It can be successfully realized with a certain probability which is determined by the smallest coefficients of n entangled pairs.

And m-qubit GHZ state is sufficient for the task of control by m spatially- separated supervisors. Conditioned on the local operations executed by all participants, Bob can faithfully restore the original state by performing relevant unitary transformations with the aid of some classical message about measurement results. Anyone's absence will absolutely lead to the failure of teleportation.展开更多

We show that onlyif the quantum channel satisfies a constraint condition can the most general d-dimensional N-particle unknown state beperfect conclusively teleported. We also present a method for optimal conclusively teleportation of the N-particle statesand for constructing the joint POVM which can discern the quantum states on the sender's (Alice's) side. Two typicalexamples are given so that one can see how our method works.展开更多

METHODS: We studied 174 consecutive unrelated homozygous for the C282Y HFE mutation of HH (C282Y+/+ HH) patients from Northern Italy, for whom the presence of cirrhosis could be determined based on histological or clinical criteria, without excessive alcohol intake (〈 30/20 g/d in males or females) or hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus viral hepatitis. Steatosis was evaluated in 123 patients by histology (n = 100) or ul- trasound (n = 23). The PNPLA3 rs738409 single nucle- otide polymorphism, encoding for the p.148M protein variant, was genotyped by a Taqman assay (assay on demand, Applied Biosystems). The association of the PNPLA3 I148M protein variant (p.I148M) with steatosis, fibrosis stage, and cirrhosis was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: PNPLA3 genotype was not associated with metabolic parameters, including body mass index (BMI), the presence of diabetes, and lipid levels, but the pres- ence of the p.148M variant at risk was independently associated with steatosis [odds ratio (OR) 1.84 per p.148M allele, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-3.31; P = 0.037], independently of BMI and alanine amino- transaminase (ALT) levels. The p.148M variant was also associated with higher aspartate aminotransferase (P = 0.0014) and ALT levels (P = 0.017) at diagnosis, independently of BMI and the severity of iron overload. In patients with liver biopsy, the 148M variant was independently associated with the severity (stage) of fibrosis (estimated coefficient 0.56 ± 0.27, P = 0.041). In the overall series of patients, the p.148M variant was associated with cirrhosis in lean (P = 0.049), but not in overweight patients (P = not significant). At logistic regression analysis, cirrhosis was associated with BMI 〉~ 25 (OR 1.82, 95% CI: 1.02-3.55), ferritin 〉 1000 ng/mL at diagnosis (OR 19.3, 95% CI: 5.3-125), and with the G allele in patients with BMI 〈 25 (OR 3.26, 95% CI: 1.3-10.3). CONCLUSION: The PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism may represent a permissive factor for fibrosis progression in patients with C282Y+/+ HH.展开更多

DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and cancer tissues. The genotypes of the polymorphisms were assessed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP).RESULTS: There were four NAT2 alleles of WT, M1, M2,and M3 both in the healthy subjects and in the patients,and 10 genotypes of WT/WT, WT/M1, WT/M2, WT/M3,M1/M1, M1/M2, M1/M3, M2/M2, M2/M3, M3/M3. M2 allele was present in 15.61% of healthy subjects and 29.52% of patients (X^2 = 15.31, P〈0.0001), and M3 allele was present in 30.59% of healthy subjects and 16.87% of patients (X^2 = 25.33, P〈0.0001). There were more WT/M2 (X^2= 34.42, P〈0.0001, odd ratio= 4.99, 95%CI = 2.27-9.38)and less WT/M3 (X^2 = 3.80, P = 0.03) in the patients than in the healthy subjects. In 70.3% of the patients, there was a difference in NAT2 genotype between their tumors and blood cells. Patients had more WT/M2 (7.2 = 5.11,P = 0.02) and less M2/M3 (X^2= 4.27, P = 0.039) in their blood cells than in the tumors. Furthermore, 53.8% (7/13)of M2/M3 in tumors were from VVT/M2 of blood cells.CONCLUSION: There is a possible relationship between the NAT2 polymorphisms and colorectal cancer in Hebei Han Chinese. The genotype WT/M2 may be a risk factor for colorectal cancer.展开更多

