The economic and environmental losses due to serious leakage in the urban water supply network have increased the effort to control the water leakage. However, current methods for leakage estimation are inaccurate leading to the development of ineffective leakage controls. Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the blind source separation theory (BSS) to calculate the leakage of water...

Abstract Realizing a long coherence time quantum memory is major challenge of current technology. Until now, the longest coherence-time single qubit was reported as 660 s in 171 Yb + ion-qubit through technical developments sympathetic cooling and dynamical decoupling pulses, which addressed heating-induced detection inefficiency magnetic field fluctuations. However, it not clear what prohibite...

one of the important factors influencing outdoor insulators performance is pollution phenomenon. the pollution, especially during humidity condition, reduces superficial resistance of insulator and lead to a flow of leakage currents (lc) on the insulator surface, which may result in total flashover. the lc characteristics are affected by parameters such as nature and severity of pollution. loca...

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses in plants. The aim present study was to determine effects salinity on relatively sensitive Zinnia elegans Jacq. ‘Zinnita Scarlet’ and tolerant marylandica D.M. Spooner et al. ‘Double Zahara Fire Improved’ through a comparative analysis morphological, physiological, anatomic, biochemical traits. Plants were irrigated at five levels salt concentration...

Leakage resilient cryptography designs systems to withstand partial adversary knowledge of secret state. Ideally, leakage-resilient systems withstand current and future attacks; restoring confidence in the security of implemented cryptographic systems. Understanding the relation between classes of leakage functions is an important aspect. In this work, we consider the memory leakage model, wher...

Demand-side management (DSM) is a process by which the user demand patterns are modified to meet certain desired objectives. Traditionally, DSM was utility-driven, but with an increase in integration of renewable sources and privacy-conscious consumers, it also becomes “consumer-driven” process. Promising theoretical studies have shown that privacy can be achieved shaping using energy storage s...

The function of free amino acids in protein synthesis, as a source energy and unique roles catabolism have been well studied plant development but their postharvest fruit vegetables has received little attention. This study evaluated 11 acids—arginine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic glycine, ornithine, phenylalanine, serine, tyrosine, tryptophan valine—on the senescence broccoli. Broccoli flo...
