In probabilistic cloning with two auxiliary systems, we consider and compare three different protocols for the success probabilities of cloning. We show that, in certain circumstances, it may increase the success probability to add an auxiliary system to the probabilistic cloning machine having one auxiliary system, but we always can find another cloning machine with one auxiliary system having...

background and aims: coxsackievirus b3 (cvb3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. the viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3c. the 3c protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. methods: to un...

Simple and low-cost recombinant enzyme-free seamless DNA cloning methods have recently become available. In vivo Escherichia coli cloning (iVEC) can directly transform a mixture of insert and vector DNA fragments into E. coli, which are ligated by endogenous homologous recombination activity in the cells. Seamless ligation cloning extract (SLiCE) cloning uses the endogenous recombination activi...

While function cloning can improve the precision of interprocedural analysis and thus the opportunity for optimization by changing the structure of the call graph, its successful application relies on the cloning decisions. This paper explores the use of program spectra comparisons for guiding cloning decisions. Our hypothesis is that this approach provides a good heuristic for determining whic...

The concept of observable cloning introduced by Ferraro et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 39, L219, 2006] is developed in some essential aspects. As figure of merit, we justify a relative entropy of the joint distribution at the output to the product of independent distributions at the input. It is shown that the impossibility of observable cloning can be caused by set of possible input states. ...

Voice cloning is a highly desired feature for personalized speech interfaces. Neural network based speech synthesis has been shown to generate high quality speech for a large number of speakers. In this paper, we introduce a neural voice cloning system that takes a few audio samples as input. We study two approaches: speaker adaptation and speaker encoding. Speaker adaptation is based on fine-t...

In this paper, we address a novel problem of cloning a patch of the source spherical panoramic image to the target spherical panoramic image, which we call 360◦ panorama cloning. Considering the sphere geometry constraint embedded in spherical panoramic images, we develop a coordinate-based method that directly clones in the spherical domain. Our method neither differentiates the polar regions ...

Cloning of observables, unlike standard cloning of states, aims at copying the information encoded in the statistics of a class of observables rather then on quantum states themselves. In such a process the emphasis is on the quantum operation (evolution plus measurement) necessary to retrieve the original information. We analyze, for qubit systems, the cloning of a class generated by two nonco...
