Entanglement negativity in the harmonic chain out of equilibrium
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-08)
We study the entanglement in a chain of harmonic oscillators driven out of equilibrium by preparing the two sides of the system at different temperatures, and subsequently joining them together. The steady state is constructed ...
Is there a subgroup of long-term evolution among patients with advanced lung cancer?: Hints from the analysis of survival curves from cancer registry data
(Biomed Central, 2014-12-11)
Background: Recently, with the access of low toxicity biological and targeted therapies, evidence of the existence of a long-term survival subpopulation of cancer patients is appearing. We have studied an unselected ...
Nonperturbative dynamical decoupling with random control
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-08-29)
Parametric fluctuations or stochastic signals are introduced into the rectangular pulse sequence to investigate the feasibility of random dynamical decoupling. In a large parameter region, we find that the out-of-order ...
A New Type of Coincidence and Common Fixed Point Theorem with Applications
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a class of 'Ciric-Suzuki hybrid contractions involving a multivalued and two single-valued maps in a metric space are obtained. Some applications including the existence of ...
Temperature-and pH-Sensitive Nanohydrogels of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Food Packaging Applications: Modelling the Swelling-Collapse Behaviour
(Public Library Science, 2014-02-10)
Temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) nanohydrogels were synthesized by nanoemulsion polymerization in water-in-oil systems. Several cross-linking degrees and the incorporation of acrylic acid as comonomer ...
Dispersion of gamma-Alumina Nano-Sized Spherical Particles in a Calamitic Liquid Crystal. Study and Optimization of the Confinement Effects
(MDPI, 2014-03)
We report an experimental study on confined systems formed by butyloxybenzylidene octylaniline liquid crystal (4O.8) + gamma-alumina nanoparticles. The effects of the confinement in the thermal and dielectric properties ...
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for Suzuki type hybrid contractions and applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-07-22)
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a class of Suzuki hybrid contractions involving two pairs of single-valued and multivalued maps in a metric space are obtained. In addition, the existence of a common solution ...
Spatial-temporal excess mortality patterns of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic in Spain
(Biomed Central, 2014-07-05)
Background: The impact of socio-demographic factors and baseline health on the mortality burden of seasonal and pandemic influenza remains debated. Here we analyzed the spatial-temporal mortality patterns of the 1918 ...
RARRES3 suppresses breast cancer lung metastasis by regulating adhesion and differentiation
(Wiley Blackwell, 2014-07)
In estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer patients, metastatic relapse usually occurs in the lung and is responsible for the fatal outcome of the disease. Thus, a better understanding of the biology of metastasis is ...
The effect of low solubility organic acids on the hygroscopicity of sodium halide aerosols
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
In order to accurately assess the influence of fatty acids on the hygroscopic and other physicochemical properties of sea salt aerosols, hexanoic, octanoic or lauric acid together with sodium halide salts (NaCl, NaBr and ...
