In this general article, we map the one-dimensional transverse field quantum Ising model of ferromagnetism to Kitaev’s p-wave superconductor, which has application in fault-tolerant topological computing. Kitaev chain is an example a new class critical phenomena—the phase transition. Mapping Pauli’s spin operators spinless fermionic creation and annihilation by inverse Jordan-Wigner transformat...

Current studies lack probabilistic evaluations on the performance of fault-crossing bridges. This paper conducts seismic fragility analyses to evaluate cable-stayed bridges with effects fault ruptures. Synthetic across-fault ground motions are generated using existing simulation methods for low-frequency pulses and high-frequency residuals. Incremental dynamic analysis is utilized generate resp...

objective: the aim of this study was to measure and compare the transverse strength and deflection of two acrylic resins. method and materials: a total of 30 samples, with dimensions of 2.5×10×65mm, were prepared with acropars and meliodent acrylic resins according to ada specification no. 12. the specimens were divided into two groups of 15 samples each. a three-point bending test was carried ...

Peer-to-peer networks offer attractive features such as decentralized computing, fault tolerance, sharing and aggregating of resources (e.g., SETI@home). A common (and limiting) assumption on peer-to-peer network is that, in order to achieve fair sharing and fault tolerance, all computers in the network should be considered equal and there should be no server nor explicit structuring in the net...

abstract the usage of heroin is associated with a variety of neurologic disorders, including acute transverse myelitis. in this study we present a 19 year old man who was suffered from insufflated heroin after several months of abstinence, and admitted to hospital emergency department, unconscious. he responded to fluid therapy and naloxone, but could not move his legs on examination. he had fl...

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

We propose a scheme to realize scalable quantum computation in a planar ion crystal confined by a Paul trap. We show that the inevitable in-plane micromotion affects the gate design via three separate effects: renormalization of the equilibrium positions, coupling to the transverse motional modes, and amplitude modulation in the addressing beam. We demonstrate that all of these effects can be t...

The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is well known for its large strike–slip faults with high slip rates and a potential seismic hazards. However, little about thrust associated hazards, even though they can produce devastating earthquakes despite their relatively low rate. Here we investigated the recent tectonic uplift pattern in SETP on regional scale by combining geomorphic analysis geod...
