The Gottesman-Knill theorem says that a stabilizer circuit—that is, a quantum circuit consisting solely of controlled-NOT (CNOT), Hadamard, and phase gates—can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. This paper improves that theorem in several directions. First, by removing the need for Gaussian elimination, we make the simulation algorithm much faster at the cost of a factor of 2 inc...

In this study, the pH of mulberry juice was optimized for high anthocyanin content and an attractive red color. Mulberry juice pH values of 2.5, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 were evaluated. A pH of 2.5 gave an anthocyanin content of 541.39 ± 106.43 mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside per liter, and the a* value was 14 ± 1.00. The effects of stabilizers (CMC and xanthan gum) on the physical characteristics of cloud...

In this paper, we begin exploring the construction of algebraic codes from toric varieties using toric residues. Though algebraic codes have been constructed from toric varieties, they have all been evaluation codes, where one evaluates the sections of a line bundle at a collection of rational points. In the present paper, instead of evaluating sections of a line bundle at rational points, we c...

We initiate the study of quantum Locally Testable Codes (qLTCs). We provide a definition to-gether with a simplification, denoted sLTCs, for the special case of stabilizer codes, and providesome basic results using those definitions. The most crucial parameter of such codes is their sound-ness, R(δ), namely, the probability that a randomly chosen constraint is violated as a func...

OBJECTIVE To share four Canadian cities' experiences with bed bug infestations and to explore public health roles in managing them. METHODS We summarize presentations from a workshop at the 2010 Canadian Public Health Association Conference which examined the re-emergence of bed bugs in Canada and compared management approaches of municipal and public health authorities in four large Canadian...

A new G-quadruplex (GQ) stabilizer, [Pt(Dip)2](PF6)2 (Dip: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), is prepared by the microwave irradiation method. The complex can highly stabilize G-quadruplex, but has negligible interactions with duplex DNA. Aromatic anchors on the polypyridyl ligands bestow the stabilizer with a high binding preference towards parallel GQ.

Cell extracts of the JM and GA strains of Marek's disease herpesvirus and the FC 126 strain of turkey herpesvirus were lyophilized with various stabilizers. Much higher virus titers were obtained with stabilizer than without stabilizer. Titers increased even further in the case of the Marek's disease virus strains by the addition of a chelating agent, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

This article is focused on the implementation of Fuzzy Logic Controller based Power system Stabilizer to enhanced transient stability of the multi machine system. Power system is very complex as well as highly nonlinear system. At present, there are different control mechanism used to control excitation system of the generator to enhance stability of system. Power system stabilizer (PSS) instal...
