We consider the maximum bipartite entanglement that can be distilled from a single copy of a multipartite mixed entangled state, where we focus mostly on d × d × n-dimensional tripartite mixed states. We show that this assisted entanglement, when measured in terms of the generalized concurrence (named G-concurrence) is (tightly) bounded by an entanglement monotone, which we call the G-concurren...

Abstarct  In this paper, effect of mechanical activation on microwave reactive sintering of MgO - TiO2 system was investigated. Mixtures of MgO and TiO2 were milled at different times. Mixed powders along with 10 h milled powders were chosen for microwave sintering between 1000- 1400⁰C. Results showed that increasing of temperature up to 1400̊C for mixed powders could not give rise to complete f...

Reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. Maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bVSS) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºC. Measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature ...

We introduce the fast-mixed search model, which is a combination of the fast search model and the mixed search model. We establish relations between the fast-mixed search problem and other graph search problems. We also establish relations between the fast-mixed search problem and the inducedpath cover problem. We present linear-time algorithms for computing the fast-mixed search number and opt...

We report the case of a 71-year-old Japanese woman with mixed connective tissue disease and increased levels of platelet-associated immunoglobulin G. After administration of oral prednisolone, platelet-associated immunoglobulin G levels decreased with a simultaneous increase in the number of platelets, suggesting that the thrombocytopenia observed in this patient was mediated by immune mechanis...

This work deals with the effect of combined microwave-ultrasonic pretreatment on the anaerobic biodegradability of primary, excess activated and mixed sludge. The characteristics, biodegradability and anaerobic digester performance for untreated primary, excess activated and mixed sludge were compared to combined microwave-ultrasonic pretreated primary, excess activated and mixed sludge. All sl...

Let G be a mixed graph. We discuss the relation between the second largest eigenvalue λ2(G) and the second largest degree d2(G), and present a sufficient condition for λ2(G) ≥ d2(G).
