Entanglement of A Qubit‐Qutrit System: Impact of Ohmic Noise

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The dynamics of quantum correlations in a hybrid qubit–qutrit system subjected to an Ohmic noisy environment are investigated in this study. The significance of open quantum systems and the rationale behind researching decoherence effects on hybrid quantum architectures are discussed in the introduction. The system Hamiltonian, the interaction with the

Partial identification with categorical data and nonignorable missing outcomes

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonignorable missing outcomes are common in real‐world datasets and often require strong parametric assumptions to achieve identification. These assumptions can be implausible or untestable, and so we may wish to forgo them in favour of partially identified models that narrow the set of a priori possible values to an identification region.

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...
