ASPARAGUS CLONING REVISITED

Universal asymmetric quantum cloning revisited

This paper revisits the universal asymmetric 1 → 2 quantum cloning problem. We identify the symmetry properties of this optimization problem, giving us access to the optimal quantum cloning map. Furthermore, we use the bipolar theorem, a famous method from convex analysis, to completely characterize the set of achievable single quantum clone qualities using the fidelity as our figure of merit; ...

Identification, cDNA Cloning, and Analysis of mRNAs Having Altered Expression in Tips of Harvested Asparagus Spears.

Changes in mRNA activity in tips of harvested asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.) held in light or dark for up to 48 h at 20 degrees C were investigated as an initial step in elucidating the genetic response of asparagus spears to harvest. Total RNA was isolated from 30-mm tips of spears 180 mm in length at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after spear harvest and translated in vitro, and translat...

QUICKSELECT Revisited

We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.

The Asparagus for Histological Study

Micropropagation of Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari)

Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) is a plant with immense medicinal values. It is reported to be recalcitrant to tissue culture practices. Sterile cultures were obtained when the explants were treated with (0.5%) Bavestine, Indophyl and 8HQC for 7 min and HgCl2 for 5 min.The present study on micropropagation of Asparagus racemosus through nodal explants showed better result in BAP (2 mg/l) along ...
