where the input parameters are specified as follows: tensorList is a 1× n cell array containing the n tensors which make up the tensor network. envList is a 1 × n array of integers. If an entry in envList is non-zero then the environment of the corresponding tensor is computed and returned in the specified output variable. For example, if the tensor list is {A,B,C,D,E} and envList is [0 2 0 0 1...

Tropical ecosystems play a key role in many aspects of Earth system dynamics currently of global concern, including carbon sequestration and biodiversity. To accurately understand complex tropical systems it is necessary to parameterise key ecological aspects, such as rates of change (RoC), species turnover, dynamism, resilience, or stability. To obtain a long-term (>50 years) perspective on th...

In tensor networks, a geometric operation of pushing bond cut surface toward minimal corresponds to entanglement distillation. Cutting bonds defines reduced transition matrix on the and associated quantum state naturally emerges from it. We justify this picture quantitatively by evaluating trace distance between maximally entangled states surfaces in multi-scale renormalization ansatz (MERA) pr...

The paper presents experimental results for the detection of related video streams (views) of multi camera system using MPEG−7 visual signature tools. This detection can be used for identification of video streams stored in video repositories which constitute the same multi camera recording set. Two signature tools have been investigated: Image Signature descriptor and Video Signature descripto...

Mercuric reductase, MerA, is a key enzyme in bacterial mercury resistance. This homodimeric enzyme captures and reduces toxic Hg to Hg, which is relatively unreactive and can exit the cell passively. Prior to reduction, the Hg is transferred from a pair of cysteines (C558′ and C559′ using Tn501 numbering) at the C-terminus of one monomer to another pair of cysteines (C136 and C141) in the catal...

A Salmonella enterica serovar Corvallis strain was isolated from a wild bird in Germany. This strain carried the IncA/C2 pRH-1238 plasmid. Complete sequencing of the plasmid was performed, identifying the blaNDM-1, blaCMY-16, fosA3, sul1, sul2, strA, strB, aac(6')-Ib, aadA5, aphA6, tetA(A), mphA, floR, dfrA7, and merA genes, which confer clinically relevant resistance to most of the antimicrobi...
