Fault tolerant quantum error correction (QEC) networks are studied by a combination of numerical and approximate analytical treatments. The probability of failure of the recovery operation is calculated for a variety of CSS codes, including large block codes and concatenated codes. Recent insights into the syndrome extraction process, which render the whole process more efficient and more noise...

Medical Physics at CancerCare Manitoba has developed its own ultrasound phantom. The following table is intended as a quick reference guide when performing the quality assurance measurements. Instructions Limits Record Items Required ultrasound contrast-detail phantom degassed water or coupling gel paper towels for clean up (optional) lab stand and clamp to hold probe Physical check: 1. probe s...

For enterprises of all sizes, sustainability is becoming increasingly important. Accordingly, there has been a noticeable increase in academic literature in the field of sustainability management and related tools and approaches. While the academic and practical contributions are growing in this field, it appears that literature has overlooked certain type of enterprise, namely the microenterpr...

An integrated use of two measurement methods can detect medically diagnosable health conditions. The combination of PQC and EAV give information about the current individual conditioned healthregulation of the patient. This combination uses the position of so-called wholeness in life. The point of view of sustainability is addressed on meridians. Findings result is a functional assessment of th...

A priori, WIRCam operations under the QSO/NOP mode might not seem to be extremely different than that of MegaCam. However, the data format and observation strategy for such a near-IR system introduce some very significant differences. Not only these differences might influence the software (and hardware) development on a lower level but they also are fundamental in designing and implementing th...

One of the most promising physical properties for implementing quantum technology is light polarization. However, since light polarization is fragile, it is crucial to use quantum error correction (QEC) in order to make quantum information over optical networks feasible. This paper performs a statistical analysis of a redundant-free technique to correct errors on information sent through light ...

The subtle juncture cues in older varieties of English such as Received Pronunciation can be difficult for speakers of new English varieties to perceive. This study looks at the perception of word juncture characteristics in three varieties of English (British, Hong Kong and Singapore) amongst British, Hong Kong and Singaporean listeners in order to widen our understanding of English juncture c...
