Cancer bytes.

Background: It is not clear whether environmental exposure to dioxin affects the general population. The aim of this research is to evaluate sarcoma risk in relation to the environmental pollution caused by dioxin emitted by waste incinerators and industrial sources of airborne dioxin. The study population lives in a part of the Province of Venice (Italy), where a population-based cancer regist...

Nanomechanical coupling between microwave and optical photons

A variety of nanomechanical systems can now operate at the quantum limit1–4, making quantum phenomena more accessible for applications and providing new opportunities for exploring the fundamentals of quantum physics. Such mechanical quantum devices offer compelling opportunities for quantum-enhanced sensing and quantum information5–7. Furthermore, mechanical modes provide a versatile quantum b...

Microwave assisted oxidation coupling of thiols to symmetrical disulfides with tripropylammonium fluorochromate (VI) (TPAFC)

Tripropylammonium fluorochromate(VI) (TPAFC), is an efficient and new reagent, which isprepared easily and oxidizes thiols to the corresponding disulfides, quickly. The reactions areperformed cleanly and are controlled to stop at the disulfide stage, without over-oxidation andside products. Coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides, are studied in solution atroom temperature and in s...

Multilingual Language Processing From Bytes

We describe an LSTM-based model which we call Byte-to-Span (BTS) that reads text as bytes and outputs span annotations of the form [start, length, label] where start positions, lengths, and labels are separate entries in our vocabulary. Because we operate directly on unicode bytes rather than languagespecific words or characters, we can analyze text in many languages with a single model. Due to...
