Expressibility and trainability of parametrized analog quantum systems for machine learning applications

Parametrized quantum evolution is the main ingredient in variational quantum algorithms for near-term quantum devices. In digital quantum computing, it has been shown that random parametrized quantum circuits are able to express complex dis...

An introduction to Bayesian simulation-based inference for quantum machine learning with examples

Simulation is an indispensable tool in both engineering and the sciences. In simulation-based modeling, a parametric simulator is adopted as a mechanistic model of a physical system. The problem of designing algorithms that optimize the sim...

AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors Associated With Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Subpopulations in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Injury

Objectives and Aims: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key constituents of both normal arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. They have an ability to adapt to changes in the local environment by undergoing phenotypic modulation. An im...

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests. We suggest that these ...

Encyclopedia of nanotechnology

The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology provides a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary reference to the many fields relevant to the general field of nanotechnology. It aims to be a comprehensive and genuinely international reference work and wi...

Designing a Model for Improving Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Business improvement has always been one of the basic issues in the business world. Due to the growing changes in technology, pervasive competition and the changing needs of customers, companies must pay attention to the permanence and impr...

A systems-level energetic framework for conscious processing: energetic organization as a constraint on large-scale neural integration

Conscious processing is associated with coordinated interactions among distributed neural systems, yet the biological constraints that enable and sustain large-scale neural integration remain incompletely understood. Contemporary theories e...

Modeling Rare Species Distribution at the Edge: The Case for the Vulnerable Endemic Pyrenean Desman in France

The endemic Pyrenean Desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is an elusive, rare, and vulnerable species declining over its entire and narrow range (Spain, Portugal, France, and Andorra). The principal set of conservation measures in France is a 5-year...

Event-Based Moving Target Defense in Cloud Computing With VM Migration: A Performance Modeling Approach

The domain of information security is undergoing significant evolution to address the increasingly complex challenges aimed at bolstering system resilience against attacks. The Moving Target Defense (MTD) methodology, which entails altering...

International encyclopedia of public health

This is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the major issues, challenges, methods, and approaches of global public health. This encyclopedia will cover all dimensions of the field, from details of specific diseases to the organizati...

Recent advances in surface functionalization of cardiovascular stents

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading global threat to human health. The clinical application of vascular stents improved the survival rates and quality of life for patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, despite the benefit...

Uncertainties in the effects of organic aerosol coatings on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations and their estimated health effects

We used the CAM5 model to examine how different particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation approaches affect the spatial distribution of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Three approaches were evaluated: NOA (no effect of OA coati...

Coal mine methane emissions quantification based on vehicle-based monitoring

Obtaining accurate emissions of methane (CH_4), one of the most important non-carbon-dioxide greenhouse gases, is the basis for formulating and validating emission reduction policies. In terms of shortcomings from the "bottom-up" approach, ...

ltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Analysis

The R package ltm has been developed for the analysis of multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data using latent variable models, under the Item Response Theory approach. For dichotomous data the Rasch, the Two-Parameter Logistic, and Bi...

Embodied science and mixed reality: How gesture and motion capture affect physics education

Abstract A mixed design was created using text and game-like multimedia to instruct in the content of physics. The study assessed which variables predicted learning gains after a 1-h lesson on the electric field. The three manipulated varia...
