A Heuristic Remote Entanglement Distribution Algorithm on Memory-Limited Quantum Paths (2022)

Remote entanglement distribution plays a crucial role in large-scale quantum networks, and the key enabler for entanglement distribution is quantum routers (or repeaters) that can extend the entanglement transmission distance. However, the performance of quantum routers is far from perfect yet. Amongst the causes, the limited quantum memories in quantum routers largely affect the rate and efficiency of entanglement distribution. To overcome this challenge, this paper presents a new modeling for the maximization of entanglement distribution rate (EDR) on a memory-limited path, which is then transformed into entanglement generation and swapping sub-problems. We propose a greedy algorithm for short-distance entanglement generation so that the quantum memories can be efficiently used. As for the entanglement swapping sub-problem, we model it using an Entanglement Graph (EG), whose solution is yet found to be at least NP-complete. In light of it, we propose a heuristic algorithm by dividing the original EG into several sub-problems, each of which can be solved using dynamic programming (DP) in polynomial time. By conducting simulations, the results show that our proposed scheme can achieve a high EDR, and the developed algorithm has a polynomial-time upper bound and reasonable average runtime complexity.
An Algorithm to Optimize the Layout of Boxes in Pallets (1980)

The problem of Optimum Pallet Layout at Rowntree Mackintosh Ltd is discussed. Production constraints reduce this three-dimensional box packing problem into the two-dimensional problem of packing large numbers of identical rectangles orthogonally into fixed-size containing rectangles. The exact solution procedure was found to require prohibitive amounts of computer time. A non-exact procedure is therefore described, its validity demonstrated, and the results obtained exhibited graphically in the form of a Pallet Layout Chart. This work has been implemented at Rowntree Mackintosh Ltd where improved pallet layouts and better design of new box shapes have resulted in cash savings.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Beam Management for High Speed Applications in mmWave Spectrum (2020)

Future new radio (NR) systems will support high speed applications in the millimeter wave (mmWave) range. To improve user experience, accurate beam management is proposed based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This paper also proposes a training set generation method and its manipulation which can properly train the proposed algorithm by exploiting channel characteristics. To collect measurement data before training, we propose a practical data acquisition method based on the reference signal defined in the current NR specification. Evaluation results show that the accuracy approaches 98 percent for beam selection both with ideal hardware and with hardware impairments including phase noise and amplitude noise, as the number of epoch increases. From the results, we confirm that the proposed AI-based beam management can predict the desired beam accurately as well as has robustness to hardware impairments that are crucial in millimeter wave spectrum.
Incompatibility of Ceftriaxone Sodium with Calcium-containing Products (2009)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incompatibility of ceftriaxone with calcium-containing products, which had been the subject of an ALERT issued by the FDA. The influence of calcium ion concentration, storage temperature and shaking on the appearance and quantity of insoluble microparticles in mixtures of the two was examined using a light obscuration particle counter and a stereomicroscope. Appropriate volumes of 2% (w/v) calcium chloride solution were added to ceftriaxone sodium for injection (10 mg/ml) to make solutions with final calcium ion concentrations of 0.5-2.5 mmol/l, and stored at 20 degrees C, 25 degrees C, or 30 degrees C. The number of insoluble microparticles increased on storage when the calcium ion concentration of the sample was > or =2 mmol/l; it exceeded the permissible range at all temperatures by 1 h. The microparticles had a greater diameter at higher temperatures, although fewer microparticles were observed. The weight of precipitate increased as a function of both the calcium ion concentration and the temperature. The number of microparticles was also significantly increased by shaking. The number of microparticles in mixtures containing 1000 microg/ml ceftriaxone was significantly increased, even though concentrations of calcium ion was 1.25 mmol/l. Overall, not only calcium ion concentration, but storage temperature and shaking affected the extent of precipitation of ceftriaxone with calcium.
Encapsulation of Hemoglobin in Mesoporous Silica (FSM)—Enhanced Thermal Stability and Resistance to Denaturants (2007)

