Quantumness in decoherent quantum walk using measurement-induced disturbance
The classicalization of a decoherent discrete-time quantum walk on a line or
an n-cycle can be demonstrated in various ways that do not necessarily provide
a geometry-independent description. For example, the position probability
distribution becomes increasingly Gaussian, with a concomitant fall in the
standard deviation, in the former case, but not in the latter. As another
example, each step of the quantum walk on a line may be subjected to an
arbitrary phase gate, without affecting the position probability distribution,
no matter whether the walk is noiseless or noisy. This symmetry, which is
absent in the case of noiseless cyclic walk, but is restored in the presence of
sufficient noise, serves as an indicator of classicalization, but only in the
cyclic case. Here we show that the degree of quantum correlations between the
coin and position degrees of freedom, quantified by a measure based on the
disturbance induced by local measurements (Luo, Phys. Rev. A 77, 022301
(2008)), provides a suitable measure of classicalization across both type of
walks. Applying this measure to compare the two walks, we find that cyclic
quantum walks tend to classicalize faster than quantum walks on a line because
of more efficient phase randomization due to the self-interference of the two
counter-rotating waves. We model noise as acting on the coin, and given by the
squeezed generalized amplitude damping (SGAD) channel, which generalizes the
generalized amplitude damping channel.Comment: 8 pages with 8 figures, Published versio
Noncommutativity Effects in FRW Scalar Field Cosmology
We study effects of noncommutativity on the phase space generated by a
non-minimal scalar field which is conformally coupled to the background
curvature in an isotropic and homogeneous FRW cosmology. These effects are
considered in two cases, when the potential of scalar field has zero and
nonzero constant values. The investigation is carried out by means of a
comparative detailed analysis of mathematical features of the evolution of
universe and the most probable universe wave functions in classically
commutative and noncommutative frames and quantum counterparts. The influence
of noncommutativity is explored by the two noncommutative parameters of space
and momentum sectors with a relative focus on the role of the noncommutative
parameter of momentum sector. The solutions are presented with some of their
numerical diagrams, in the commutative and noncommutative scenarios, and their
properties are compared. We find that impose of noncommutativity in the
momentum sector causes more ability in tuning time solutions of variables in
classical level, and has more probable states of universe in quantum level. We
also demonstrate that special solutions in classical and allowed wave functions
in quantum models impose bounds on the values of noncommutative parameters.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
The research of antibacterial properties of decamethoxin, decasan, horosten
The study of Staphylococcus resistance to the antibacterial drugs Decamethoxin, Decasan, Horosten remains an important medical problem.
The aim of this study was to investigate the antistaphylococcal properties of Decamethoxin, Decasan, Horosten. It has been proven that qaterinary ammonium antiseptic drugs (Decamethoxin, Decasan, Horosten) have high antistaphylococcal properties. The bactericidal activity of Decamethoxin has been shown to be stable under adverse pH conditions of different microbial loading. Different concentrations of Decamethoxine have been shown to cause the formation of resistant variants of Staphylococcus, which lose the ability to form pigments and enzymes
Endoparasitoses of the Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto) on the northern Black Sea coast of Ukraine
One of the main tasks of ecological parasitology at the present stage is to determine patterns of spread of invasive diseases of poultry in the environment through a thorough epidemiological examination, as well as to determine the main directions and factors of spread of parasites in Ukraine. Some pigeon health problems can affect their populations, but parasitic infections play an important role. Our research found that 83.3% of Eurasian collared doves examined (Streptopelia decaocto) were affected by endoparasites. The commonest helminths were Raillietina spp. with the average invasion intensity of 4.9 ± 1.3 specimens/ind., Baruscapillaria spp. and Ascaridia columbae with an invasion intensity of 4.6 ± 1.5 and 3.7 ± 2.1 specimens/ind., respectively. The commonest cestodes were Raillietina spp. with the extent of invasion of 52.2% and Davainea proglottina – 6.7%. The Amoebotaenia cuneata cestodes were recorded in 3 (3.3%) doves, and Echinolepis carioca – only in 2 (2.2%) doves. Six doves (6.7%) were infected with the nematode Ascaridia columbae and 5 (5.6%) – Baruscapillaria spp. Eimerian oocysts were found in 9 (10%) collared doves, and Trichomonas gallinae was recorded in 15 (16.7%) birds. According to the results of helminthological autopsy and identification of the isolated pathogens, 8 varieties of mixinvasions were identified. In association with the Rayetins, there were the protozoa Eimeria spp. and Trichomonas gallinae and the nematode Ascaridia columbae. Two-component invasions were registered in 78.6% of doves, three-component infestations in 14.3% and four-component infestations in 7.1% of birds. Mixed infection with Raillietina spp. + Ascaridia columbae was found in the small intestine of Streptopelia decaocto, which was also pathomorphologically observed to have catarrhal-hemorrhagic enteritis, which was accompanied by the formation of a large number of spotted hemorrhages on the mucous membrane, and in the places of attachment of cestodes - necrotic-caseous areas. Temperature and other weather conditions such as humidity, precipitation, etc. of the northern Black Sea coast affect the population size of intermediate host cestodes. Continuous monitoring of invasive diseases of pigeons of different species will help to take the necessary preventive measures against endoparasitoses of birds
