We prove a version of the quantum de Finetti theorem: permutation-invariant quantum states are well approximated as a probabilistic mixture of multifold product states. The approximation is measured by distinguishability under measurements that are implementable by fully-one-way local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Our result strengthens Brandão and Harrow's de Finetti theorem w...

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is carried out using two different configurations for the exit channel of the ECAP die, i.e., relieved and choked, with angles of 0.2 °. It is found that using a die with relieved exit channel, the sample was extruded for 6 passes with no surface cracks and an average cell size of 727 nm and a fraction of high angle grain boundaries of 54 % were achieved. M...

Several reports have shown that after specific reminders are presented, consolidated memories pass from a stable state to one in which the memory is reactivated. This reactivation implies that memories are labile and susceptible to amnesic agents. This susceptibility decreases over time and leads to a re-stabilization phase usually known as reconsolidation. With respect to the biological role o...

This paper presents the study of strengthening R/C beams with large circular and square opening located at flexure zone by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates. A total of five beams were tested to failure under four point loading to investigate the structural behavior including crack patterns, failure mode, ultimate load and load deflection behaviour. Test results show that large o...

background: strengthening exercises are not favored in the rehabilitation of patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (cabg) for concerns over potential adverse effects. however, patients often present with weakened skeletal muscles post cabg due to disuse. methods: we studied the effects of aerobic and strengthening exercises on the serum c-reactive protein (crp) levels and blood pressure ...

Objectives: A functional helpful exercise that tends to correct postural unevenness and endeavours to re-establish lumbo-pelvic mechanics would appear to be beneficial for patients with postural impairment. This study evaluated the effects of right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise on improving hip biomechanics in participants with a tendency to stand on right side. Method...

Usage control is a generalization of access control that also addresses how data is handled after it is released. Controlling the future usage of data includes controlling the future distribution of data. The evolution of policies upon re-distribution must hence be defined. Intuitively, clients should only strengthen policies associated with a data item when they re-distribute it. We provide a ...
