The valley degree of freedom in the electronic band structure of silicon, graphene, and other materials is often considered to be an obstacle for quantum computing (QC) based on electron spins in quantum dots. Here we show that control over the valley state opens new possibilities for quantum information processing. Combining qubits encoded in the singlet-triplet subspace of spin and valley sta...

Introduction: Fretted terrain and fretted channels are very well developed in the northern part of Arabia Terra [1] and are the site of development of lineated valley fill (LVF) and lobate debris aprons (LDA) [2-3]. The detailed geological history and chronology of this region provide [4] a framework for the interpretation of modification processes operating on and near the dichotomy boundary. ...

Introduction: Mamers Valles is a fretted valley along the dichotomy boundary in the Deuteronilus Men-sae region of Mars (Fig. 1). Analyses of Mamers Valles from Viking images [1-2] characterized it as a fretted channel filled with textured terrain. The channel is interpreted to have formed in the Early Hesperian or earlier [3-4], however, the terrain filling the valley is recent, as young as La...

The dynamics of ozone in the San Joaquin Valley of central California are studied by systematic diagnostic runs of the three-dimensional SARMAP Air Quality Model. Air quality in the San Joaquin Valley is the result of a complex combination of local and transported emissions. Simulations show that relatively brisk winds at points of in#ow to the Valley produce a strong dependence of ozone in the...

Based on DFT + U and Berry curvature calculations, we study the electronic structures and topological properties of 3d transition metal (TM) atom (from Ti to Co) adsorbed germanene (TM-germanene). We find that valley-polarized anomalous Hall effect (VAHE) can be realized in germanene by adsorbing Cr, Mn, or Co atoms on its surface. A finite valley Hall voltage can be easily detected in their na...

This study has presented the End to End (E2E) upper bound capacity limits for high performance mesh nodes that can be deployed in rural and remote areas. The achievable capacity limits for both irregular and clustered placements of nodes have been analytically derived. Numerical results based on the data sheets of IEEE 802.11a/n standards reveal the efficacy of such designs to typical rural net...

With the opening of the long-awaited Boyne Valley Centre in Summer 1997, the time has perhaps come to reassess the relationship between heritage and tourism in Ireland. In recent years, particularly since the start of the 1990s, there has been considerable debate and controversy about heritage issues, illustrating a high degree of public interest in the field. This paper outlines the main featu...

Numerous lateralization studies have reported that word length has a stronger effect in the left visual field (LVF) than in the right visual field (RVF) for right-handed people due to hemispheric asymmetry for language processing. Alternatively, early perceptual learning theory argued that the length effects might depend on the frequency of having read words at various lengths displayed at diff...
