We study the performance of quantum annealing for systems with ground-state degeneracy by directly solving the Schrödinger equation for small systems and quantum Monte Carlo simulations for larger systems. The results indicate that naive quantum annealing using a transverse field may not be well suited to identify all degenerate ground-state configurations, although the value of the ground-stat...

A Simulated Annealing method is presented for the solution of nonlinear time series estimation problems, by maximization of the a Posteriori Likelihood function. Homogeneous temperature annealing is proposed for smoothing problems and inhomogeneous temperature annealing for filtering problems. Both methods of annealing guarantee convergence to the Maximum A Posteriori Likelihood (MAP) estimate....

In this paper, we examine the different measures of Fault Tolerance in a Distributed Simulated Annealing process. Optimization by Simulated Annealing on a distributed system is prone to various sources of failure. We analyse simulated annealing algorithm, its architecture in distributed platform and potential sources of failures. We examine the behaviour of tolerant distributed system for optim...

In this study we performed a series of ozone and vacuum annealing experiments on epitaxial La2-xSrxCuO4+δ thin films. The transition temperature after each annealing step has been measured by the mutual inductance technique. The relationship between the effective doping and the vacuum annealing time has been studied. Short-time ozone annealing at 4700C oxidizes an underdoped film all the way to...

بخش اورژانس یکی از شلوغ‌ترین بخش‌های یک بیمارستان است و بهبود عملکرد این تأثیر بسیاری در کیفیت ارائه خدمات دارد. اخیراً پژوهشگران به­‌دلیل تمرکز مهندسی تاب‌آوری مدیریت ناب بر کارایی سیستم‌ها توجه بسیار زیادی به دو دیدگاه کنار یکدیگر داشته‌اند. هدف پژوهش، رویکردی یکپارچه برای ارزیابی مبتنی شاخص‌های با ارتقای رضایت شغلی کاهش هزینه‌های درمانی واحد خصوصی است. منظور، ابتدا شناسایی مؤثر، مدل مفهومی مس...

The Zn1-xCuxO (x=6.27%) films under different annealing were prepared by the sol-gel method on grass. Using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy to study the influence of annealing on the microstructure and surface morphology of the film, the result of which shows that the annealing temperature did not change the wurtzite structure of ZnO and the film density under 400 degree an...

Within the nucleus, pre-mRNA molecules are complexed with a set of proteins to form heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes. A1, an abundant RNA binding protein present in these complexes, has been shown to bind selectively to single-stranded RNAs and destabilize base-pairing interactions. In this study.A1 is shown to promote the rate of annealing of complementary RNA strands greater ...
