Knill introduced a generalization of stabilizer codes, in this note called Clifford codes. It remained unclear whether or not Clifford codes can be superior to stabilizer codes. We show that Clifford codes are stabilizer codes provided that the abstract error group is given by an extraspecial p-group. Suppose that the abstract error group has an abelian index group, then we show that a Clifford...

We draw attention to an apparent puzzle in the aggregate consumption behavior of Singaporeans. In stark contrast to the rest of the world, the average propensity to consume (APC) has plummeted to just two-fifths of national income by the year 2003, leaving the Singapore economy without a dependable built-in stabilizer. This phenomenon represents a notable departure from the stable longrun equil...

Cyclic orbit codes are constant dimension subspace codes that arise as the orbit of a cyclic subgroup of the general linear group acting on subspaces in the given ambient space. With the aid of the largest subfield over which the given subspace is a vector space, the cardinality of the orbit code can be determined, and estimates for its distance can be found. This subfield is closely related to...

Power system Stabilizers are used in order to damp out the low frequency oscillations which are due to disturbances. This paper attempts to investigate the performance of Conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS), Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (FLPSS) and Artificial Neural Network based Power System Stabilizer (ANNPSS) under Prefault and Postfault conditions for different loadings. The ...

BACKGROUND Identifying the potential for drug-induced kidney injury is essential for the successful research and development of new drugs. Newer and more sensitive preclinical drug-induced kidney injury biomarkers are now qualified for use in rat toxicology studies, but biomarkers for clinical studies are still undergoing qualification. The current studies investigated biomarkers in healthy vol...

The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) appears to be a device of great interest to efficiently build the electrical grid of tomorrow. With the recent progress made by the superconducting wires manufacturers, there are needs coming from the industry to evaluate the potential of such devices. In the present thesis work, the behavior under external field and transport current of the last...

The stabilizer formalism allows the efficient description of a sizeable class of pure as well as mixed quantum states of n-qubit systems. That same formalism has important applications in the field of quantum error correcting codes, where mixed stabilizer states correspond to projectors on subspaces associated with stabilizer codes. In this paper, we derive efficient reduction procedures to obt...

Design of power system stabilizer for enhancement power system stability is proposed. The effect of the proposed PSS on the synchronizing and damping torque coefficients is proved. To study the effectiveness of the proposed linear quadratic regulator (LQR) power system stabilizer, a sample power system in a linearized model is simulated and subjected to different operating conditions. The Linea...

Convolutional stabilizer codes promise to make quantum communication more reliable with attractive online encoding and decoding algorithms. This paper introduces a new approach to convolutional stabilizer codes based on direct limit constructions. Two families of quantum convolutional codes are derived from generalized Reed-Solomon codes and from ReedMuller codes. A Singleton bound for pure con...
