We present several applications of quantum amplitude amplification to finding claws and collisions in ordered or unordered functions. Our algorithms generalize those of Brassard, Høyer, and Tapp, and imply an O(N3=4 logN) quantum upper bound for the element distinctness problem in the comparison complexity model. This contrasts with (N logN) classical complexity. We also prove a lower bound of ...

Mesitiinae include 203 species classified in 22 genera and four tribes. In this work we proposed a new genus. Moczariella centenaria Barbosa & Azevedo gen. et sp. nov. are described from United Arab Emirates. The main diagnostic characteristics is body wholly unfoveolate, clypeus without lateral lobes, post-occipital depression present, propodeum with discal carinae incomplete, and without post...

We present the CO isotopologue Line Atlas within Whirpool galaxy Survey (CLAWS) based on an IRAM 30-m large programme which provides a benchmark study of numerous, faint isotopologues in mm-wavelength regime across full disc M51 (NGC 5194). The survey's core goal is to use low-J lines constrain excitation and chemistry, therefrom local physical conditions gas. In this survey paper, we describe ...

Male fiddler crabs (genus Uca) have an enlarged major claw that is used during fights. In most species, 50% of males have a major claw on the left and 50% on the right. In Uca vocans vomeris, however, less than 1.4% of males are left-clawed. Fights between opponents with claws on the same or opposite side result in different physical alignment of claws, which affects fighting tactics. Left-claw...

Several algorithms have been developed in the past that attempt to resolve categorial ambiguities in natural language text without recourse to syntactic or semantic level information. An innovative method (called "CLAWS") was recently developed by those working with the Lancaster -Oslo/Bergen Corpus of British English. This algorithm uses a systematic calculation based upon the probabilities of...

Claw horn lesions (CHL) are the result of a failing functional anatomy hoof in dairy cows. The digital cushion is understood to be vital structure prevention CHL. have previously been shown lead pathological change pedal bone; however, their effects on unknown. primary aim this study was examine associations between history CHL through an animal's life and at slaughter using magnetic resonance ...
