Optically driven silicon-based quantum gates with potential for high-temperature operation [PDF]

, 2003
We propose a new approach to constructing gates for quantum information processing, exploiting the proper-ties of impurities in silicon. Quantum information, embodied in electron spins bound to deep donors, is coupled via optically induced electronic ...

Embodied energy: Soil retaining geosystems

KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2011
Embodied energy is defined as the total energy in joules that can be attributed to bringing an item to its existing state. This paper attempts to quantify the amount of energy that is put into constructing geotechnical structures. In this study, several common retaining wall options are designed for (i) a hypothetical highway widening project based on ...

Embodied Energy in Building Construction

Jurnal Teknologi, 2014
Building construction systems that come in different forms and types need to be properly selected before being use, this may have different impact on overall embodied energy of the building construction. Hence, in order to achieve and maximize the construction contribution, the designer plays a big role in choosing the appropriate energy efficient ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.
