We investigate the role of symmetric quantum cloning machines (QCMs) in quantifying mutual incompatibility observables. Specifically, we identify a cloning-based measure whereby set observables maybe quantified terms how well uniform ensemble their eigenstates can be cloned via QCM. show that this new $\mathcal{Q}_{c}$ is {\it faithful} since it vanishes only for commuting prove an upper bound ...

We consider the problem of determining achievable region parameters for universal $1 \to 2$ asymmetric quantum cloning. Measuring cloning performance with figure merit singlet fraction, we show that physical is a union ellipses in plane. Equivalently, characterize parameter state compatibility two possibly different isotropic states, considering, first time, negative fractions.

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a widely used technique for large-scale transcriptome analysis in mammalian systems. Recently, a modified version called LongSAGE (S. Saha, A.B. Sparks, C. Rago, V. Akmaev, C.J. Wang, B. Vogelstein, K.W. Kinzler [2002] Nat Biotechnol 20: 508-512) was reported by increasing tag length up to 21 bp. Although the procedures for these two methods are simi...

Progeria is an autosomal recessive disorder showing precocious senility. The cultured skin fibroblast from both the homozygous affected individual and the heterozygous parents can be distinguished from normals by decreased cell growth in culture. Mitotic activity, DNA synthesis, and cloning efficiency are markedly reduced.

Escherichia coli KRX is a strain offering both a high transformation efficiency and the possibility to produce the target protein to high yields in one host, avoiding additional cloning steps. Here, the draft genome sequence of E. coli KRX is presented and provides the genetic basis for additional biotechnological applications.

We address the problem of imitation learning with multi-modal demonstrations. Instead attempting to learn all modes, we argue that in many tasks it is sufficient imitate any one them. show state-of-the-art methods such as GAIL and behavior cloning, due their choice loss function, often incorrectly interpolate between modes. Our key insight minimize right divergence learner expert state-action d...
