Quantum illumination reveals phase-shift inducing cloaking
(Nature Publishing, 2017-08-24)
In quantum illumination entangled light is employed to enhance the detection accuracy of an object when compared with the best classical protocol. On the other hand, cloaking is a stealth technology based on covering a ...
Successive Onset of Molecular, Cellular and Tissue-Specific Responses in Midgut Gland of Littorina littorea Exposed to Sub-Lethal Cadmium Concentrations
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most harmful metals, being toxic to most animal species, including marine invertebrates. Among marine gastropods, the periwinkle (Littorina littorea) in particular can accumulate high amounts of ...
Supervised Quantum Learning without Measurements
(Nature Publishing, 2017-10-20)
We propose a quantum machine learning algorithm for efficiently solving a class of problems encoded in quantum controlled unitary operations. The central physical mechanism of the protocol is the iteration of a quantum ...
Approximate Quantum Adders With Genetic Algorithms: An IBM Quantum Experience
(De Gruyter Open, 2017-07)
It has been proven that quantum adders are
forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics. We analyze
theoretical proposals for the implementation of approximate
quantum adders and optimize them by means
of genetic algorithms, ...
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Remote Sensing through Low-Cost UAVs
(MDPI, 2017-06)
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on remote sensing has generated low cost monitoring, since the data can be acquired quickly and easily. This paper reports the experience related to agave crop analysis with ...
Identification of Key Performance Indicators in Project-Based Organisations through the Lean Approach
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
For the time being, companies and organisations are being forced to compete in utterly complex and globalised environments, facing massive natural, economic, and technological challenges on a daily basis. Addressing these ...
Decontamination of Ti Oxide Surfaces by Using Ultraviolet Light: Hg-Vapor vs. LED-Based Irradiation
(MDPI, 2020-10-22)
C-range Ultraviolet (UVC) mercury (Hg)-vapor lamps have shown the successful decontamination of hydrocarbons and antimicrobial effects from titanium surfaces. This study focused on surface chemistry modifications of titanium ...
Wnt-3a Induces Epigenetic Remodeling in Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells
(MDPI, 2020-03-07)
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from adult teeth show the expression of a very complete repertoire of stem pluripotency core factors and a high plasticity for cell reprogramming. Canonical Wnt and Notch signaling pathways ...
Influence of Process Parameters in Graphene Oxide Obtention on the Properties of Mechanically Strong Alginate Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2020-02-28)
Sodium alginate, a biopolymer extracted from brown algae, has shown great potential for many applications, mainly due to its remarkable biocompatibility and biodegradability. To broaden its fields of applications and improve ...
MAGI2 Gene Region and Celiac Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-19)
Celiac disease (CD) patients present a loss of intestinal barrier function due to structural alterations in the tight junction (TJ) network, the most apical unions between epithelial cells. The association of TJ-related ...
