Detect concrete cracks based on OTSU algorithm with differential image
Aiming at the detection of concrete surface cracks, based on digital image processing technology, OTSU algorithm is processed based on differential image. First, the Gaussian filter is acted on the original image to obtain the smoothed image.

Entanglement of Purification and Multiboundary Wormhole Geometries [PDF]
We posit a geometrical description of the entanglement of purification for subregions in a holographic CFT. The bulk description naturally generalizes the two-party case and leads to interesting inequalities among multi-party entanglements of ...

Association between hyperuricemia and acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with sepsis
Background Sepsis-related AKI is related to short-term mortality and poor long-term prognoses, such as chronic renal insufficiency, late development of end-stage renal disease, and long-term mortality.

Entanglement purification protocols for all graph states [PDF]
We present multiparty entanglement purification protocols that are capable of purifying arbitrary graph states directly. We develop recurrence and breeding protocols and compare our methods with strategies based on bipartite entanglement purification in ...

Long-Distance Entanglement Purification for Quantum Communication. [PDF]
High-quality long-distance entanglement is essential for both quantum communication and scalable quantum networks. Entanglement purification is to distill high-quality entanglement from low-quality entanglement in a noisy environment and it plays a key ...

Enhanced neutrophil apoptosis accompanying myeloperoxidase release during hemodialysis
Biocompatibility of hemodialysis (HD) systems have been considerably improved. However, mortality and morbidity rates of patients have remained high, raising questions regarding the biocompatibility of current systems.