Hemoblogin (Hb), which is a typical oligomeric protein, was introduced into the pores of mesoporous silica (FSM: folded-sheet mesoporous material) that had a diameter of 7.5 nm. Soret CD spectra of Hb-FSM-7.5 conjugates showed a peak that was identical to that of free Hb. This suggests that Hb retained its highly ordered structure in the mesoporous silica. In addition, the UV-visible absorption spectrum showed that Hb had an increased resistance to heat denaturation in the silica. Even after heat treatment at 85 degrees C, Hb-FSM-7.5 retained its ligand-binding activity. The stability of Hb-FSM-7.5 was examined further by measuring its peroxidase-like activity. Encapsulation of Hb resulted in the retention of activity in the presence of high NaCl or Gdn-HCl levels. This suggests that encapsulation prevented dissociation and denaturing. Thus, it seems that the mesopores created a favorable environment for the oligomeric protein to perform its function, even under harsh conditions.
VASCULARISED FIBULA FOR ONCOLOGICAL RESECTIONS (14 CASES): WHICH FIXATION SHOULD BE USED? (2004)

Purpose: Reconstruction using a revascularised fibula has advantages in terms of remodelling the transplant to the stress forces and of better resistance against infections. Osteosynthesis offers mechanical advantages (stabilisaton facilitating primary and stress fracture healing) but with the risk of preventing hypertrophy of the fibula which is not exposed to the stress forces. Material and methods: Our series of 25 vascularised fibular transfers (maximum follow-up 15 years) concerned post-trauma tissue loss (11 cases) and tumour resections (14 cases). For this study of remodelling, we retained only oncological reconstructions because in the event of trauma sequelae, many factors can interfer (infection, preservation of the homolateral fibula with tibial tissue loss). None of the patients were lost to follow-up and remodelling was assessed at two years or more. Results: There was one failure requiring leg amputation (infected nonunion of the distal tibia on a radiated osteo-sarcoma). All the other fibulae healed. Three metaphyseal resections of the distal femur were assembled with a lateral plate using the fibula as a medial strut under compression. This type of assembly favours remodelling and excellent results were obtained in three cases. Five arthrodeses of the knee were performed using a fibula with a femorotibial nail. Healing was slow and the fibula thickened little, particularly when it was simply apposed on the tutor (three cases) rather than encased under compression (two cases). For five proximal humeri, use of a thin plate in three cases (forearm plate) was sufficient to allow healing without inhibiting remodelling. Discussion: For the lower limb, good remodelling is obtained with an assembly allowing compression of the fibula placed medially to the shaft alignment. For metaphyseal loss, we advise a lateral plate with a fibular strut medially. For arthrodesis, a nail is probably more prudent. The position of the lateral tutor decreases the stress on the fibula and is recommended less than the medial strut position. For the humerus, synthesis is required but may be minimal to allow optimal remodelling. Conclusion: Vascularised fibula transfer is a reliable technique which can be recommended for major resections (mean 160 mm) in active subjects. Axial compression forces applied to the graft and use of light osteosynthesis appear to favour healing and remodelling.
Zero-bias anomaly and possible superconductivity in single-walled carbon nanotubes (2006)

We report measurements of field-effect transistors made of isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes contacted by superconducting electrodes. For large negative gate voltage, we find a dip in the low-bias differential resistance. Remarkably, this dip persists well above the superconducting transition temperature of the electrodes, indicating that it is not caused by superconducting proximity effect from the electrodes. This conclusion is supported by measurements on carbon nanotubes contacted by normal electrodes showing similar features. One possible explanation is superconductivity in the nanotubes, occurring when the gate voltage shifts the Fermi energy into van Hove singularities of the electronic density of states.
Atomic-resolution TEM Studies of Pillar-Matrix Structures in Epitaxially Grown Ultrathin ZrO2-La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 Films (2014)

We studied ZrO2-La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 pillar matrix thin films which were found to show anomalous magnetic and electron transport properties controlled by the amount of ZrO2. With the application of an aberration corrected transmission electron microscope, structure and chemical information of the system, especially of the pillar matrix interface were revealed at atomic resolution. Minor amounts of Zr were found to occupy Mn positions within the matrix and its solubility within the matrix was found to be less than 6 mol%. Moreover, the Zr concentration reached minimum concentration at the pillar matrix interface accompanied by oxygen deficiency. La and Mn diffusion into the pillar was observed along with a change of the Mn valence state. La and Mn positions inside ZrO2 pillars were also revealed at atomic resolution. These results provide detailed information for future studies of macroscopic properties of these materials.
Distributed Cooperative Control of Multiple UAVs in the Presence of Actuator Faults and Input Constraints (2022)

