    Stochastic behavior of outcome of Schur-Weyl duality measurement

    Full text link
    We focus on the measurement defined by the decomposition based on Schur-Weyl duality on nn qubits. As the first setting, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the measurement outcome when the state is given as the permutation mixture ρmix,n,l\rho_{mix,n,l} of the state 1l0nl:=1l0(nl)| 1^{l} \, 0^{n-l} \rangle := | 1 \rangle^{\otimes l} \otimes |0\rangle^{\otimes (n-l)}. In contrast, when the state is given as the Dicke state Ξn,l|\Xi_{n,l}\rangle, the measurement outcome takes one deterministic value. These two cases have completely different behaviors. As the second setting, we study the case when the state is given as the tensor product of the permutation mixture ρmix,k,l\rho_{mix,k,l} and the Dicke state Ξnk,ml| \Xi_{n-k,m-l} \rangle. We derive various types of asymptotic distribution including a kind of central limit theorem when nn goes to infinity.Comment: The second part of the revised version.

    The purpose of this study was to examine changes of the individual hardness of the flexor - pronator muscle group after pitching. The twelve normal male volunteers who had played baseball participated in this study. One hundred pitches were performed, and the individual flexor pronator muscles hardness were analyzed using ultrasound real time tissue elastgraphy (RTE) both before and after 100 pitching. The hardness of the flexor pronator muscles were not significant different between before and after pitching. However, hardness of the most hardened muscle was significantly different between before and after pitching. Therefore RTE is useful method to manage of the pitching counts in pitchers who performed athletic rehabilitation after throwing injuries

    Periostin Is a Candidate Regulator of the Host Microenvironment in Regeneration of Pulp and Dentin Complex and Periodontal Ligament in Transplantation with Stem Cell-Conditioned Medium

    Purpose. The microenvironment is required for tissues to maintain their properties in vivo. This microenvironment encompasses the types and three-dimensional arrangement of cells forming the tissues, and their interactions with neighboring cells and extracellular matrices, as represented by the stem cell niche. Tissue regeneration depends not on the original tissue source of the transplanted cells, but on the microenvironment in which they are transplanted. We have previously reported pulp regeneration in a heterotopic root graft model by transplantation of conditioned medium alone, which suggests that host-derived cells expressing receptors for migration factors in conditioned medium migrate into the root canal and cause pulp regeneration. Regenerative medicine is needed to restore the original function of complex tissues. To achieve this, it is necessary to reproduce the changes in the microenvironment of the host tissue that accompany the regenerative response. Therefore, it is important to reproduce the microenvironment in vivo for further development of tissue regeneration therapy. Periostin is also found in the epithelial–mesenchymal junction, with expression sites that differ depending on the mineralized matrix stage, and is involved in regulation of calcification. Methods. We investigate whether periostin contributes to microenvironmental changes in regenerated pulp tissue. Dental pulp stem cells were induced into dentin, and gene expression of DSPP, nestin, DMP1, Runx2, and periostin was analyzed by qPCR and protein expression by IHC. Similarly, gene expression was analyzed using qPCR and protein expression using IHC in regenerated dental pulp obtained by ectopic transplantation. Results. Since these regenerated tissues were observable on the same slice, it was possible to understand changes in the microenvironment within the tissues. Conclusions. Periostin promoted proliferation of pulp stem cells, migration in type I collagen, and calcification in regenerated pulp, which strongly suggests that periostin is a promising candidate as a factor that contributes to the microenvironment of regenerated pulp
