Abstract The future U.S. electric grid is being transformed with deep decarbonization of generation (i.e., removing or reducing reliance on fossil fuels and replacing them renewable clean energy resources), which in practice not achievable without a dramatic increase the long-duration storage (LDES) technologies. Regulators at both state federal level are well advised to take steps address curr...

A quantum communication system that is capable of long-distance, highfidelity teleportation, and long-duration quantum storage is proposed. This system uses polarization-entangled photons and trapped-atom quantum memories and is compatible with transmission over standard telecommunication fiber. An extension of this architecture permits long-distance transmission and storage of Greenberger-Horn...

Since the inception of blood banking, refinements in laboratory processes have allowed for progressively longer storage times of red blood cells. Whilst advantageous for the logistics of stock management, the clinical impact of the duration of red blood cell storage prior to transfusion remains uncertain, and a topic of growing interest.

The objective of this retrospective field study was to determine the effects of storing, for up to 62 h, heterospermic and homospermic semen in the short-term extender Beltsville thawing solution (BTS), on reproductive performance in Norwegian swine of four different breed combinations. The study was based on fertility records after single or double inseminations with semen collected at an AI s...
