Irganox 1010 stabilized PE was monitored by carbonyl build-up and DSC under oxygen. A scheme for PE stabilization by phenols was implemented and its kinetic parameters were calculated from experimental results. This model was validated from its ability to simulate kinetics curves for carbonyl build up, induction period changes with stabilizer concentration, and stabilizer depletion curve in the...

al., 2002; Gallagher and Koch, 2003). It is based on slow injection of stabilizing materials at the up-gradient edge Passive site stabilization is a new technology proposed for nondisof a site, with subsequent delivery of the stabilizer to ruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction. This technology is based on the concept of slow injecthe target locat...

The theory of stabilizer quantum error correction allows us to actively stabilize quantum states and simulate ideal quantum operations in a noisy environment. It is critical is to correctly diagnose noise from its syndrome and nullify it accordingly. However, hardware that performs quantum error correction itself is inevitably imperfect in practice. Here, we show that stabilizer codes possess a...

We show that within any quantum stabilizer code there lurks a classical binary linear code with similar error-correcting capabilities, thereby demonstrating new connections between quantum codes and classical codes. Using this result—which applies to degenerate as well as nondegenerate codes— previously established necessary conditions for classical linear codes can be easily translated into ne...

We have experienced three rare cases of hemodynamic deterioration and transient mitral regurgitation (MR) induced by a suction-type tissue stabilizer during the left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-LAD (left anterior descending) coronary artery anastomosis. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed new or worsening MR during the placement of a tissue stabilizer. In all three cases, the pos...

Biologically active N-benzoyl-4-(N-maleimido)-phenylhydrazide (BMPH) was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectral tools. It was examined as a thermal stabilizer and co-stabilizer for rigid poly (vinyl chloride) at 180 °C in air. Blending BMPH with reference samples in different ratios greatly lengthens the thermal stability value and improves the ex...

Power system stabilizers have been widely used and successfully implemented for the improvement of power system damping. However, a fixed parameter power system stabilizer tends to be sensitive to variations in generator dynamics so that, for operating conditions away from those used for design, the effectiveness of the stabilizer can be greatly impaired. With the advent of microprocessor techn...

current interests towards lowering fat content in food products and producing healthier and safer foods, have convinced ice cream manufacturers to substitute milk fat in ice cream with either carbohydrate or protein based fat replacers. in the present work, reduced-fat ice cream (5% fat) was produced using milk protein concentrate (65%) and inulin as fat replacers (0, 2 and 4%) as well as two t...

A complex projective t-design is a configuration of vectors which is “evenly distributed” on a sphere in the sense that sampling uniformly from it reproduces the moments of Haar measure up to order 2t. We show that the set of all n-qubit stabilizer states forms a complex projective 3-design in dimension 2n. Stabilizer states had previously only been known to constitute 2-designs. The main techn...
