description: The neural correlates of conscious somatosensory perception are usually investigated using threshold detection tasks. However, it is largely unclear how other aspects of conscious somatosensory experience, such as localization, discrimination, and identification, are processed in the brain. Here, we go beyond mere stimulus detection and analyze the EEG data of 34 participants to investigate the event-related potential correlates of somatosensory experience in a temporal discrimination task. We show that the perceptual experience of feeling one vs. two pulses for identical pairs of electrical stimuli is reflected in positive fronto-central ERP activity after ~ 150 ms, even when controlling for task-relevance and post-perceptual processes such as decision-making and response preparation. This effect is a modulation of an ERP component that peaks considerably later at 170 ms and in a different sensor region than the detection-related so-called N140, which was not modulated by our task. Distributed source reconstruction of the sensor-level effect suggested the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex as its origin. We therefore propose that conscious detection and temporal discrimination are likely to both involve early sensory areas but recruit different neuronal processes. Our result adds to the growing body of research investigating the mechanisms underlying different aspects of conscious experience.

description: Background and purpose — Gaining experience in the surgery room during residency is an important part of learning the skills needed to perform arthroplasties. However, in practice, patients are often not fully comfortable with trainee involvement in their own surgery. Therefore, we investigated complications, revision rates, mortality, and operative time of orthopedic surgeons and residents as primary surgeon performing total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) or total hip arthroplasties (THAs). Patients and methods — In this multi-center retrospective cohort study, 3,098 TKAs and 4,027 THAs performed between 2007 and 2013 were analyzed. Complications, revisions, mortality, and operative time were compared for patients operated on by the orthopedic surgeon or a resident as primary surgeon. An additional analysis was performed to determine whether the complication risk was affected by the postgraduate year of the resident. Results — Orthopedic complication rates were similar (TKA: orthopedic surgeon: 10%, resident: 11%; THA: 9% and 8%), revision rates (TKA: 3% and 2%, THA: 3% and 2%), or mortality rates (TKA: 0.1% and 0.3%, THA: 0.2% and 0.3%). For both procedures a higher non-orthopedic complication rate was found in the resident group (TKA: 8% and 10%; p = 0.03, THA: 8% and 10%; p = 0.01) and a slightly longer operative time (TKA: mean difference 9.0 minutes (8%); THA: 11.3 minutes (11%)). Interpretation — Complications, revisions, and mortality were similar in TKAs or THAs performed by the resident as primary surgeon compared with surgeries performed by an orthopedic surgeon. This data can be used in teaching hospitals and may help to reassure patients.
Caspar Bauhin (1560-1624): Swiss anatomist and reformer of anatomical nomenclature

description: Caspar Bauhin (1560-1624) was a Swiss anatomist, physician and botanist. He commenced the study of medicine at a young age in Basel but had to move to Padua after an outbreak of plague in his native place. In Padua, he was privileged to study under Fabricius ab Aquapendente, an accomplished anatomist of his time, and other pioneers in the field of medicine, surgery and botany. He travelled extensively through Italy, France and Germany before finally returning to Basel, where he started to conduct public anatomy dissections and in due course was appointed to the Chair of Anatomy and Botany at the University of Basel. His treatise, Theatrum anatomicum (1605), was considered as the finest comprehensive text in anatomy during that period. Theatrum was highly appreciated as it followed a systemic approach with focus on anatomical anomalies and had a useful set of illustrations. His major contribution to Anatomy was the introduction of a descriptive terminology which replaced the prevalent trend of naming the structures with ordinal numbers and cleared the confusion among anatomists in relation to identification of structures. He was the first to describe the anterior lingual glands (Bauhin’s gland), which are seromucous glands located near the tip of tongue. He is presumed to be the first to report the ileocecal valve, which is also known as Bauhin’s valve. Bauhin’s contributions are a true testimony of his legacy in the domain of anatomical sciences.

description: The study was conducted on one hundred and seventeen human sacra to categorize the sacral hiatus of West Bengal population to improve the accuracy of caudal epidural block for anesthesia and analgesia. Various contours of hiatus were observed in this study which included inverted U (70.09%), inverted V (14.53%), irregular (12.82%), bifid (1.71%) and dumbbell (0.85%).The most frequently observed positions of apex and base of the hiatus were fourth and fifth sacral vertebrae respectively (74.36% and 95.73%). The average length, width and depth of hiatus were 20.21 mm, 12.10 mm and 6.02 mm with standard deviation of 7.7 3mm, 3.13 mm and 2.43 mm respectively. All the measurements were taken by Vernier calipers. Only in 27.35% cases the points on the lateral sacral crests at the level of first sacral foramina formed an equilateral triangle with the apex of the hiatus and thus could be used as an important landmark to locate sacral hiatus.

