Optimal 1->M universal quantum cloning via spin networks

We present a scheme that transform 1 qubit to M identical copies with optimal fidedelity via free dynamical evolution of spin star networks. We show that the Heisenberg XXZ coupling can fulfill the challenge. The initial state of the copying machine and the parameters of the spin Hamiltonian are discussed in detail. Furthermore we have proposed a feasible method to prepare the initial state of the copying machine.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Anisotropic elastic constants calculation of stainless steel cladded layers of pressure vessel steel plate

Cladding stainless steel layer on the inner surface of ferrite pressure vessel is a common method to improve the corrosion resistance and save the economic cost. However, the movement of heat source and temperature gradient in the process of cladded welding will lead to the anisotropy of cladded layer material. When measuring the residual stress of pressure vessel steel plate with stainless steel cladded layers (SSCL) by contour method, it is necessary to know the elastic mechanical properties of stainless steel cladded layers accurately. The assumption of transversely isotropy (TI) was employed, and the relationship between the material compliance matrix and the elastic modulus of transversely isotropic material was utilized. Based on the elastic modulus of each cladded layer and the whole steel plate from the longitudinal direction (0°) until the transverse direction (90°) measured by the experiment, the independent constants S11, S13, S33 and S44 in the compliance matrix of each cladded layer and the whole steel plate were obtained by regression analysis method. Furthermore, by using the relationship between the independent constants of the stiffness matrix of the transversely isotropic material and the single crystal material, the independent constant S12 in the compliance matrix of each stainless steel cladded layer and the whole steel plate were obtained. And then the independent constants of the stiffness matrix of each cladded layer and the whole steel plate were acquired. Hence, a method for calculating the anisotropic elastic constants of the stainless steel cladded layer and the whole steel plate was proposed. The results will provide material data support for measuring residual stress of pressure vessel steel plate with stainless steel cladded layers by contour method

The Study on In-City Capacity Affected by Pedestrian Crossing

Currently, the urban road traffic congestion is serious and the traffic accident is happening at a high frequency; thus it has not satisfied the travel needs of security and affects the quality of urban trips. In order to effectively relieve the confliction of people and motor vehicle, to make sure of the safety of pedestrians crossing the road, and to improve the capacity of urban roads, this passage focuses on studying the influence of pedestrians crossing the roads on the capacity of urban roads in three pedestrian crossing approaches including freely crossing the street, uncontrolled crossing of the pedestrian crosswalk, and controlled crossing of the pedestrian crosswalk. Firstly, it confirms the general formula of the road capacity when pedestrians are crossing the road based on three preassumptions, combined with the survey data, and then constructs the empirical mathematical model of pedestrian crossing on the capacity impact. Lastly, it takes the step of case calculation and simulation evaluation and calculates errors between them, finding that the error between the model calculation and software simulation is small. The efficiency of the model is validated and improved

Sonoporation-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress: signaling pathway analysis

Session IUS1-K3: Metrology and sonoporation: abstract no. IUS1-K3-6The Conference program & abstracts' website is located at http://www.ewh.ieee.org/conf/uffc/2013/BACKGROUND, MOTIVATION AND OBJECTIVE: Sonoporation can induce a complex range of biological consequences beyond a transient porosity change at the membrane level. In particular, at a subcellular level, the functioning of various organelles may become disrupted. This work represents the first demonstration that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (an organelle responsible for protein folding, lipid synthesis, and calcium regulation) may be actively involved in mediating post-sonoporation cellular response. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION/METHODS: We have assayed for various ER-related proteins using Western blot analysis. HL-60 cell suspensions were used …postprin
