We proposed and analyzed a scheme to generate large-size Schr\"odinger cat states based on linear operations of Fock states, squeezed vacuum conditional measurements. By conducting measurements via photon number detectors, two unbalanced small-amplitude kitten combined by beam splitter can be amplified state with the same parity. According simulation results, odd amplitudes $|\ensuremath{\beta}...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an extremely rare lung disease in animals and humans. It is characterized by the deposition of a large amount of phospholipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli. There are several possible etiologies, both congenital and acquired. Alveolar macrophages play an important role in the clearance of surfactant. This is the first report of pulmonary alveol...

The sensitivity to spatial contrast patterns of single retinal ganglion cell axons and neurons in the A-layers of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd) was measured in 4 1/2- and 6 1/2-week-old kittens and adult cats. Drifting sinusoidal grating stimuli were presented at 6-12 spatial frequencies to obtain spatial contrast sensitivity functions (SCSFs). The SCSFs were normalized for the p...
