (a więc dla przyszłych inżynierów) na kierunkach związanych z papiernictwem i poligrafią. Może być pomocna pasjonatom historii sztuki, ale w żadnym wypadku nie pretenduje do nauczania historyków sztuki. Monografia została napisana przez dwoje inżynierów poligrafów, a nie historyków sztuki.

description: Inflammation of the appendix is a common cause of acute abdominal pain. The etiology and pathophysiology of appendicitis have been well described. The initiating factor often is obstruction of the appendiceal lumen by inspissated stool, barium, food, parasites, or hyperplastic lymphoid tissue. Two patients have been identified who developed appendicitis temporally related to blunt abdominal trauma, without other clear etiology. Although absolute documentation of trauma as an etiologic factor in these cases is difficult, theoretical mechanisms for the occurrence are discussed. In the setting of right lower quadrant pain following mild to moderate blunt abdominal trauma, acute appendicitis should be considered as a possibility.

description: Experiments on the feeding of the Moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita have shown that digestion time of zooplankton typically varies between 2.2 and 5.1 h depending on the body weight of the predator, diet composition, amount of food, and seawater temperature. The daily ration of a Moon jellyfish with a wet body mass of 1 g reached 0.025-2.845 mg zooplankton.ind-1.day-1 corresponding to a carbon-specific food uptake of 0.2-9.1% C day-1 with a mean value around 0.5% C day-1. Such mesozooplankton consumption rates are consistent with the ration values (around 0.9% C day-1) calculated from the feeding rate experiments of jellyfish at natural food concentrations. However, in both cases the amount of mesozooplankton was insufficient to compensate for the minimum food requirements, calculated from oxygen consumption (6.7 ± 0.6% C day-1) of the jellyfish. On average, the metabolic expenses of A. aurita were about one order of magnitude greater than its ration supplied by mesozooplankton, indicating the important role of visually overlooked food components in the jellyfish diet.

description: The first randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled human trials of recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for pressure sore treatment were performed. Three different concentrations of bFGF in five dosing schedules were tested for safety using hematology, serum chemistries, urinalysis, absorption, antibody formation, and signs of toxicity. Efficacy was evaluated by wound volumes, histology, and photography. No toxicity, significant serum absorption, or antibody formation occurred. In six of eight subgroups, there was a trend toward efficacy with bFGF treatment. When all subgroups were combined, comparison of the slopes of the regression curves of volume decrease over initial pressure sore volume demonstrated a greater healing effect for the bFGF-treated patients (p < 0.05). Histologically, bFGF-treated wound sections demonstrated increased fibroblasts and capillaries. More patients treated with bFGF achieved > 70% wound closure (p < 0.05). Blinded observers were able to distinguish differences in visual wound improvement between bFGF and placebo groups. These data suggest that bFGF may be effective in the treatment of chronic wounds.

description: OBJECTIVE: This study used population-based data bases to assess the association of trauma centers with per capita county hospitalization and trauma death rates in the State of North Carolina. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The current study extended previous work using two North Carolina data bases to assess the association of the presence of a trauma center with per capita county trauma death rates. METHODS: Data on per capita county trauma hospitalizations and deaths were obtained from the state hospital discharge data base and the North Carolina Medical Examiner's data base. Bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques were used. The dependent variables of interest were prehospital, hospital, and total trauma death rates and hospitalization rates for injury. RESULTS: Bivariate analysis identified a number of factors associated with per capita county hospitalizations and trauma death rates. These included the per cent unemployment, racial distribution, county alcohol tax receipts, and advanced life support certified emergency medical services providers. The per capita trauma death rates were significantly lower in counties with trauma centers compared with those without trauma centers (4.0 +/- 0.5 and 5.0 +/- 1.1 deaths per 10,000 population, p = 0.0001, respectively). The per capita hospitalizations for trauma were also lower in counties with trauma centers. Multivariate modeling showed that the presence of a trauma center and advanced life support providers were the best predictors of decreased per capita county trauma death rates. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that the presence of a trauma center and advanced life support training were the two medical system factors that were the best predictors of the per capita county prehospital and total trauma death rates. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that trauma centers are associated with a decrease in trauma death rates.