A distributed cooperative control algorithm of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with directed topology is investigated in this brief. To overcome the actuator faults and external disturbance, incremental sliding mode formation controller is developed to realize the distributed coordination of the UAVs system, where an adaptive mechanism is utilized to deal with the chattering problem. Moreover, to reduce the adverse influence of input saturation, an auxiliary system is introduced to regulate the control signals. It is shown by Lyapunov method that the stability of the proposed algorithm can be guaranteed. A numerical example is given to illustrate that all follower UAVs can track the leader UAV.
Control landscapes for observable preparation with open quantum systems (2007)

A quantum control landscape is defined as a function(al) of the system control variables that are to be optimized, and it was introduced to understand the successes in quantum control experiments. This paper explores the control landscape for observable preparation under the circumstance where the environment has an influence on the quantum system to be controlled. Provided that the open system is fully controllable, the analysis proves that there are no false traps to be encountered on the way to finding the absolute landscape maximum. This provides theoretical support for the observed ease of obtaining high quality controls in the laboratory, and opens up perspectives to develop more efficient quantum control algorithms.
How supportive Transfer Climate Affects Individual’s Motivation to Training Transfer (2014)

Training transfer is an important concern for researchers and practitioners due to the huge budget on training but lower estimation of transfer in practical domains. Researches revealed training design, trainees’ characteristics and work environment characteristics are the most important sets of variables in a training context. This study intended to examine individuals’ cognition of motivation with perceived organizational transfer climate by structural equation modeling (SEM) from broad industries in Taiwan. 500 questionnaires were sent to participants and 316 usable returns in 63.2% return rate were computed. The results revealed the predictor role of the positive organizational transfer climate to both motivation to learn and motivation to transfer. Both motivation to learn and motivation to transfer predict training transfer and played mediator roles of transfer climate to training transfer. Moreover, motivation to transfer also mediated motivation to learn to training transfer. In addition to confirm the prediction role of positive organizational transfer climate, this study contributed to reinforce the relationship among motivation to learn, motivation to transfer, and training transfer.
North Slope Heavy-Oil Sand-Control Strategy: Detailed Case Study of Sand Production Predictions and Field Measurements for Alaskan Heavy-Oil Multilateral Field Developments (2005)

Abstract The North Slope of Alaska has billions of barrels of heavy oil residing in largely undeveloped reservoirs. Despite this large volume of heavy oil in place, the majority of reserves development on the slope to date has been focused on light crude. However over the past 20 years Arco, BP, Conoco and now ConocoPhillips have begun to develop the North Slope’s vast heavy oil resource base. Recently a sand/solids control study was undertaken by ConocoPhillips and BP in order to determine the most economic strategy for solids control and well design in future heavy oil developments. The study was integrated across companies, organizations and discipline boundaries in order to include completion, rock mechanics, laboratory research, drilling, reservoir, geological, operations, facilities and field personnel. With this diverse team, actual solids production and solids predictions were investigated from a number of different perspectives. Solids production predictions were made based on core measurements, log analysis, simulators that predict formation failure and sand production rate, laboratory core flow tests, 2 years of field shakeout data, and multiple field measurements of solids production. Probabilistic predictions were then generated based on these investigations rather than deterministic "best guesses" for the economic analysis. These different methods for predicting solids production will be discussed and illustrated in this case study. The study and ensuing strategy determined that sand management or using non-sand exclusion slotted liners and sand tolerant facilities was the highest value development scenario over the life cycle of the North Slope Heavy Oil Developments.
Total Thyroidectomy Does Not Enhance Disease Control or Survival Even in High-Risk Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (1998)

Total thyroidectomy in high-risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (containing follicular histology, vascular invasion, or extracapsular extension) showed no benefit over partial thyroidectomy. This suggests that the general use of total thyroidectomy is not indicated, except in highly selected patients.
Infrared Spectroscopy in H2O, D2O and CH3OH (1959)

As the technique of infrared spectroscopy has developed, more and more problems have arisen where it would be desirable to be able to measure the infrared spectrum of a compound in water or alcoholic solutions.
Static Analysis of Sandwich Panels with Square Honeycomb Core (2008)

