Versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network

A quantum teleportation network involving multiple users is essential for future quantum internet.So far,controlled quantum teleportation has been demonstrated in a three-user network.However,versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network involving more users is in demand,which satisfies different combinations of users for practical requirements.Here we propose a highly versatile and controlled teleportation network that can switch among various combinations of different users.We use a single continuous-variable six-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ)state to realize such a task by choosing the different measurement and feedback operations.The controlled teleportation network,which includes one sub-network,two sub-networks and three sub-networks,can be realized for different application of user combinations.Furthermore,the coherent feedback control(CFC)can manipulate and improve the teleportation performance.Our approach is flexible and scalable,and would provide a versatile platform for demonstrations of complex quantum communication and quantum computing protocols.

Purification and Characterization of a Versatile Peroxidase from Edible Mushroom Pleurotus eryngii

A versatile peroxidase (VP-Peco60-7 ) was generated and purified from the liquid culture of Pleurotus eryngii. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, and gel chromatography. The molecular weight and isoelectric point (pI) of VP-Peco60-7 were determined to be approxi-mately 40 kDa and 4.1, respectively. By N-terminal sequence determination and peptide mapping analysis, VP-Peco60-7 was found to be similar to the versatile peroxidase isoenzyme VPL1, which was previously isolated from liquid cultures of the same species. However, the molecular weight and pI of VP-Peco60-7 were different from those of versatile peroxidases of liquid cultures, implying that the VP-Peco60-7 in this study is of a novel type. With 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) as a substrate, the maximal enzyme activity was obtained at 50 °C and pH 3.0. The catalysis of ABTS by VP-Peco60-7 was expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equa-tion. At 50 °C and pH 3.0, the maximum velocity (V max ) was 188.68 U·mg-1 and the michaelis constant (K m ) was 203.09 μmol·L-1 .

A versatile nano-TiO_(2) decorated gel separator with derived multi-scale nanofibers towards dendrite-blocking and polysulfide-inhibiting lithium-metal batteries

In this study,a versatile fluorine-bearing gel membrane with multi-scale nanofibers was rationally designed and synthesized via facile one-step blend electrospinning of nano-titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))particles and fluorinated poly-m-phenyleneisophthalamide(PMIA)polymer solution.The prepared multiscale TiO_(2)-assisted gel separator presented relatively high porosity,small aperture,giving rise to superior affinity to electrolyte and sufficient active sites to accelerate lithium ions migration.Meanwhile,the asfabricated multifunctional GPE also rendered outstanding heat-resistance and well-distributed lithiumions flux,and the mutual overlaps between the coarse fibers and the fine fibers within the multi-scale nanofiber membrane provided a strong skeleton support,which in turn laid a solid footing stone for high-security and dendrite-proof batteries.Particularly,the nano-TiO_(2) particles within PMIA membrane acted as"gatekeepers",which can not only resist the growth of lithium dendrites,but also intercept the dissolved polysulfide on cathode side.Based on these merits,the gel PMIA-based lithium cobalt(LCO)/lithium battery obtained the remarkably improved rate capability and cycle performances on account of superior ionic conductivity,steady anodic stability window and weakened polarization behavior.Meanwhile,the resultant lithium-sulfur cell also delivered the outstanding cycling stability with the aid of the greatly prevented"shuttle effect"of dissolved lithium polysulfides based on the physical trapping and chemical binding of the prepared GPE to polysulfides species.This work proved that the addition of functional inorganic nanoparticles similar with TiO_(2) in multi-scale gel PMIA membrane can enhance the lithium ions transport capability,resist the growth of lithium dendrites as well as inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfides,which would prompt a great development for dendrite-blocking and polysulfideinhibiting lithium-metal cells.

High Speed Versatile Reed-Solomon Decoder for Correcting Errors and Erasures

A new Chien search method for shortened Reed-Solomon （RS） code is proposed, based on this, a versatile RS decoder for correcting both errors and erasures is designed. Compared with the traditional RS decoder, the weighted coefficient of the Chien search method is calculated sequentially through the three pipelined stages of the decoder. And therefore, the computation of the errata locator polynomial and errata evaluator polynomial needs to be modified. The versatile RS decoder with minimum distance 21 has been synthesized in the Xilinx Virtex-Ⅱ series field programmable gate array （FPGA） xe2v1000-5 and is used by coneatenated coding system for satellite communication. Results show that the maximum data processing rate can be up to 1.3 Gbit/s.

