Multi-particle and High-dimension Controlled Order Rearrangement Encryption Protocols
Based on the controlled order rearrange encryption (CORE) for quantum key
distribution using EPR pairs[Fu.G.Deng and G.L.Long Phys.Rev.A68 (2003)
042315], we propose the generalized controlled order rearrangement encryption
(GCORE) protocols of qubits and qutrits, concretely display them in the
cases using 3-qubit, 2-qutrit maximally entangled basis states. We further
indicate that our protocols will become safer with the increase of number of
particles and dimensions. Moreover, we carry out the security analysis using
quantum covariant cloning machine for the protocol using qutrits. Although the
applications of the generalized scheme need to be further studied, the GCORE
has many distinct features such as great capacity and high efficiency
A Synthesis of Methodologies and Practices for Developing Driving Cycles
AbstractTransportation related emission is the dominant contributing source of air pollutants today. Considering the negative impacts of transportation related emissions on our social and economic environment, extensive efforts have been made by researchers and practitioners attempting to quantify the emissions. Driving cycle is an important concept in emission estimation models. In order to synthesize the research efforts, a comprehensive review of existing methodologies and practices for developing driving cycles is provided followed by a summary of the review results
Analysis of RIG-I-mediated innate immune response in rats with Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome and its change following Yougui pill administration
Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome (KYDS) is closely bound up with the immune response of immunocompromised patients. The study is to investigate whether retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-mediated innate immune responseparticipates in the development of KYDS in rats and evaluate the effect of Yougui pill (YGP) on the response in KYDS rats. KYDS rats were induced by intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone at the dose of 10 mg/kg/d for 15 days. YGP at concentrations of 2.43 g/kg/d and 4.86 g/kg/d were administered intragastrically to KYDS rats for 30 days. The resultsshowed that the body weight, urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroid (17-OHCS) level, spleen size and spleen index in KYDS rats were significantly decreased compared with healthy control rats, while YGP treatment reversed them towards normal level in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, KYDS challenge not only strikingly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of RIG-I, tripartite motif containing 25 (TRIM25), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) but alsomarkedly enhanced the endogenous RIG-I polyubiquitination levels. Whereas, YGP treatment effectively reversed this tendency in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, these findings revealed that RIG-I-mediated innate immune response was closely bound up with the development of KYDS. And YGP exhibited certain anti-inflammatory effects on KYDS rats via inhibiting the RIG-I-mediated innate immune response
