We propose a loss tolerant quantum private query (QPQ) protocol based on two non-orthogonal states and unambiguous state discrimination (USD) measurement. By analyzing a two-point attack by a third party, we find that our protocol has a stronger ability to resist external attacks than G-protocol and Y-protocol. Our protocol requires a smaller number of compressions than that in G-protocol (Gao ...

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project is a collaboration among Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The Linac, which injects beam into an accumulator ring, is comprised of both normal and superconducting rf (SRF) accelerating structures. Two room-temperature rf structures, a 402.5-MHz drift-tube linac (DTL) and an 805-MHz coupl...

The goal of this short article is to summarize how random field theory has been used to test for activations in brain mapping applications. It is intended to be a general discussion and hence it is not very specific to individual applications. Tables of most widely used random fields, examples of their applications, as well as references to distributions of some of their relevant statistics are...

The method of Deibler, Holmes, Campbell, and Gans (1959) is a quick, accurate, and reliable method for the determination of oxygen saturation. The results should be calibrated against those obtained by the Van Slyke method, and the setting, sensitivity, and reliability of the spectrophotometer should be carefully established. This is especially necessary to meet the stringent requirements for a...
