Entanglement Capacity of Nonlocal Hamiltonians : A Geometric Approach

We develop a geometric approach to quantify the capability of creating entanglement for a general physical interaction acting on two qubits. We use the entanglement measure proposed by us for $N$-qubit pure states (PRA \textbf{77}, 062334 (2008)). Our procedure reproduces the earlier results (PRL \textbf{87}, 137901 (2001)). The geometric method has the distinct advantage that it gives an experimental way to monitor the process of optimizing entanglement production.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure

On Analysis and Evaluation for Predicting Students’ Academic Performance GPA Considering an Engineering Institution (Neural Networks’ Modeling Approach)

Predicting students’ performance is one of the most important topics for learning contexts such as schools and universities, since it helps to design effective mechanisms that improve academic results. Educational Institutions face numerous challenges today in providing quality and student-centric education to Students Individual learners prefer their own strategies originated from diverse learning styles. Learning style models may include collective strategies for mental, emotional, and physiological components. On the basis of such components, this piece of research suggests a specific quantified learning style preferred by learners in engineering education. By following average learners’ achievements (marks) at specific courses closely related to the specialization, interesting analytical results for Grade Point Average (GPA) evaluation are obtained. Moreover, an ANN model with supervised learning is presented to simulate diverse learning styles performance. Accordingly, optimal guided advise is suggested in fulfillment of probabilistically best GPA of graduated engineers. Obtained simulation results are well supported by the findings of experimental case study

Effect of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in different basal media on shoot multiplication of Aquilaria hirta and detection of essential oils in the in vitro shoots

Aquilaria hirta, locally known as ‘chandan’ or ‘chandan bulu’, is used interchangeably with Aquilaria malaccensis (karas) to produce gaharu. With the decline in the A. malaccensis populations, harvesting of this precious wood has begun to extend to A. hirta. There is also an increasing interest to plant karas trees and related species. Therefore, a rapid propagation method is necessary to meet the increasing demand for planting materials as well as for conservation purposes. In this paper, we reported on the effect of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in different basal media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962) and woody plant medium (WPM) on shoot multiplications of A. hirta using nodal segments from young seedlings of A. hirta as explants and the chemical analyses of essential oils present in the in vitro shoots. The MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l BAP was the most effective for multiple shoot formation in A. hirta, producing an average of 6.1 shoots per culture, which is significantly higher than other treatments. New shoots produced attained a length of 0.4 to 1.8 cm within 25 days in both MS and WPM basal media. The highest length of new shoots was obtained in WPM containing 0.1 mg/l BAP. Analysis of the oils by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) revealed the presence of β-caryophyllene in trace amounts. Other compounds detected were tetradecanal, hexadecanoic acid, methyl linoleate, linoleic acid, isophytol and phytol acetate.Key words: Aquilaria hirta, Chandan, shoot multiplication