In order to realize this teleportation, the sender Alice operates Bell-state measurement on particles belonging to herself. Then she informs the results to the receiver Bob through classical communication. According to the results, Bob operates corresponding transformation to reconstruct the initial state. The advantage of this scheme is that it needs only one common unitary matrix for Alice's different results, which has a more general meaning. As a special case, teleporting an unknown three-particle entangled GHZ state is proposed.展开更多

METHODS: A cohort of 229 unrelated patients with UC recruited from a single centre and 261 healthy volunteers were analysed for the presence of Thr105Ile and His645Asp amino acid substitutions at histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) and diamine oxidase (ABP1) enzymes, respectively, by amplification-restriction procedures. All patients were phenotyped and followed up for at least 2 years (mean time 11 years). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the distribution of ABP1 alleles between ulcerative colitis patients and healthy individuals [OR (95% CI) for variant alleles = 1.22 (0.91-1.61)]. However, mutated ABP1 alleles were present with higher frequency among the 58 patients that required immunosuppresive drugs [OR (95 % CI) for carriers of mutated alleles 2.41 (1.21-4.83; P=0.006)], with a significant gene-dose effect (P= 0.0038). In agreement with the predominant role of ABP1 versus HNMT on local histamine metabolism in human bowel, the frequencies for carriers of HNMT genotypes or mutated alleles were similar among patients,regardless clinical evolution, and control individuals. CONCLUSION: The His645Asp polymorphism of the histamine metabolising enzyme ABP1 is related to severity of ulcerative colitis.展开更多

This has been due in part to the member countries' inadequate electrical power supply system, as well as load growth in areas which were not adequately planned for. This has induced the formation of organizations such as SADC (Southern African Development Community) and SAPP (Southern African Power Pool) that have the common goal of achieving development and economic growth in the region which comprises of 15 member countries. This paper presents results from a security analysis of the region's electric power supply system using a baseline level of performance. This was carried out by performing a steady-state contingency analysis on a SADC power network model subject to the N-1 criteria which expresses the ability of the power network to experience a contingency without causing an overload or failure in any other part of the network. Simulations were carried out using DigSilent.展开更多

The obtained Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3 p–n heterojunctions exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance in the removal of rhodamine B(RhB) compared with Ag3PO4 and Ag2CO3. The 40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3 composite photocatalyst(40 mol% Ag3PO4 and 60 mol% Ag2CO3) exhibits the best photocatalytic activity under visible light,demonstrating the ability to completely degrade RhB within 15 min. Transient photovoltage characterization and an active species trapping experiment further indicate that the formation of a p–n heterojunction structure can greatly enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and produce more free h+active species,which is the predominant contributor for RhB removal.展开更多

It is demonstrated that these methods are available for the steady-state model, which may be expressed as a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) with two-point boundary values. This method makes it possible not only to obtain the concentration profiles for MDEA system, but also to reveal the effect of CO2 interfacial concentration on the enhancement factor. With this numerical simulation, the mass transfer process with multicomponent diffusion and reactions can be better understood.展开更多

In order to investigate the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States, we introduce the algebraic properties of the PB phase operator and the PB Phase Coherent States which are constructed by PB phase theory. We applied amplitude-Nth-power squeezing theory to define the Amplitude-Nth-Power Squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States and investigate the characteristic of the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States. We obtained surprising results, in that the results were different from the other quantum states. As for |Z〉(PB Phase Coherent State), the results show that when Z is a real number there only exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component; when Z is a complex number, there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and component; when Z is a pure imaginary number, if N is odd, then there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and if N is even, then there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component.展开更多

