Automated Microclimate Regulation in Agricultural Facilities Using the Air Curtain System
Creating and maintaining the microclimate in livestock buildings is associated with numerous engineering and technical challenges. Together with adequate feeding, the microclimate determines the health, reproductive ability, and production potential of ...

Abstract This article examines the notion of gated communities and, more generally, privately governed urban neighbourhoods. We do this by reviewing the idea that they are an innovative built‐environment genre that has spread globally from a diverse set of roots and influences. These include the mass growth of private urban government

Controlling the TiN Electrode Work Function at the Atomistic Level: A First Principles Investigation
The paper reports on a theoretical description of work function of TiN, which is one of the most used materials for the realization of electrodes and gates in CMOS devices. Indeed, although the work function is a fundamental quantity in quantum mechanics

This project associates multi-camera 3D modeling, physical simulation, and tracked head-mounted displays for a strong full-body immersion and presence in virtual worlds. Three-dimensional modeling is based on the EPHV algorithm, which provides an exact geometrical surface according to input data. The geometry enables computation of full-body collisions

Elementary gates for quantum computation [PDF]
We show that a set of gates that consists of all one-bit quantum gates (U(2)) and the two-bit exclusive-or gate (that maps Boolean values $(x,y)$ to $(x,x \oplus y)$) is universal in the sense that all unitary operations on arbitrarily many bits $n$ (U ...

The block-ZXZ synthesis of an arbitrary quantum circuit [PDF]
Given an arbitrary $2^w \times 2^w$ unitary matrix $U$, a powerful matrix decomposition can be applied, leading to four different syntheses of a $w$-qubit quantum circuit performing the unitary transformation.

Many membrane proteins sense the voltage across the membrane where they are inserted, and their function is affected by voltage changes. The voltage sensor consists of charges or dipoles that move in response to changes in the electric field, and their movement produces an electric current that has been called gating current.

Scientific rationale for developing potent RBD-based vaccines targeting COVID-19
Vaccination of the global population against COVID-19 is a great scientific, logistical, and moral challenge. Despite the rapid development and authorization of several full-length Spike (S) protein vaccines, the global demand outweighs the current ...

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