We prove a version of the quantum de Finetti theorem: permutation-invariant quantum states are well approximated as a probabilistic mixture of multifold product states. The approximation is measured by distinguishability under measurements that are implementable by fully-one-way local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Our result strengthens Brandão and Harrow's de Finetti theorem w...

Aluminum 2024 and 7075 alloys which are widely used in aerospace and marine applications were chosen to investigate their strengthening mechanisms. Using differential thermal analysis (DIA), metallography and tension tests, the best solutionizing conditions were determined to be 500±5°C and 2 hours for 2024 and 480?±5°C and 1 hour for 7075 alloy. Aging was performed in the range of 100 to 200°C...

The mechanical properties of contemporary engineering alloys are approaching their natural limits [...]

water user cooperatives were formed due to consideration to people's empowerment and participation in water investment and management. the purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of development and strengthening of water user cooperatives in the aras river basin. the study population consisted of the management board members of the water user cooperatives in the aras basin in th...

The current study adopted a quantitative approach to investigating the mechanical properties, and their relationship to the microstructural features, of precipitation-strengthened 6061 aluminum alloy processed through accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and aging heat treatment.  To serve this purpose, the contributions of different strengthening mechanisms including grain refinement, precipitation...
