Ascertaining the influences of auxiliary qubits on the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering and its directions

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen(EPR) steering is an example of nontrivial quantum nonlocality and characteristic in the non-classical world.The directivity(or asymmetry) is a fascinating trait of EPR steering,and it is different from other quantum nonlocalities.Here,we consider the strategy in which two atoms compose a two-qubit X state,and the two atoms are owned by Alice and Bob,respectively.The atom of Alice suffers from a reservoir,and the atom of Bob couples with a bit flip channel.The influences of auxiliary qubits on EPR steering and its directions are revealed by means of the entropy uncertainty relation.The results indicate that EPR steering declines with growing time t when adding fewer auxiliary qubits.The EPR steering behaves as damped oscillation when introducing more auxiliary qubits in the strong coupling regime.In the weak coupling regime,the EPR steering monotonously decreases as t increases when coupling auxiliary qubits.The increases in auxiliary qubits are responsible for the fact that the steerability from Alice to Bob(or from Bob to Alice) can be more effectively revealed.Notably,the introductions of more auxiliary qubits can change the situation that steerability from Alice to Bob is certain to a situation in which steerability from Bob to Alice is certain.

Retrospective observation of therapeutic effects of adult auxiliary partial living donor liver transplantation on postpartum acute liver failure: A case report

We present a female patient with preterm labor, severe viral hepatitis B of acute phase, hepatic encephalopathy stage Ⅲ and coma.After delivery, the illness was exacerbated and the patient presented with clinical signs of vital organ dysfunctions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral edema and hypoxemia that needed mechanical ventilation.Emergency liver transplantation was recommended after multidisciplinary panel consultations.The donor, her mother, consented to donate her right liver.Auxiliary partial orthotopic living donor liver transplantion(APOLDLT) was performed.After operation, the patient was on triple medication of tacrolimus plus mofetil mycophenolate and prednisone for immunosuppression.The combination of antihepatitis B virus(HBV) immunoglobulin and entecavir was initiated for anti-HBV therapy.Both the patient and the donor recovered well without any complications.The patient was followed up regularly.Her liver function, clinical signs and symptoms improved significantly.Until now, the recipient has been living for more than 78 mo free of any complications.The APOLDLT is a life-saving modality for rescuing patients with high-risk acute liver failure following HBV infection without available donor and hence is recommended under standardized antiviral therapy coverage as stated above.

Non-Surgical Orthodontic Treatment of Class III Adult with Posterior Crossbite, Anterior Open Bite and Asymmetric Occlusion, Using TADs and Auxiliary Wires: A Case Report

Class III malocclusion associated with posterior crossbite, anterior open bite pattern with asymmetric occlusion in adults can be a challenging orthodontic problem, especially for the nonsurgical treatment. Skeletal Class III anteroposterior discrepancies in adult patients are generally managed either by surgical-orthodontic treatment or by orthodontic camouflage through dentoalveolar compensation. Although correction with surgery may be the most effective and stable way, many patients refuse surgical treatment plan because of the costs and traumas it may bring. This case report describes the successful use of TADs with expansion auxiliary wire to treat a 24-year-old man with skeletal class III malocclusion, posterior crossbite, anterior open-bite and asymmetric occlusion, mild upper and lower dental spacing and a chief manifestation of anterior crossbite. The patient refused surgery. A treatment plan was formulated consisting of using auxiliary expansion wire to expand the maxillary arch, 8 mm mini-screws between the roots of the mandibular canines and first premolars, preadjusted edgewise brackets to align the teeth, Class III and asymmetric elastics to correct the canines, premolars, and molars relationship and midline deviation, reverse curve of the nickel-titanium wire combined with anterior vertical elastics to intrude molars and correct the anterior open-bite. In this case, without going through surgery, the posterior cross-bite was corrected, and ideal overjet and overbite relationships, midline coincidence and functional occlusion were all achieved. Satisfactory occlusal, functional, esthetic and stable results were obtained.

Effect of Correlation Level on the Use of Auxiliary Variable in Double Sampling for Regression Estimation

While an auxiliary information in double sampling increases the precision of an estimate and solves the problem of bias caused by non-response in sample survey, the question is that, does the level of correlation between the auxiliary information x and the study variable y ease in the accomplishment of the objectives of using double sampling? In this research, investigation was conducted through empirical study to ascertain the importance of correlation level between the auxiliary variable and the study variable to maximally accomplish the importance of auxiliary variable(s) in double sampling. Based on the Statistics criteria employed, which are minimum variance, coefficient of variation and relative efficiency, it was established that the higher the correlation level between the study and auxiliary variable(s) is, the better the estimator is.

