Efficient generation of graph states for quantum computation
We present an entanglement generation scheme which allows arbitrary graph
states to be efficiently created in a linear quantum register via an auxiliary
entangling bus. The dynamics of the entangling bus is described by an effective
non-interacting fermionic system undergoing mirror-inversion in which qubits,
encoded as local fermionic modes, become entangled purely by Fermi statistics.
We discuss a possible implementation using two species of neutral atoms stored
in an optical lattice and find that the scheme is realistic in its requirements
even in the presence of noise.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, RevTex 4; v2 - Major changes and new result
Evaluation of wood basic density as an indirect measurement of the volume of wood raw material
The manufacturing process of wood agglomerate integrates distinct unit that transforms wood raw material into wood agglomerate. The yield of wood agglomerate produced is influenced by the density and the quality of the initial raw material. This work has compared two distinct methodologies aimed at defining the yield of the process through an indirect measurement at the precursor material.
Samples (logs of differentiated sizes) were collected immediately at the industry entrance and several parameters were measured. The logs basic density and the moisture content was annotated, through analysis of the corresponding dry and wet mass. Log bark percentage has estimated also at the level of dry and wet basis. These parameters were used to determine the wood volume from different provenance and species in the beginning of the industrial process.
The results indicated that wasn’t a great difference between the two different methods to determine the wood basic density and the wood volume in m3.
Principal components analysis was used to investigate the differences between different provenances and different species for the wood basic density, and we conclude there is a great variability in wood basic density for the hardwood species than the observed for the softwood and there isn’t a great variability between different provenances.
We study too the difference off wood moisture that could be occurring before the evaluation of wood basic density
Unitary transformation approach for the trapped ion dynamics
We present a way of treating the problem of the interaction of a single
trapped ion with laser beams based on successive aplications of unitary
transformations onto the Hamiltonian. This allows the diagonalization of the
Hamiltonian, by means of recursive relations, without performing the Lamb-Dicke
approximation.Comment: 8 page
Beyond Counting: New Perspectives on the Active IPv4 Address Space
In this study, we report on techniques and analyses that enable us to capture
Internet-wide activity at individual IP address-level granularity by relying on
server logs of a large commercial content delivery network (CDN) that serves
close to 3 trillion HTTP requests on a daily basis. Across the whole of 2015,
these logs recorded client activity involving 1.2 billion unique IPv4
addresses, the highest ever measured, in agreement with recent estimates.
Monthly client IPv4 address counts showed constant growth for years prior, but
since 2014, the IPv4 count has stagnated while IPv6 counts have grown. Thus, it
seems we have entered an era marked by increased complexity, one in which the
sole enumeration of active IPv4 addresses is of little use to characterize
recent growth of the Internet as a whole.
With this observation in mind, we consider new points of view in the study of
global IPv4 address activity. Our analysis shows significant churn in active
IPv4 addresses: the set of active IPv4 addresses varies by as much as 25% over
the course of a year. Second, by looking across the active addresses in a
prefix, we are able to identify and attribute activity patterns to network
restructurings, user behaviors, and, in particular, various address assignment
practices. Third, by combining spatio-temporal measures of address utilization
with measures of traffic volume, and sampling-based estimates of relative host
counts, we present novel perspectives on worldwide IPv4 address activity,
including empirical observation of under-utilization in some areas, and
complete utilization, or exhaustion, in others.Comment: in Proceedings of ACM IMC 201
Aspectos climáticos da captação de água de chuva no Estado de Pernambuco.
Captação de água de chuva tem sido uma técnica popular em muitas partes do mundo, especialmente em regiões áridas e semi-áridas (que são aproximadamente 30% da superfície da terra). A captação de água de chuva é especialmente usada em áreas semi-áridas, onde a precipitação ocorre somente durante em alguns meses e em diferentes locais, como o semi-árido do Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. O governo brasileiro está construindo 1 milão de cisternas para fornecer água de beber para 1 milhão de famílias do Semi-Árido brasileiro. Em Pernambuco serão construidas 22% do total de cisternas. A variabilidade da precipitação no Estado é decisiva para determinar a área de captação ideal para o abastecimento das cisternas nas diferentes regiões do estado. Esse estudo usou dados de precipitação anual para o estado de Pernambuco. Foi estimada a ocorrência de probabilidade de chuva usando a Distribuição Normal de Probabilidade dos quantis. Os resultados mostraram que em anos normais, nas áreas mais secas do estado, a precipitação média foi 400 mm. Este valor deve ser considerado para escolha do tamanho da cisterna e da área de captação para diferentes regiões de estado. A cisterna construída pelo governo tem capacidade para armazenar 16m³, para isso, é necessária uma área de captação de 60m² para garantir a eficiência e o abastecimento de água nas regiões mais secas de Pernambuco, com garantia em 80% dos anos