Putting People in Parks: a case study on the impact of community involvement in conservation
Creators: name: Connolly, April
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Traditional methods of conservation involving the development of strict park boundaries have proven ineffective on a global scale as they do not take into consideration the needs and desires of local communities. This paper demonstrates that incorporating community involvement into the management of conservation areas is a more effective means of developing local-specific and sustainable conservation programs than the traditional park system. These community-based conservation projects have been adopted in both developed and developing countries worldwide. By comparing two case study community-based conservation projects in a developed (Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve in Canada) and a developing (Richtersveld Transfrontier Park in South Africa) country, this paper reveals differences and similarities that can be applied to the incorporation of community involvement in conservation as a whole. The main difference between community-based conservation in developing and developed countries is the emphasis placed on rural development over conservation as a management goal; with developing countries emphasizing rural development and developed countries emphasizing conservation. Despite differences in the importance of rural development, many similarities lie between community-based conservation in developing and developed countries, such as the mindset of local people and the human rights issues involving land claims. The similarities and differences between community-based conservation in developing and developed countries are necessary to better adapt conservation to local needs and the long-term sustainability of natural resources.

description: The vast majority of cells are protected and functionalized by a dense surface layer of glycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. This surface represents an underexplored space in structural biology that is exceedingly challenging to recreate in vitro. Here, we investigate β-barrel protein dynamics within an asymmetric outer membrane environment, with the trimeric autotransporter Yersinia adhesin A (YadA) as an example. Magic-angle spinning NMR relaxation data and a model-free approach reveal increased mobility in the second half of strand β2 after the conserved G72, which is responsible for membrane insertion and autotransport, and in the subsequent loop toward β3. In contrast, the protomer–protomer interaction sites (β1i–β4i–1) are rigid. Intriguingly, the mobility in the β-strand section following G72 is substantially elevated in the outer membrane and less so in the detergent environment of microcrystals. A possible source is revealed by molecular dynamics simulations that show the formation of a salt bridge involving E79 and R76 in competition with a dynamic interplay of calcium binding by E79 and the phosphate groups of the lipids. An estimation of overall barrel motion in the outer membrane and detergent-containing crystals yields values of around 41 ns for both. The global motion of YadA in the outer membrane has a stronger rotational component orthogonal to the symmetry axis of the trimeric porin than in the detergent-containing crystal. In summary, our investigation shows that the mobility in the second half of β2 and the loop to β3 required for membrane insertion and autotransport is maintained in the final folded form of YadA.

description: Background and purpose — The UCLA Activity Scale (UCLA) is a questionnaire assessing physical activity level from 1 (low) to 10 (high) in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty (HA/KA). After translation and cultural adaptation, we evaluated the measurement properties of the Danish UCLA. Patients and methods — After dual panel translation, cognitive interviews were performed among 55 HA/KA patients. An orthopedic surgeon and a physiotherapist estimated UCLA scores for 80 KA patients based on short interviews. Measurement properties were evaluated in 130 HA and 134 KA patients preoperatively and 1-year postoperatively. Results — To suit Danish patients of today, several adaptations were required. Prior to interviews, 4 patients were excluded, and 11 misinterpreted the answer options. Examiners rated the remaining 65 patients (mean age 67 years) 0.2–1.6 UCLA levels lower than patients themselves. The 130 HA and 134 KA patients (mean age 71/68 years) changed from 4.3 (SD 1.9)/4.5 (1.8) preoperatively to 6.6 (1.8)/6.2 (1.0) at 1-year follow-up. 103 (79%) HA and 89 (66%) KA patients reported increased activity. Effect sizes were large (1.2/0.96). Knee patients reaching minimal important change (MIC, ≥ 8 Oxford Knee Score points) had higher 1-year UCLA scores than patients not reaching MIC. Interpretation — Original scale development was undocumented. Content validity was questionable, and there was discrepancy between patient and examiner estimates. UCLA appears valuable for measuring change in self-reported physical activity on a group level. 4 out of 5 HA patients and 2 out of 3 KA patients were more physically active 1 year after joint replacement surgery.

