poetic inspiration is one of the major topics dealt with in literary criticism. the objective of this paper is to show the similarities between human birth and composition of poetry , which as qabbani requires a lot of care to be taken so as to protect the child the against

We give a scheme for loss tolerantly building a linear optical quantum memory which itself is tolerant to qubit loss. We use the encoding recently introduced in [1] and give a method for efficiently achieving this. The entire approach resides within the “one-way” model for quantum computing [2]. Our results suggest that it is possible to build a loss tolerant quantum memory, such that if the re...

In this paper, a three-way microvalve system composed of three independent one-way valve units is presented. Each valve unit has a membrane, which is actuated by external negative air pressure. Intervals between the valve units are smaller than 780 μm, which opens up the possibility of realizing a high-density microvalve array. The small intervals were realized by providing the system with a la...

We examine the succinctness of one-way, rotating, sweeping, and two-way deterministic finite automata (1dfas, rdfas, sdfas, 2dfas). Here, a sdfa is a 2dfa whose head can change direction only on the endmarkers and a rdfa is a sdfa whose head is reset on the left end of the input every time the right endmarker is read. We introduce a list of language operators and study the corresponding closure...

Naor and Yung show that a one-bit-compressing universal one-way hash function (UOWHF) can be constructed based on a one-way permutation. This construction can be iterated to build a UOWHF which compresses by εn bits, at the cost of εn invocations of the one-way permutation. We show that this construction is not far from optimal, in the following sense: there exists an oracle relative to which t...
