Quantum computing is a rapidly developing field that has the potential to revolutionize way we process data. In this article, will introduce quantum computers, their hardware and challenges associated with development. One of key concepts in qubit, which basic unit information. We discuss concept greater detail, exploring how qubits work unique properties make them so powerful. There are curren...

Relationships between indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and mucous membrane and lower respiratory sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms are explored in 41 office buildings from the US EPA BASE study. Elevated indoor CO2 concentrations may indicate inadequate ventilation per occupant and elevated indoor pollutant concentrations, leading to SBS symptoms. Two CO2 metrics were constructed: average...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as suitable sorbents for CO2 capture because of their high CO2 absorption capacity, thermal stability, negligible vapour pressure and physico-chemical tunability. However, the environmental implications of ILs are currently largely unknown because of a lack of data. The issue is further complicated by their complex chemical structures and numerous precurso...

The key to eecient parallel computing on workstations clusters is a communication subsystem that removes the operating system from the communication path and eliminates all unnecessary protocol overhead. At the same time, protection and a stable multiuser , multiprogrammed environment cannot be sacriiced. We have developed a communication subsystem, called ParaStation2, which fulllls these requ...

In many technological applications, materials are transported by fluid flow at micro/nanometer scales. Conventionally, macroscopic apparatuses, such as syringe pumps, are used to drive the flow. This work explores the possibility of utilizing motile bacteria as microscopic pumps. We used micro-fabricated structures to confine smooth-swimming bacteria in a prescribed configuration. The flagella ...

BACKGROUND Architectural methods that take into account global environmental conservation generally concentrate on mitigating the heat load of buildings. Here, we evaluate the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that can be achieved by improving heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies. RESULTS The Climate Change Research Hall (CCRH) of the National Institute for...
