Abstract. Methyl bromide (CH3Br) is a potent ozone-depleting substance (ODS) that has both natural and anthropogenic sources. CH3Br been used mainly for preplant soil fumigation, post-harvest grain timber structural fumigation. Most non-quarantine pre-shipment (non-QPS) uses were phased out by 2005 non-Article 5 (developed) countries 2015 Article (developing) under the Montreal Protocol on Subs...

Superconducting Josephson junctions and quantum phase slip (QPS) create various hybrid circuits combined with nonsuperconducting elements. Those require a common analysis method to bridge the gap between superconducting electronics. This article presents an electromagnetic-flux-distribution model unify analyses of non-superconducting circuits. uses electric magnetic fluxes as variables definiti...

Josephson junctions (JJs) are ubiquitous superconducting devices, enabling high sensitivity magnetometers and voltage amplifiers, as well forming the basis of performance cryogenic computer quantum computers. While JJ can be degraded by quasiparticles (QPs) formed from broken Cooper pairs, this phenomenon also opens opportunities to sensitively detect electromagnetic radiation. Here we demonstr...

Rapid miniaturization of electronic devices and circuits demands profound understanding fluctuation phenomena at the nanoscale. Superconducting nanowires -- serving as important building blocks for such may seriously suffer from fluctuations which tend to destroy long-range order suppress superconductivity. In particular, quantum phase slips (QPS) proliferating low temperatures turn a quasi-one...

introduction: peripheral vascular disease (pvd) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with coronary artery disease (cad). we aimed to perform lower limb perfusion scan (llps) in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) and estimate prevalence of pvd in subgroups with normal and abnormal mpi results. we also compared quantitative indices of llps in patients with and wit...
