(2011-08-04)Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) and Perkinsus marinus (Dermo) are protozoan parasites that are traditionally detected using time and labor intensive histological methods. Recently developed traditional PCR assays, specific ...
-
We investigate non-random quantum channels generated from the representation the- ory of orthogonal quantum groups to perform numerical computations for estimates of their minimum output entropies. In doing so, we address ...
-
The basic unit of information within quantum mechanics can be modeled through two-level systems to provide a foundational understanding of quantum information theory. These quantum systems, which can be represented by ...
-
Optimization problems are ubiquitous in but not limited to the sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics. Examples range from the fastest way USPS can route packages through a delivery network to the best way an ...