Estimation of Population Variance Using the Coefficient of Kurtosis and Median of an Auxiliary Variable under Simple Random Sampling

In this study we have proposed a modified ratio type estimator for population variance of the study variable y under simple random sampling without replacement making use of coefficient of kurtosis and median of an auxiliary variable x. The estimator’s properties have been derived up to first order of Taylor’s series expansion. The efficiency conditions derived theoretically under which the proposed estimator performs better than existing estimators. Empirical studies have been done using real populations to demonstrate the performance of the developed estimator in comparison with the existing estimators. The proposed estimator as illustrated by the empirical studies performs better than the existing estimators under some specified conditions i.e. it has the smallest Mean Squared Error and the highest Percentage Relative Efficiency. The developed estimator therefore is suitable to be applied to situations in which the variable of interest has a positive correlation with the auxiliary variable.

A new adaptive co-site broadband interference cancellation method with auxiliary channel

With the boom of the communication systems on some independent platforms(such as satellites,space stations,airplanes,and vessels),co-site interference is becoming prominent.The adaptive interference cancellation method has been adopted to solve the co-site interference problem.But the broadband interference cancellation performance of traditional Adaptive Co-site Interference Cancellation System(ACICS)with large delay mismatching and antenna sway is relatively poor.This study put forward an Adaptive Co-site Broadband Interference Cancellation System With Two Auxiliary Channels(ACBICS-2A).The system model was established,and the steady state weights and Interference Cancellation Ratio(ICR)were deduced by solving a time-varying differential equation.The relationship of ICR,system gain,modulation factor,interference signal bandwidth and delay mismatching degree was acquired through an in-depth analysis.Compared with traditional adaptive interference cancellation system,the proposed ACBICS-2A can improve broadband interference cancellation ability remarkably with large delay mismatching and antenna sway for the effect of auxiliary channel.The maximum improved ICR is more than 25 dB.Finally,the theoretical and simulation results were verified by experiments.

Combining sum-difference and auxiliary beams for adaptive monopulse in jamming

Only in the presence of sidelobe jamming （SLJ）, can the conventional adaptive monopulse technique null the jamming effectively and maintain the monopulse angle estimation accuracy simultaneously. While mainlobe jamming （MLJ） exists, the mainlobe of adaptive pattern will subject to serious distortion, which results in a failure of detecting and tracking targets by monopulse technique. Therefore, a monopulse angle estimation algorithm based on combining sum-difference beam and auxiliary beam is presented. This algorithm utilizes both high gain difference beams and high gain auxiliary beams for cancelling the mainlobe jammer and multiple sidelobe jammers （SLJs） while keeping an adap- tive monopulse ratio. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the serious invalidation of monopulse technique in MLJ and SLJs scenarios is resolved well, which improves the monopulse angle accuracy greatly. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is of simple implementation and low computational complexity.

Effect of auxiliary TIG arc on formation and microstructures of aluminum alloy/stainless steel joints made by MIG welding-brazing process

A new hybrid welding process was successfully used to join aluminum alloy and stainless steel. In the MIG welding-brazing process, the lower thermal conductivity of steel can cause dramatic change of temperature gradient on steel surface, while the auxiliary TIG arc can change this phenomenon by heating the steel side. The auxiliary TIG improved the wettability of molten metal, resulting in the molten metal spreading fully on upper surfaces, front and back surface of steel, forming a sound brazing joint; the content of Cr and Ni elements in IMCs layer was increased, which can enhance the quality of the layer; and the microstructure of IMCs layer also was improved, increasing the bonding strength with the weld seam. The average tensile strength of the joint obtained with auxiliary TIG arc（146.7 MPa） was higher than that without auxiliary TIG arc（96.7 MPa）.

Roles of HIV-1 auxiliary proteins in viral pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions

Active host-pathogen interactions take place during infection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Outcomes of these interactions determine the efficiency of viral infection and subsequent disease progression. HIV- infected cells respond to viral invasion with various defensive strategies such as innate, cellular and humoral immune antiviral mechanisms. On the other hand, the virus has also developed various offensive tactics to suppress these host cellular responses. Among many of the viral offensive strategies, HIV-1 viral auxiliary proteins (Tat, Rev, Nef, Vif, Vpr and Vpu) play important roles in the host-pathogen interaction and thus have significant impacts on the outcome of HIV infection. One of the best examples is the interaction of Vif with a host cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G. Although specific roles of other auxiliary proteins are not as well described as Vif-APOBEC3G interaction, it is the goal of this brief review to summarize some of the preliminary findings with the hope to stimulate further discussion and investiga- tion in this exhilarating area of research.

Constrained auxiliary particle filtering for bearings-only maneuvering target tracking

To track the nonlinear,non-Gaussian bearings-only maneuvering target accurately online,the constrained auxiliary particle filtering(CAPF)algorithm is presented.To restrict the samples into the feasible area,the soft measurement constraints are implemented into the update routine via the1 regularization.Meanwhile,to enhance the sampling diversity and efficiency,the target kinetic features and the latest observations are involved into the evolution.To take advantage of the past and the current measurement information simultaneously,the sub-optimal importance distribution is constructed as a Gaussian mixture consisting of the original and modified priors with the fuzzy weighted factors.As a result,the corresponding weights are more evenly distributed,and the posterior distribution of interest is approximated well with a heavier tailor.Simulation results demonstrate the validity and superiority of the CAPF algorithm in terms of efficiency and robustness.
