Most works on open quantum systems generally focus on the reduced physical system by tracing out the environment degrees of freedom. Here we show that the qubit distributions with the environment are essential for a thorough analysis, and demonstrate that the way that quantum correlations are distributed in a quantum register is constrained by the way in which each subsystem gets correlated wit...

We explored how character order information is encoded in isolated word processing or Chinese sentence reading in 2 experiments using a masked priming paradigm and a gaze-contingent display-change paradigm. The results showed that response latencies in the lexical decision task and reading times on the target word region were longer in the unrelated condition (the prime or the preview was unrel...

We apply a model-independent, agnostic approach to the collider phenomenology of supersymmetry, in which all mass parameters are taken as free inputs at the weak scale. We consider the gauginos, Higgsinos, and the first two generations of sleptons and squarks, and analyze all possible mass hierarchies among them (4×8!=161,280 in total) in which the lightest superpartner is neutral, leading to m...

objective: to determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, surgical management and outcome of pseudoaneurysm secondary to iatrogenic or traumatic vascular injury. m et h o d s : this was a cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery skims soura during a 4-year period. we included all the patients referring to our center with primary diagno...

a three stage production system is considered in this paper. there are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. each product is assembled with a set of several parts. at first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...

background and aim: the third stage of labour is one of the most troublesome stages of child delivery. the basic principle of the third stage management is administrating prophylactic uterotonics. however, the time of its administration varies in different hospitals. this study aimed to determine the effect of intramuscular oxytocin injection after emergence of the fetal anterior shoulder or pl...

searching efficiency (a') (attack rate) and handling time are two major components of natural enemies’ functional response and are usually used to evaluate their effectiveness. the age-specific searching efficiency of aphidoletes aphidimyza (rondani) was studied during its larval stage. the experiment was conducted in terms of age-specific functional response to the varying density (5, 1...

background liver transplantation (lt) is the only treatment option for patients with advanced liver disease. currently, liver donation to these patients, considering priorities, is based on the model for end-stage liver disease (meld). meld score is a tool for predicting the risk of mortality in patients with advanced liver disease. however, few studies have so far been conducted in iran on the...

background: in recent years, epidemiologic and laboratory studies have implied that vitamin d deficiency has a role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. it has shown that vitamin d can prevent tumor progression induced by carcinogens and inhibit the carcinogenic effects of high fat diet on breast tissue and growth of tumor cells. this study aimed to evaluate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d level and...
