Intrinsic magnetic van der Waals (vdW) materials have attracted much attention, especially ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{GeTe}}_{2}$ (FGT), which exhibits highly tunable properties. However, despite vast efforts, there are still several challenging issues to be resolved. Here, using a first-principles linear-response approach, we carry out comprehensive investigation of both bulk and monolayer FGT...

The study of many vision problems is reduced to the estimation of a probability density function from observations. Kernel density estimation techniques are quite general and powerful methods for this problem, but have a signi...cant disadvantage in that they are computationally intensive. In this paper we explore the use of kernel density estimation with the fast gauss transform (FGT) for prob...

Integer convolution can be effected, as is well known, via certain number-theoretical transforms. One particular transform, which we call a discrete Galois transform (DGT), can be used efficiently for either cyclic or negacyclic integer convolution. The DGT has the feature that, if an appropriate prime p for the field GF(p) be specified, the allowed power-of-two signal lengths can be quite larg...

We prove that there exists a class of crystalline insulators, which we call "fragile Mott insulators," which are not adiabatically connected to any sort of band insulator provided time-reversal and certain point-group symmetries are respected, but which are otherwise unspectacular in that they exhibit no topological order nor any form of fractionalized quasiparticles. Different fragile Mott ins...

Women face unique pathologies and challenges related to the female genital tract (FGT), including vaginal infections and gynecologic cancers. Vaginal infections faced by women include bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VC), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Curcumin, a component of the dietary spice turmeric, has immense biological properties, including antioxidant, a...

While the prevalence of Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection has stabilized globally, it continues to be the leading cause of death among women of reproductive age. The majority of new infections are transmitted heterosexually, and women have consistently been found to be more susceptible to HIV-1 infection during heterosexual intercourse compared to men. This emphasizes the need fo...

The floating gate technique (FGT) is a very sensitive method to measure very low level leakage currents in MOS capacitors. This indirect technique requires the precise knowledge of the capacitance of the structure under test. We have studied the impact of the capacitance model (classic or quantum) and of polysilicon gate depletion effect. We have shown that for 7.2 nm thin EEPROM tunnel oxides,...

Universal quantum computation can be achieved by simply performing single-qubit measurements on a highly entangled resource state, such as cluster states. The family of Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki states has recently been intensively explored and shown to provide restricted computation. Here, we show that the two-dimensional Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki state on a honeycomb lattice is a universa...