description: We report on the generation of F2B–As═BF, an arsinoborene (boranylidenearsane) with a genuine As═B double bond, where both the As and B atoms are two-coordinate. It was obtained from the reaction of AsF3 with laser-ablated boron atoms under cryogenic conditions in neon and argon matrices. In addition, the single-bonded arsenic–boron radicals FB–AsF2 and F2B–AsF were characterized. These species were identified by infrared spectroscopy and 10/11B isotope substitution in conjunction with quantum-chemical calculations at the B3LYP and CCSD(T) levels of theory. The isomerization from FB–AsF2 to F2B–AsF can be triggered by irradiation with ultraviolet light (λ = 275 nm) in argon. This discovery of the arsinoborene F2B–As═BF further extends the series of multiple-bonded systems between heavy main group elements and boron.

description: The axillary artery is a continuation of the subclavian at the outer border of first rib. Reports of anatomic variations of the axillary artery encountered during cadaveric dissection are not uncommon. However, abnormal branching patterns of the axillary artery identified on imaging studies are rare. We encountered an abnormal branch of the right axillary artery, which descended along the lateral thoraco-abdominal wall and gave off branches to the liver capsule before terminating at the level of the ipsilateral iliac crest. Knowledge of this variation, which we term the axillo-hepatic artery, will be of interest to anatomists, radiologists and adult- and pediatric- surgeons operating on the upper chest and abdominal regions. To our knowledge, such a vessel has not been reported previously in the extant medical literature.

description: Background and purpose — The trochanteric stabilizing plate (TSP) may be used as an adjunct to a sliding hip screw (SHS) in the treatment of trochanteric fractures to increase construct stability. We performed a scoping review of the literature to clarify when and how the TSP may be useful. Methods — A systematic search was performed in 5 databases and followed by a backwards-and-forwards citation search of the identified papers. 24 studies were included. Results — 6 biomechanical studies and 18 clinical studies were included in the review. The studies presented mainly low-level evidence. All studies were on unstable trochanteric fractures or fracture models. Due to the heterogeneity of methods and reporting, we were not able to perform a meta-analysis. In the biomechanical trials, the TSP appeared to increase stability compared with SHS alone, up to a level comparable with intramedullary nails (IMNs). We identified 1,091 clinical cases in the literature where a TSP had been used. There were 82 (8%) reoperations. The rate of complications and reoperations for SHS plus TSP was similar to previous reports on SHS alone and IMN. It was not possible to conclude whether the TSP gave better clinical results, when compared with either SHS alone or with IMN. Interpretation — The heterogeneity of methods and reporting precluded any clear recommendations on when to use the TSP, or if it should be used at all.

Various complications have been reported during transcutaneous trigeminal neuralgia treatment. We report an adult female on whom transcutaneous cannulation of the foramen ovale was not possible. Subsequent imaging revealed a causative elongation of the spine of the sphenoid that distorted the foramen ovale and effectively blocked it. Variations in bony anatomy may complicate transcutaneous approaches to the foramen ovale for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

