We demonstrate that entangled states are able to significantly extend the functionality of HongOu-Mandel (HOM) interferometers. By generating a coherent superposition of parametric-downconversion photons and spatial entanglement in the input channel, the coincidence probability measured at the output changes from a typical HOM-type dip (photon bunching) into much richer patterns including an an...

The almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] is normally self-sterile, requiring orchard placement of pollinizer cultivars and insect pollinators. Honeybees are the primary pollinators utilized, but climate change higher frequency extreme weather events have reduced their availability to levels insufficient meet demands current anticipated acreage. incorporation self-fruitfulness may eliminate ...

to determine the specificity and host range of wilsonomyces carpophilus isolates, some stone fruit seedlings (prunus armeniaca, prunus dulcis, prunus reuteri, p. vulgaris, p. domestica, p. persica, p. avium and p. cerasus), pome fruits (malus communis, pyrus communis, crataegus azarollus and crataegus monogyna) as well as ornamental plants (rosa persica, rosa sp. and r. damascena) were selected...

Abstract Almond, Prunus dulcis (Miller) D. A. Webb, is an important tree nut crop cultivated primarily in the Mediterranean climatic regions. However, United States, specifically state of California, largest producer and exporter almond nuts world. At least 60 species insect pests attack almonds worldwide. Hemipterans can be orchards. Some hemipteran include lace bugs, plant stink leaffooted bu...

Almond (Prunus dulcis L.) is one of the most important nut crops in Iran. Most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible. However, research on S-alleles indicates that it is very efficient in cultivar selection. Selfincompatibility in almond is gametophytic and controlled by a single S-locus with multiple codominant alleles. In this study, compatibility relationships among cultivars,...
