Quantum key distribution over 122 km of standard telecom fiber

open access: yes, 2004
We report the first demonstration of quantum key distribution over a standard telecom fiber exceeding 100 km in length. Through careful optimisation of the interferometer and single photon detector, we achieve a quantum bit error ratio of 8.9% for a ...

Optical fibers with interferometric path length stability by controlled heating for transmission of optical signals and as components in frequency standards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present a simple method to stabilize the optical path length of an optical fiber to an accuracy of about 1/100 of the laser wavelength. We study the dynamic response of the path length to modulation of an electrically conductive heater layer of the ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Accurate Prediction of a Quantitative Trait Using the Genes Controlling the Trait for Gene-Based Breeding in Cotton

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Accurate phenotype prediction of quantitative traits is paramount to enhanced plant research and breeding. Here, we report the accurate prediction of cotton fiber length, a typical quantitative trait, using 474 cotton (Gossypium ssp.) fiber length (GFL ...

A Profile of New Zealand Crossbred Wool Clip in Both Greasy and Scoured Forms in the 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 Seasons

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
New Zealand is the third-largest producer of wool in the world and accounts for approximately 9.3% of world production (approx. 140,000 tonnes greasy annually).

Mechanical Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Soils under Undrained Triaxial Loading Conditions

open access: yesGeotechnics, 2023
The design of fiber-reinforced soil structures, such as embankments and pavements, can be carried out using the results of unconsolidated, undrained triaxial compression tests conducted on specimens at their “as-compacted” water content and analyzed in ...

An All Linear Optical Quantum Memory Based on Quantum Error Correction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
When photons are sent through a fiber as part of a quantum communication protocol, the error that is most difficult to correct is photon loss. Here, we propose and analyze a two-to-four qubit encoding scheme, which can recover the loss of one qubit in ...

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Adaptor protein CIN85 potentiates the motility of osteosarcoma cells via the Akt/mTOR and MMP2‐COL3A1 axis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CIN85 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma, particularly in metastatic lesions. Its overexpression increases cell migration and Matrigel invasion, while silencing CIN85 suppresses these behaviors. Transcriptome analysis shows that CIN85 regulates MMP2, COL3A1, and Akt/mTOR signaling. Targeting these pathways reverses CIN85‐induced motility, highlighting

Experimental investigation of technological factors influencing lotus silk fiber length during the extraction–drawing process

open access: yesTạp chí Khoa học và Công nghệ
Lotus silk is a natural fiber with high economic value; however, current production remains largely manual, resulting in low productivity and limited scalability. This study experimentally investigates the length of lotus fibers drawn under the influence