description: Background and purpose — Improving health care and demographic change have resulted in a steady increase in geriatric patients undergoing total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and severe complication after major surgery. Therefore, we analyzed the impact of POD on outcome after THA and TKA. Patients and methods — In a consecutive series of 10,140 patients who had undergone elective THA or TKA between 2011 and 2020, rates of reoperation within 90 days, readmission within 90 days, complications, and responder rate as defined by the OMERACT-OARSI criteria were compared between patients with and without POD. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between POD and other postoperative complications. Results — Patients with POD showed higher rates of reoperation (12% vs. 5%), readmission (15% vs. 5%), surgical complications (7% vs. 2%), non-surgical complications (8% vs. 4%), Clavien–Dindo IV° complications (10% vs. 2%) and transfusion (14% vs. 2%). POD led to lower responder rate (76% vs. 87%) 1 year after total joint replacement. All previous comparisons statistically significant. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed POD as an independent risk factor for reoperation (OR = 2; CI 1–3), readmission (OR = 2; CI 2–4) and Clavien–Dindo IV° complications (OR = 3; CI 2–5). Interpretation — POD is a serious problem in elective joint replacement. Affected patients suffer more complications and show poor patient-reported outcome 1 year postoperatively. Systematic prevention strategies and standardized therapy protocols are mandatory to avoid burden to patients and healthcare providers.
Somatic embryogenesis of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and subalpine larch (Larix lyallii.) for conservation purposes
Creators: name: Toon, Sandra M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study was initiated with the aim of establishing somatic embryogenesis culture from lodgepole pine (for clonal propagation of superior genotypes with mountain pine beetle resistant genotypes) and subalpine larch (for conservation purposes), both of which have never been attempted prior. Cones were collected on Mt Frosty, Manning Provincial Park for larch and from Vernon Ministry of Forestry orchard (307) for lodgepole pine. Optimum stage of cone maturity for initiation success was tested by 4 collections, made at 1 week intervals for lodgepole pine and 3 collections made at 2 week intervals for subalpine larch. Three media were compared: modified Litvay medium, as standard and low and DCR. Pro-embryonal mass (PEM) from lodgepole pine developed as early as 4 weeks, which is twice as fast when compared to subalpine larch (8 weeks). Desired cone maturity was present in lodgepole pine collections 3 and 4, but never present for subalpine larch. In conclusion, no embryogenic tissue was obtained from either species.

description: We propose a family of weighted statistics based on the CUSUM process of the WLS residuals for the online detection of changepoints in a Random Coefficient Autoregressive model, using both the standard CUSUM and the Page-CUSUM process. We derive the asymptotics under the null of no changepoint for all possible weighing schemes, including the case of the standardised CUSUM, for which we derive a Darling-Erdos-type limit theorem; our results guarantee the procedure-wise size control under both an open-ended and a closed-ended monitoring. In addition to considering the standard RCA model with no covariates, we also extend our results to the case of exogenous regressors. Our results can be applied irrespective of (and with no prior knowledge required as to) whether the observations are stationary or not, and irrespective of whether they change into a stationary or nonstationary regime. Hence, our methodology is particularly suited to detect the onset, or the collapse, of a bubble or an epidemic. Our simulations show that our procedures, especially when standardising the CUSUM process, can ensure very good size control and short detection delays. We complement our theory by studying the online detection of breaks in epidemiological and housing prices series.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This report analyzes Taiwan as a potential trading partner with Canada for wood products. It takes a look at Taiwan’s economic conditions to see if Canada can establish a partnership with Taiwan. It contains information on Taiwan’s current wood market and determines if there are any Canadian wood organizations in Taiwan. An outline is given to guide Canadian organizations on starting a partnership with these Taiwanese companies. The outcome of this report has found that there is a market for lumber products in wood frame construction. Factors for this demand in wood frame construction are green architecture, earthquake resistant buildings, demand for natural aesthetics, and tourism development. There is a partnership between Taiwan and some Canadian organizations but there needs to be more initiatives between the two countries.

description: It is assumed that the diminution of the sense of smell is one of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease [Wang J et al, 2010.; Cheng N et al., 2013]. In our research we investigated on the relationship of olfactory and visual systems [Kemp SE & amp; Gilbert AN, 1997], since a change in the perception of the light system is one of recognized marker of Alzheimer's disease [Javaid FZ et al., 2016]. The 4 rats Wistar were entered 100 μM 150 nL L-glutamic acid in the unilateral anterior olfactory nucleus, AON (anesthesia – ketamine-acepromazine- xylazine). In the control group rats were anesthetized rats only (n = 4). All rats were trained twice before operation in the Morris water maze for 10 days and were determined the olfactory threshold. Both groups of rats were tested in the water maze and in the olfactory test after 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 days. In this period the diminution of the sense of smell was revealed after AON destruction. Disturbance stereotypy was revealed during the search platform in the Morris water maze. Defragmented neurons and their processes were found in the frontal and occipital regions of the brain slices after staining for acetylcholinesterase. The question about the reasons for the destruction of cells in the cerebral cortex is debated.
Influence of lexical context on mismatch negativity elicited by pseudowords processing
Creators: name: Memetova, Kristina

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: The present study is designed to establish how lexical context influences the MMN latency and amplitude when the pseudowords are presented. The ERPs were recorded according by using only pseudowords or pseudowords and words with different lexical frequencies. We found the generation of different MMN patterns when the same pseudoword was presented in different contexts. The pseudoword presented in context with another pseudowords demonstrated the smaller amplitude and the bigger MMN latency. Whereas the same pseudoword presented in context with words led to the significantly enhanced amplitude and the decreased latency of MMN. It is supposed that the pseudoword presented in context with words is perceived as conceptually different stimulus leading to the significantly enhanced MMN.