A versatile cloning vector facilitates target geneexpression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Objective： To facilitate manipulation of gene expression in different host cells, we used pEGFP-N1 as backbone to construct a versatile vector that can drive foreign gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Methods： A cloning and expression vector, pEGFP-NI-lac, was constructed by inserting the prokaryotic lac promoter of pUC 19 into the eukaryotic expression vector, pEGFP-N1, between the eukaryotic PCMV promoter and enhanced green fluorescent protein （EGFP） open reading frames. To assess the function of pEGFP-NI-lac, the nucleotide sequence encoding the hepatitis C virus （HCV） core protein was cloned into the multiple cloning sites. Western blotting analysis was used to detect the expression of the HCV core protein in Escherichia coli DH5a and HepG2 cells. Results： Restriction enzyme digestion and sequence analysis indicated that pEGFP-NI-lac was successfully constructed and the HCV core gene was cloned into this vector. The Western blotting results showed that pEGFP-NI-lac promoted expression of HCV core gene in prokaryotic E. coli DH5a and eukaryotic HepG2 cells. Conclusion： The pEGFP-NI-lac vector has been successfully constructed and functions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The EGFP reporter can be used as an insert-inactivation marker for clone selection or as an expression tag. This vector can be used for cloning and expression of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, making gene cloning, expression and functional studies convenient as well as time- and labor-efficient

Versatile Leadership, LVI and Their Application in Skoda Auto a.s.

The paper starts with a presentation of the versatile leadership model developed by Kaplan and Kaiser and of their 360 feedback tool Leadership Versatility Index （LVI）. Versatility can be generally defined as a mastery of opposites, as the ability to play multiple roles, even contradictory ones, without emphasizing some at the expense of others. The LVI has been designed to help managers understand their repertoire and how they can become more versatile leaders. It employs an innovative rating scale on which ideal score ＂0＂ is in the middle of it （the right amount）, flanked by underdoing to the left （too little） and overdoing to the right （too much）. The idea is to avoid the ＂more is better＂ design trap by providing a way for raters to indicate when managers go to counterproductive extremes. The LVI works with two-sided view of leadership based on two major pairs of opposites： directive vs. supportive leadership and execution vs. strategy. Interventions based on the LVI results help to overcome traditional behaviorism as they combine the outer work （behavioral change） with the inner work （personal change） of development. Application of the LV1 on a sample of the managers from Skoda Auto a.s. and verification of its practical value represented the core of the SAVS IGA project MM/O7/02. The last part of the paper is devoted to a presentation of the findings from this project. The LVI has been found to be both original and a very useful 360 feedback tool which can be addressed to two general groups of clients： （1） experienced senior managers; and （2） young perspective managers in the beginning of their career.

Urchin-like multiscale structured fluorinated hydroxyapatite as versatile filler for caries restoration dental resin composites

Caries is one of the most prevalent human diseases,resulting from demineralization of tooth hard tissue caused by acids produced from bacteria,and can progress to pulpal inflammation.Filling restoration with dental resin composites(DRCs)is currently the most common treatment for caries.However,existing DRCs suffer from low fracture strength and lack comprehensive anti-caries bioactivity including remineralization,pulp protection,and anti-cariogenic bacteria effects.In this study,inspired by plant roots’ability to stabilize and improve soil,fluorinated urchin-like hydroxyapatite(FUHA)with a three-dimensional whisker structure and bioactive components of calcium,phosphorus,and fluorine was designed and synthesized by a dynamic self-assembly method.Furthermore,versatile FUHA particles with different loading fractions were used as functional fillers to fabricate methacrylate-based DRCs,where the urchin-like hydroxyapatite(UHA)filled DRCs and commercial DRCs(Z350XT and BEAUTIFIL II)served as the control groups.The results demonstrated that FUHA with 50 wt%loading in resin matrix endowed DRC(F5)with excellent physicochemical properties,dentin remineralization property,cell viability,promotion of dental pulp stem cells mineralization,and antibacterial properties.Meanwhile,F5 also presented good clinical handling and aesthetic characteristics.Therefore,structure/functional-integrated FUHA filled DRCs have potential as a promising strategy for tooth restoration and anti-caries bioactivity.

