We present a robust and fast method for the creation of conforming quad layouts on surfaces. Our algorithm is based quantization T-mesh, i.e. an assignment integer lengths to sides non-conforming rectangular partition surface. This representation has benefit being able encode infinite number layout connectivity options in finite manner, which guarantees that valid can always be found. carefully...

A number of shallow coal or hard rock mines employ pillar mining systems as a strategy for roof failure control. In certain platinum mine layouts, pillars are designed to 'crush' in stable manner they become loaded the panel back area. The correct sizing demands some knowledge strength and overall layout stress distribution. It is particularly important understand impact geometry on effective r...

To test the contribution of non-equilibrium quasiparticles to qubit relaxation, we have repeatedly measured relaxation time T1 in Al/AlOx/Al transmons with electrodes that different superconducting gaps. In one device, first layer electrode was formed by thermal evaporation nominally pure Al, while counter-electrode deposition oxygen-doped which gave a larger gap value. The long, but showed lar...

The quantum circuit layout (QCL) problem involves mapping out a such that the constraints of device are satisfied. We introduce heuristic, QXX, and its machine learning version, QXX-MLP. latter automatically infers optimal QXX parameter values laid has reduced depth. In order to speed up compilation, before laying circuits out, we use Gaussian function estimate depth compiled circuits. This als...

Significantly growing wind energy is being contemplated as one of the main avenues to reduce carbon footprints and decrease global risks associated with climate change. However, obtaining a comprehensive perspective on considering many diverse factors that impact its development growth challenging. A significant factor in evolution technological advancement most previous reviews have focused th...

In this work we present a novel approach for 3D layout recovery of indoor environments using non-central acquisition system. From single panorama, full and scaled lines can be independently recovered by geometry reasoning without additional nor scale assumptions. However, their sensitivity to noise complex geometric modeling has led these panoramas required algorithms being little investigated....

Fuel cells as clean power sources are very attractive for the maritime sector, which is committed to sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas atmospheric pollutant emissions from ships. This paper presents a technological review on fuel cell systems applications past two decades. The available fuels including hydrogen, ammonia, renewable methane methanol under context of sustainable transport...
