QUANTUM LOZENGE TILING AND ENTANGLEMENT PHASE TRANSITION

Quantum lozenge tiling and entanglement phase transition

While volume violation of area law has been exhibited in several quantum spin SEMET chains, the construction of a corresponding ground state in higher dimensions, entangled in more than one direction, has been an open problem.Here we construct a 2D frustration-free Hamiltonian with maximal violation of the area law.We do so by building a quantum mo

Influence of Gall-Inducing Insects (Cynipini) on the Nutritional and Defensive Chemical Profile of Quercus rugosa

Analyzing the nutritional and defensive chemistry of Quercus rugosa provides insight into gall wasp interactions.Quercus rugosa is the most widely distributed white oak species in Mexico.It is the dominant canopy species in its geographic distribution range and has the largest number of associated gall wasp species (Cynipidae: Cynipini).Our main ai

AN69 Hollow Fiber Membrane will Reduce but Not Abolish the Risk of Transmission of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses

As the risk of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) infection is a major obstacle to the xenotransplantation of porcine tissue, we investigated whether an AN69 hollow fibre membrane, used for islets of Langerhans transplantation, could prevent the transfer of PERVs and thus reduce the risk of PERV infection.PK15 cells were used as a PERV source.A s
