We show that the two concepts are not related.We argue that even with an ideal single-atom-precision measurement, it is generally impossible to produce two ensembles with exactly the same density matrix; or to produce ensembles with the same density matrix, classical communication is necessary. Hence the impossibility of faster-than-light communication does not imply the indistinguishability of ensembles with the same density matrix.展开更多

In particular, considerable skills and care are required for thread knotting in laparoscopic surgery. In this paper, a method for automatic identification of a laparoscopic surgical procedure for ligation and online distinction of an abnormality, defined as any unusual manipulation, in the identified surgical procedure is proposed. Ligation is divided into several individual surgical procedures, and on the basis of the threshold criteria, each surgical procedure is identified. Next, the identified surgical procedure, thread knotting, is classified as either normal or abnormal using a self-organizing map. Finally, to reduce surgical error, an abnormality warning system which warns detection of an unusual manipulation in the surgical procedure to the operator is constructed.展开更多

It turns out that the Chinese expressions of tenses are more casual and variable,without fixed rules,while for English,more regular. The distinct ways and patterns of expressing tenses between Chinese and English give rise to more frequent errors made by students. Thus,only by a thorough and profound understanding of these distinctions can we find a better way to master the uses of tenses,which requires a reasonable comparison of the tenses between Chinese and English.展开更多
