In this paper, we concentrate on the very recently proposed Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI QKD) protocol by Lo, Curty and Qi (PRL, 2012). In this protocol, a secret key is established between Alice and Bob with the help of an untrusted third-party called Eve. We study how one can suitably mount a symmetric incoherent eavesdropping strategy on MDI QKD considering th...

This paper presents a large scale dataset of vision (stereo and RGB-D), laser and proprioceptive data collected over an extended duration by a Willow Garage PR2 robot in the 10 story MIT Stata Center. As of September 2012 the dataset comprises over 2.3TB, 38 hours and 42 kilometers (the length of a marathon). The dataset is of particular interest to robotics and computer vision researchers inte...

In vitro multiple shoot regeneration of Solanum nigrum L., an Indian medicinal plant was accomplished on MS medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. Direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on MS medium containing BAP (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and KIN (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. Among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...

objective: n present study effect of various factors including sucrose, agar, peg, agno3, activated charcoal on somatic embryo induction and its subsequent regeneration was investigated using varieties dom siah and nemat. methods: 330 explant (mature embryos) of each varieties were cultured, 33/plate (100 x 15 mm), on callus induction murashige and skoog (ms) medium (murashige and skoog 1962) s...

in vitro propagation of rose has played a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation using nodal segments of rosa canina under different combinations of bap, ga3 and naa on ms and vs, medium was investigated. the results showed that the highest shoot proliferation was obtained on vs medium cont...

background & aim: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success experimental: to evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for lippia micropropagation (1- ms medium supplemented with bap (3 mgl-1) + iba (0.1 mgl-1) + activated ch...

in order to investigation of vermicompost effect on growth and yield of marigold in pot medium, an experiment was done by a randomized completely block design in three raplications. treatmnets were included control (30% v/v of soil plus 70% v/v of sand) and three levels of vermicompost (20, 40, 60 % v/v of vermicompost+30% v/v of sand and soil) that applied in three lit. pots. marigold seeds (t...