Moreover, the hypothesis of lexical frequency influence on MMN has been supported. We found that the presentation of a high-frequency word led to the significantly more pronounced MMN response relative to a low-frequency one (Aleksandrov A.A. et al.). We hypothesize that different amounts of activation depend on the words lexical representation strength.

description: The production of spoken language involves three major levels of processing: conceptualization, formulation, and articulation. The level of articulation allows evaluating speech intelligibility, the emotional state of the speaker, identifies the speaker's voice, to reveal irregularities in the articulation in the oral cavity. Spectrographic method provides information about the vibrations of the vocal cords (fundamental frequency or pitch values) and articulation in the oral cavity (formants frequencies). The movements of articulation can be registration via articulogramma. At the same time this method quite complete to the healthy adults. Glottographic method is used for analysis of vocal folds vibration. The spectrographic method is non-invasive. This method could be taken in clinic and for child speech studies. For example: spectrographic analysis of early infants vocalizations  reveals the combination of voice features specific for neurological disease: percent of noise spectrum in the vocalizations, duration of vocalizations and the pauses between the phonations, the pitch values and amplitude modulation coefficient. The vowels acoustic features  - duration, pitch, formant frequencies and its amplitude, effect of coarticulation let us show the dynamics of child's articulation mastering. Such speech disorders as dysarthria require a special approach, but for non-specific speech disorders accompanying atypical development (ex. autism spectrum disorders – ASD) acoustic parameters which can form the basis of bio-markers for early diagnosis of ASD. Analysis of gramma and pragmatic of speech, electroencephalography, and EP are taken for consideration for asses of child's psychophysiological status and speech structures maturity. Complex analysis of child psychophysiological features and speech on different levels is important for early diagnosis of developmental risk.

Subjects: parotid gland; parotid duct; duplication; autopsy

description: The parotid gland is drained by the parotid duct which normally measures 50 mm in length and 3 mm in width. The parotid duct emerges at the anterior border of the gland and runs horizontally across the masseter muscle to pierce the buccinator and open into the vestibule of the mouth. The occurrence of double parotid duct is 7% and there are only very few literature references. The parotid gland develops as an epithelial bud arising from the oral ectoderm and invaginating into the underlying mesenchyme. The proximal part canalises to form the duct and the distal end differentiates to form the acini. An early division of the parotid duct with acini from both ducts intermingling with each other results in the formation of double parotid duct. The cytodifferentiation and morphogenesis of parotid gland are influenced by cell specific gene expression and cell-matrix interactions that produce collagen responsible for branching and hyaluronidase responsible for acini formation. The awareness of presence of a double parotid duct is significant in ductal endoscopic procedures and in performing surgery in the parotid region.

description: In humans, the spleen is the body’s largest secondary lymphoid organ and filterer of blood. The trabeculated structure of the spleen, which is formed in its early embryonic development, provides its three-dimensional framework designed to remove senescent erythrocytes and eliminate blood-borne microorganisms and/or dubious antigens. At a later date this lobulated framework can develop into notches which usually manifest along its anterior (superior) border. This study addresses the clinical significance and developmental basis of both numerous notches and multiple accessory spleens observed in a male human cadaver. The nine notches were all observed on the anterior and inferior borders, whilst the accessory spleens numbered four, with two localized at the splenic hilum and the other two upon the splenorenal and splenocolic ligaments respectively. In the present study, we propose an aetiological origin for the anomalous multi-notches and accessory spleens, which will provide primary benefit for surgeons and radiologists because of clinical significance.