Development of practical and versatile electrophilic difluoromethylating reagent is still a grand challenge so far due to its inherent instability or low reactivity.Herein,we report the design and synthesis of difluoromethyl phenoxathiinium tetrafluoroborate(PT-CF_(2)H^(+)BF_(4)^(-)) as a novel difluoromethylating reagent,which proves to be a bench-stable,general,powerful and versatile reagent with divergent·CF_(2)H,CF_(2)H^(+),and:CF_(2) reactivities.Making use of this reagent,we demonstrated a vast array of difluoromethyl radical transfer reactions via diverse pathways involving photocatalyst-free visible-light induction,visible-light photoredox catalysis and visible-light mediation single electron transfer of EDA complex.Moreover,the green and highly effective CF_(2)H^(+) and:CF_(2) transfer reactions were also readily accomplished.

Recent advances of versatile reagents as controllable building blocks in organic synthesis

Diversity-oriented synthesis is a powerful and interesting synthetic tool for the rapid construction of structurally complex and privileged scaffolds from readily accessible starting materials.To date,diversity-oriented synthesis mostly relies on the employment of versatile reagents.Versatile reagents can be regulated as controllable and flexible building blocks for multipurpose utilizations.Over the past decade,a variety of multifunctional reagents have been developed.However,most versatile reagents usually need multi-step synthesis,thus restricting their wide application to a large extent.In terms of the practicalities and universalities,we prefer to pay more attention to the utilization of simple and practical versatile reagents with multiple reactivities,mainly including atropaldehyde acetals,aryl methyl ketones,vinylene carbonate,vinyl azides,aryldiazonium salts,rongalite,halodifluoromethyl compounds.Most importantly,these versatile reagents can also play different roles simultaneously in the same reaction,in which their different reactivities are converged into the final target products.Such strategy can not only offer more possibilities for the synthesis of several active pharmaceutical ingredients,but also minimize the occurrence of some side reactions by lessening the varieties of materials.Also,a perspective is given at the end of this review.

Mimicking Mytilus edulis foot protein:A versatile strategy for robust biomedical coatings

Universal coatings with versatile surface adhesion,good mechanochemical robustness,and the capacity for secondary modification are of great scientific interest.However,incorporating these advantages into a system is still a great challenge.Here,we report a series of catechol-decorated polyallylamines(CPAs),denoted as pseudo-Mytilus edulis foot protein 5(pseudoMefp-5),that mimic not only the catechol and amine groups but also the backbone of Mefp-5.CPAs can fabricate highly adhesive,robust,multifunctional polyCPA(PCPA)coatings based on synergetic catechol-polyamine chemistry as universal building blocks.Due to the interpenetrating entangled network architectures,these coatings exhibit high chemical robustness against harsh conditions(HCl,pH 1;NaOH,pH 14;H2O2,30%),good mechanical robustness,and wear resistance.In addition,PCPA coatings provide abundant grafting sites,enabling the fabrication of various functional surfaces through secondary modification.Furthermore,the versatility,multifaceted robustness,and scalability of PCPA coatings indicate their great potential for surface engineering,especially for withstanding harsh conditions in multipurpose biomedical applications.

