We provide lower and upper bounds on the information transmission capacity of one single use of a classical-quantum channel. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the Hoe ding capacity, that we de ne similarly to the Holevo capacity, but replacing the relative entropy with the Hoe ding distance. Similarly, our upper bound is in terms of a quantity obtained by replacing the relative entropy w...

in order to comparison of weeds mechanical control for sugar beet, a rotary cultivator was designed and constructed in first year, and compared with other mechanical control in second year. five treatments, included: rotary hoe cultivator, furrower cultivator, rotary cultivator, no weeding and manual weeding were compared. experiment design was random complete blocks design (rcbd) with three re...

OBJECTIVE Removal of protons from the heart during ischemia and/or reperfusion by the cardiac Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1) leads to Na(+) entry; this causes Ca(2+) influx and is thought to contribute to ischemic and/or reperfusion damage. The extent to which Na(+) enters during ischemia as opposed to reperfusion is disputed and has important implications for the therapeutic use of NHE1 inhibitor...

Abstract Evidentialism as an account of theoretical rationality is a popular and well-defended position. However, recently, it's been argued that misleading higher-order evidence (HOE) – is, about one's or cognitive functioning poses problem for evidentialism. Roughly, the that, in certain cases HOE, it appears evidentialism entails rational to adopt belief akratic conjunction proposition form ...

Bradykinin has been linked to the development of restenosis in response to vascular injury. We therefore examined the effect of bradykinin on vascular smooth muscle cell growth and neointimal formation in organ culture. Bradykinin stimulated both RNA and DNA synthesis (by 175%) in smooth muscle cells from either porcine or human coronary arteries and increased cell number in a concentration-dep...

BACKGROUND ACE inhibitors have been shown to potentiate the effects of exogenous bradykinin by inhibition of its breakdown. Despite this, there is little evidence that inhibition of endogenous bradykinin breakdown actually contributes to the effects of ACE inhibitors, or indeed, other inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system, such as angiotensin II type I receptor (AT(1)) antagonists, and no ...

The hierarchy of effects (HOE) model is often used in planning mass-reach communication campaigns to promote health, but has rarely been empirically tested. This paper examines Canada's 30 year ParticipACTION campaign to promote physical activity (PA). A cohort from the nationally representative 1981 Canada Fitness Survey was followed up in 1988 and 2002-2004. Modelling of these data tested whe...