Subjects: medial collateral ligament; knee; anatomy; biomechanics; reconstruction; review

description: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most important stabilizer of the medial side of the knee together with the capsuloligamentous complex. As such, it has a distinctive role in joint stability, as far as its biomechanics are concerned, and major joint stability issues onset when it is injured or deficient. One of the main functions of the medial collateral ligament is mechanical as it passively stabilizes the knee and help in guiding it through its normal range of motion when a tensile load is applied. It exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical behaviour, like all ligaments, and under low loading conditions it is relatively compliant, perhaps due to recruitment of “crimped” collagen fibres as well as to viscoelastic behaviours and interactions of collagen and other matrix materials. Continued ligament-loading results in increasing stiffness until a stage is reached where it exhibits nearly linear stiffness and beyond this it continues to absorb energy until it is disrupted. In addition, the function of the MCL has to do with its viscoelasticity which assists the maintainance of joint congruity and homeostasis. The treatment of grade III medial collateral ligament injuries (with gross valgus instability at 0° of flexion) is still controversial. The most severe injuries (especially with severe valgus alignment, intra-articular medial collateral ligament entrapment, large bony avulsions, or multiple ligament involvement) may require acute operative repair or augmentation. In addition, surgical reconstruction is indicated for isolated symptomatic chronic medial collateral ligament laxity. The optimal surgical treatment remains controversial. More studies with evidence of level I and II are required in order to clarify the pros and cons of any solution.

Subjects: suprascapular foramen; superior transverse scapular ligament; ossification; variations; case report; review

description: Ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament resulting in a bony suprascapular foramen is of fundamental anatomical and clinical importance. In this case report, we describe a special case of a suprascapular foramen. Its specificity lies in foraminal dimensions, resulting in a unique morphometrical pattern in comparison with reported similar cases. This pattern is of great anatomical and clinical importance, because ossification of suprascapular foramen leads to limitation of suprascapular notch, over which suprascapular nerve passes. Ossification can consequently constitute a major predisposing factor for suprascapular nerve entrapment and subsequent neuropathy. Therefore, this anatomic variation should be considered from surgeons and other healthcare professionals.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The term mangrove refers to woody perennial plants that can grow in salt water, and to the communities that they form. Mangroves are only found in tropical or sub-tropical areas and so are not native to British Columbia. Although they may not be aesthetically appealing, these plants are vital to the local ecosystems and human communities. Many years of various management practices have depleted mangrove populations leaving local communities vulnerable. Over the past years, there have been many natural disasters that have damaged coastal cities and towns. Therefore, current management practices and strategies such as restoration and conservation will be reviewed. Solutions to management issues like education and communication will also be discussed.

description: Die Versorgung der wachsenden Bevölkerung mit nachhaltigen, lokalen und qualitativ hochwertigen Nahrungsmitteln stellt eine große Herausforderung dar. Gleichzeitig stehen Agrar- und Ernährungssysteme vor Problemen wie begrenzte Ressourcen, der hohe Energieaufwand bei der Düngemittelproduktion sowie Lieferkettenproblematiken und massive Preissteigerungen aufgrund globaler Krisen. Mehr Regionalität und eine Kreislaufführung der eingesetzten Ressourcen sind zentrale Lösungsansätze. Die SUSKULT-Vision sieht die Integration von Agrarsystemen an Kläranlagen als die Möglichkeit an, Nährstoffe effizienter zu nutzen und die lokale, nachhaltige Lebensmittelproduktion zu fördern.

Die vorliegende Umsetzungshilfe bietet für die Raum- und Stadtentwicklung, die die Einrichtung von SUSKULT-Anlagen in ihren urbanen Räumen nutzen möchten, einen Einstieg. Sie dient als handlungsfördernde Anregung für die praktische Planung und Realisierung von Maßnahmen zur Förderung der SUSKULT-Vision sowie weiterer Ansätze hydroponischer (erdloser) urbaner Landwirtschaft.

description: We implement circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) with quantum dots in bilayer graphene, a maturing material platform for semiconductor qubits that can host long-lived spin and valley states. The presented device combines a high-impedance ($Z_\mathrm{r} \approx 1 \mathrm{kΩ}$) superconducting microwave resonator with a double quantum dot electrostatically defined in a graphene-based van der Waals heterostructure. Electric dipole coupling between the subsystems allows the resonator to sense the electric susceptibility of the double quantum dot from which we reconstruct its charge stability diagram. We achieve sensitive and fast detection with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.5 within 1 $μ\mathrm{s}$ integration time. The charge-photon interaction is quantified in the dispersive and resonant regimes by comparing the coupling-induced change in the resonator response to input-output theory, yielding a maximal coupling strength of $g/2π = 49.7 \mathrm{MHz}$. Our results introduce cQED as a probe for quantum dots in van der Waals materials and indicate a path toward coherent charge-photon coupling with bilayer graphene quantum dots.
