Effect of shaping plate apparatus on mechanical properties of 3D printed cement-based materials: Experimental and numerical studies [PDF]
Precisely controlling the shape of the printed-layers, eliminating the curved sides and internal stress concentration, and increasing the mechanical properties are essential to guarantee the quality of 3D printed cement-based structures. This work aims at achieving the above-mentioned targets through a specially designed shaping plate apparatus.

Quantum Information in a Distributed Apparatus [PDF]
We investigate the information provided about a specified distributed apparatus of n units in the measurement of a quantum state. It is shown that, in contrast to such measurement of a classical state, which is bounded by log (n+1) bits, the information in a quantum measurement is bounded by 3.7 x n^(1/2) bits.

Androgen receptor-positive ductal adenocarcinoma of the nasolacrimal duct: A case report
Purpose: Primary ductal adenocarcinoma arising in the structures of the lacrimal apparatus is extremely rare, and the entity is considered a lacrimal counterpart of salivary duct carcinoma, of which the majority are known to express androgen receptor (AR)

The tear turnover and tear clearance tests - a review [PDF]
Introduction. The aim is to provide a summary of methods available for the assessment of tear turnover and tear clearance rates. The review defines tear clearance and tear turnover and describes their implication for ocular surface health. Additionally, it describes main types of techniques for measuring tear turnover, including fluorescein tear ...

Primary fistulectomy of congenital lacrimal fistula: A case report
A 13-month-old male patient presenting with epiphora and discharge in his left eye present since birth was assessed in our clinic. Epiphora and an orifice of fistulae next to the left nasal root were identified via physical examination.

Quantum Coherence, Coherent Information and Information Gain in Quantum Measurement [PDF]
A measurement is deemed successful, if one can maximize the information gain by the measurement apparatus. Here, we ask if quantum coherence of the system imposes a limitation on the information gain during quantum measurement. First, we argue that the information gain in a quantum measurement is nothing but the coherent information or the distinct ...
