We report on the simultaneous transport of mixed quantum degenerate gases of bosonic Rb and fermionic K in a harmonic potential. The samples are transported over a distance of 6 mm to the geometric center of a Ioffe-Pritchard type magnetic trap. This transport mechanism was implemented by modification of the QUIC trap and is free of losses and heating. It significantly extends the capabilities ...

Within areas of the Chihuahuan Desert dominated by honey mesquite bushes (Prosopis glandulosa), soil erosion causes open eroded patches and the formation of large coppice dunes. The airflow patterns around the dunes and through the open areas are correlated with sand flux and erosion. This study uses wind velocity simulations from the Quick Urban and Industrial Complex (QUIC) model in combinati...

Accidental transmission of prions during neurosurgery has been reported as a consequence of re-using contaminated surgical instruments. Several decontamination methods have been studied using the 263K-hamster prion; however, no studies have directly evaluated human prions. A newly developed in vitro amplification system, designated real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC), has allowed the...

RATIONALE Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) mainly occurs in the elderly, with the peak age of onset ranging from 55 to 75 years. The symptoms of sCJD are not unique, and laboratory tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalogram (EEG) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)14-3-3 protein have low sensitivity or specificity. Therefore, excluding treatable diseases and establi...

Congestion control is a fundamental technology to balance the traffic load and network. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Quick UDP Connection (QUIC) protocol has flexible congestion at same time possesses advantages of high efficiency, low latency, easy deployment application layer. Bottleneck bandwidth round-trip propagation (BBR) an optional algorithm adopted by QUIC. BBR can signif...

Quantum interference control ~QUIC! of current in semiconductors is a subject of current interest dealing with the manipulation of the magnitude and the direction of a photo-current. It is an example of a class of phenomena involving quantum interference between optical transitions that have been studied in atomic media. In all cases, interference between single-photon absorption ~SPA! and twop...

This article proposes a discussion on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to deployment of QUIC end-to-end from satellite-operator point-of-view. The is an opportunity for improving quality experience when exploiting satellite broadband accesses. Indeed, fast establishment secured connections reduces transmission time short files. Moreover, removing transport-layer per...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of deer, elk, and moose, is the only prion disease affecting free-ranging animals. Since the disease was first identified in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming in 1967, new epidemic foci of the disease have been identified in 20 additional states, as well as two Canadian provinces and the Republic of South Korea. Ident...