The mean concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was 0.304).40 mg/dm3; generally, NO3-N was the main form in most areas. The mean concentrations of PO4-P and SiO3-Si were 0.0404).060 mg/dm3 and 1.00-1.50 mg/dm3, respectively. We proved that the majority of the SiO3-Si in the Dongshan Bay came from the Zhangjiang River, with some coming from the Bachimen Strait. DIN originated from both the Zhangjiang River and the Bachimen Strait. Most PO4-P originated from the Bachimen Strait, and some came from the Zhangjiang River. We found that P was an overall limiting factor to the phytoplankton community in most of the Dongshan Bay, and that Si and N were in surplus. However, near the Bachimen Strait Si became a limiting factor, especially for diatoms, while P and N were in comparative surplus. We used a potential eutrophication assessment method to analyze eutrophication, and showed that the most serious eutrophication occurred near the Zhangjiang River estuary and near the Bachimen Strait. In 2008, DIN levels were four times higher than that in 1988; PO4-P levels were three- fold higher, while SiO3-Si was approximately double. Dissolved nutrients increased between 1988 and 2008. DIN increased at the greatest rate comparing to PO4-P and SiO3-Si, thus the N/P and N/Si mol ratios increased. Further studies on the effects of high DIN concentrations on the phytoplankton communities and marine ecosystems of the Dongshan Bay are needed.展开更多

文摘Ebulliometric method based on the error analysis equation is presented for systems with the large phase equilibrium constant. Application is given for the determination and calculation of binary vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the ethanol+n-hexane system. It is also given the comparison results between the ebulliometric method based on the error analysis equation and the quasi-static method.
文摘The shooting method and the difference method are used for numerical simulation of CO2 absorption with aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). It is demonstrated that these methods are available for the steady-state model, which may be expressed as a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) with two-point boundary values. This method makes it possible not only to obtain the concentration profiles for MDEA system, but also to reveal the effect of CO2 interfacial concentration on the enhancement factor. With this numerical simulation, the mass transfer process with multicomponent diffusion and reactions can be better understood.
文摘PB Phase Coherent States are very important quantum states in quantum optics. In order to investigate the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States, we introduce the algebraic properties of the PB phase operator and the PB Phase Coherent States which are constructed by PB phase theory. We applied amplitude-Nth-power squeezing theory to define the Amplitude-Nth-Power Squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States and investigate the characteristic of the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States. We obtained surprising results, in that the results were different from the other quantum states. As for |Z〉(PB Phase Coherent State), the results show that when Z is a real number there only exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component; when Z is a complex number, there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and component; when Z is a pure imaginary number, if N is odd, then there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and if N is even, then there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component.

文摘We recorded NO3-N, NOz-N, NH4-N, PO4-P, SiO3-Si, salinity, and temperature data at 10 stations in the Dongshan Bay in May, June, July, August, October, and November 2008, analyzing nutrient and eutrophication characteristics. The mean concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was 0.304).40 mg/dm3; generally, NO3-N was the main form in most areas. The mean concentrations of PO4-P and SiO3-Si were 0.0404).060 mg/dm3 and 1.00-1.50 mg/dm3, respectively. We proved that the majority of the SiO3-Si in the Dongshan Bay came from the Zhangjiang River, with some coming from the Bachimen Strait. DIN originated from both the Zhangjiang River and the Bachimen Strait. Most PO4-P originated from the Bachimen Strait, and some came from the Zhangjiang River. We found that P was an overall limiting factor to the phytoplankton community in most of the Dongshan Bay, and that Si and N were in surplus. However, near the Bachimen Strait Si became a limiting factor, especially for diatoms, while P and N were in comparative surplus. We used a potential eutrophication assessment method to analyze eutrophication, and showed that the most serious eutrophication occurred near the Zhangjiang River estuary and near the Bachimen Strait. In 2008, DIN levels were four times higher than that in 1988; PO4-P levels were three- fold higher, while SiO3-Si was approximately double. Dissolved nutrients increased between 1988 and 2008. DIN increased at the greatest rate comparing to PO4-P and SiO3-Si, thus the N/P and N/Si mol ratios increased. Further studies on the effects of high DIN concentrations on the phytoplankton communities and marine ecosystems of the Dongshan Bay are needed.