Static analysis of sandwich panels with a square honeycomb core is performed using the finite element approach applied to the plate theories. The constitutive behavior of an equivalent continuum to the core is obtained using the strain energy approach. The displacement field of the sandwich panel modeled using the equivalent continuum is then compared with results obtained from a highly detailed finite element method created in ABAQUS. The comparison shows the results of the higher-order shear deformation theory in error of 7.6% compared with the detailed model results. An equivalent single layer finite element method for the sandwich panel was then created in ABAQUS and the displacement results of this equivalent single layer model are compared with those obtained from the detailed finite element method. This comparison reveals an error of 6.1% in the results between the two models. A comparison between the equivalent single layer model and the highly detailed model is presented for different core relative densities at two locations of the sandwich panel. A detailed finite element method analysis of the unit cell of the square honeycomb was next performed using ABAQUS and the flexibility approach. Comparison between the equivalent strain energy approach and flexibility approach applied to detailed ABAQUS models of the unit cell proved the equivalent strain energy approach to be efficient.

Sports massage could not improve the recovery after eccentric exercise.
Animal models of psychiatric disorders and their relevance to alcoholism. (2000)

Animal models are important tools in the study of psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism, because they allow the use of research methods that cannot be used for ethical reasons in humans. Consequently, scientists have developed numerous approaches to evaluate the validity and reliability of animal models for studying human behavior and human disorders. Researchers have developed animal models of schizophrenia, fear and anxiety, depression, and alcoholism, all of which are being used to study the relationship between alcoholism and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. These models may help researchers and clinicians determine how best to treat patients with alcoholism and co-occurring psychiatric disorders.
Preventive Effect of Antioxidative Nutrient‐Rich Enteral Diet Against Liver Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury (2018)

Antioxidative nutrient supplementation to an ordinary enteral diet may mitigate liver IRI by causing an antioxidant effect and suppressing inflammation.
Activity of human adenylate cyclase from human fat cell membranes. (1975)

Purified adipocytes plasma membranes have been prepared from human adipose tissue. The presence of an adenylate cyclase sensitive to epinephrine and fluoride has been demonstrated. Activation of the adenylate cyclase was usually 2 to 4 fold in the presence of epinephrine 5.10-5M and 8 to 10 fold in the presence of fluoride 10 mM. The adenylate cyclase from human adipose tissue was insensitive to glucagon and ACTH; these results are in support of previous studies of lipolysis in isolated fact cells or tissue fragments from human adipose tissue.
Tolerance in liver transplantation: Biomarkers and clinical relevance (2016)

Transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage organ failure, and modern immunosuppression has allowed important progress in short-term outcomes. However, immunosuppression poorly influences chronic rejection and elicits chronic toxicity in current clinical practice. Thus, a major goal in transplantation is to understand and induce tolerance. It is well established that human regulatory T cells expressing the transcription factor FoxP3 play important roles in the maintenance of immunological self-tolerance and immune homeostasis. The major regulatory T cell subsets and mechanisms of expansion that are critical for induction and long-term maintenance of graft tolerance and survival are being actively investigated. Likewise, other immune cells, such as dendritic cells, monocyte/macrophages or natural killer cells, have been described as part of the process known as "operational tolerance". However, translation of these results towards clinical practice needs solid tools to identify accurately and reliably patients who are going to be tolerant. In this way, a plethora of genetic and cellular biomarkers is raising and being validated worldwide in large multi-center clinical trials. Few of the studies performed so far have provided a detailed analysis of the impact of immunosuppression withdrawal on pre-existing complications derived from the long-term administration of immunosuppressive drugs and the side effects associated with them. The future of liver transplantation is aimed to develop new therapies which increase the actual low tolerant vs non-tolerant recipients ratio.
H syndrome: 5 new cases from the United States with novel features and responses to therapy (2017)

H syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory syndrome with pleiotropic manifestations that affect multiple organ systems and is often mistaken for other conditions. Rheumatologists should be aware of this syndrome and its association with arthritis. It should be considered in patients with short stature and systemic inflammation, particularly with cutaneous findings. Some patients respond to treatment with biologics alone or in combination with other immune suppressants; in particular, treatment of systemic inflammation with IL-6 blockade appears to be promising. Overall, better identification and understanding of the pathophysiology may help devise earlier diagnosis and better treatment strategies.