Memristors are playing an increasingly important role in developing in-memory computing.Versatile memristors which offer both volatile and non-volatile performances can be employed as both memories and selectors,displaying unique advantages for developing novel electronic circuits.Herein,the remarkable multifunctional memristor with switchable operating modes between volatile and non-volatile by regulating compliance currents is implemented in Ag/CIPS/Au(CIPS:CuInP_(2)S_(6))device.Diode-like volatile memristor performances with the rectification ratio of 10^(3) and an endurance of 500 switching cycles were obtained.Meanwhile,significant non-volatile memory performances with on/off ratio of 10^(3)and retention up to 10^(4)s were also developed,which enables it to be utilized as selectors and memories simultaneously.Moreover,such versatile memristor can emulate the short-term plasticity(STP)and long-term plasticity(LTP)of artificial synapse,demonstrating its advantages in neuromorphic computing applications.

scPlant:A versatile framework for single-cell transcriptomic data analysis in plants

Single-cell transcriptomics has been fully embraced in plant biological research and is revolutionizing our understanding of plant growth,development,and responses to external stimuli.However,single-cell tran-scriptomic data analysis in plants is not trivial,given that there is currently no end-to-end solution and that integration of various bioinformatics tools involves a large number of required dependencies.Here,we pre-sent scPlant,a versatile framework for exploring plant single-cell atlases with minimuminput data provided by users.The scPlant pipeline is implemented with numerous functions for diverse analytical tasks,ranging from basic data processing to advanced demands such as cell-type annotation and deconvolution,trajec-tory inference,cross-species data integration,and cell-type-specific gene regulatory network construc-tion.In addition,a variety of visualization tools are bundled in a built-in Shiny application,enabling explo-ration of single-cell transcriptomic data on the fly.

Versatile Recyclable Kevlar Nanofibrous Aerogels Enabled by Destabilizing Dynamic Balance Strategy

Aerogels are of great interest in diverse fields including thermal insulation,environmental protection,liquid separation,electromagnetic shielding,etc.However,the development of renewable and recyclable aerogels,especially synthetic pol-ymer-based ones,remains an enormous challenge,which seriously hinders the practical application of aerogels.Herein,utilizing Kevlar nanofibers(KNFs)as representative synthetic polymer building blocks,a destabilizing dynamic balance(DDB)strategy is proposed to fabricate recyclable aerogels with high reprocessing consistency.More specifically,aprotic esters(e.g.,di-tert-butyl decarbonate,DiBoc)and alkalis(e.g.,potassium tert-butoxide,t-BuOK)are introduced to trigger the destabilizing dynamic balance between deprotonation–protonation of KNFs,resulting in a reversible sol–gel transition.Meanwhile,the duration of sol–gel transition(i.e.,gelation)time,adjustable from 10^(–2)to 10^(3)min,is compatible with versatile processing methods,such as static mould casting,dynamic wet spinning,dynamic blade coating and dynamic 3D printing.These unique advantages enable the fabrication of various KNF aerogel products(i.e.,continuous fibers,continuous films,large-sized monoliths and 3D-printed articles)with low density(33–165 mg/cm3),high compressive modulus(up to 52 MPa),high specific surface area(360–404 m^(2)/g)and low thermal conductivity(0.027–0.050 W/m·K).Notably,these properties are comparable or superior to that of previously reported KNF aerogels and far superior to that of recyclable aerogels.Compared with direct fabrication from raw materials,the DDB strategy reduces the cost by 50.5%and 82.5%when products are made from recycled aerogels and wet gels,respectively.Such cost reduction further increases with the number of recycling cycles,which is calculated as$275 per kilogram KNF aerogel with 5 cycles.This work develops extraordinary KNF aerogels those can be recycled and reused,as well as provides a strategy that can be applied to design more recyclable aerogels.

A multi-layer modelling approach for mining versatile ports of a global maritime transportation network

International ports play critical roles in maintaining transportation flows and sustaining the effectiveness of global maritime logistics.Although the concept of versatile ports has been introduced to represent the specific patterns that these ports play at the regional and global levels,there is still a need for the design and development of computational approaches that support these notions.This paper introduces a flexible multi-layer network approach for an international maritime network whose interest is that it offers a flexible model that favours the identification of the different transportation flows and versatile ports.The model is complemented by a series of structural indices complemented by a new overlap measure that evaluates the specific role of a given port across various transportation trades.The whole approach is implemented and experimented with using massive AIS maritime data that supports the automatic generation of the multi-layer network,and derivation of the structural measures while maintaining a flexible view of the maritime network.The experiments applied to the global maritime transportation network identify key versatile ports and highlight significant differences at the regional and trade flow levels.
