Sequential generation of linear cluster states from a single photon emitter

Generating photonic cluster states using a single non-heralded source and a single entangling gate would optimise scalability and reduce resource overhead. Here, the authors generate up to 4-photon cluster states using a quantum dot coupled...

Establishing a pure antiferroelectric PbZrO3 phase through tensile epitaxial strain

Abstract The nature of lead zirconate, the historical antiferroelectric material, has recently been challenged. In PbZrO3 epitaxial films, thickness reduction engenders competition among antiferroelectric, ferrielectric and ferroelectric ph...

THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF PACLITAXEL LOADED ON GOLD NANOPARTICLES IN TREATMENT OF INDUCED ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

INTRODUCTION: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with high mortality rate. Conventional treatment strategies have improved but remain far from optimal. Cancer research is focused on improving cance...

A Comprehensive Mathematical Model of Electroslag Remelting with Two Series-Connected Electrodes Based on Sequential Coupling Simulation Method

A comprehensive mathematical model of electroslag remelting with two series-connected electrodes (TSCE-ESR) was constructed based on sequential coupling method. The influence of droplet effect on electroslag remelting process (ESR) was cons...

Correlation between molar concentration and properties of sprayed copper oxide thin films

Copper oxide precursor solutions containing 0.10 M, 0.15 M, 0.20 M and 0.25 M concentration of copper were deposited on a glass substrate using the spray pyrolysis method. The structural, optical and surface properties of the resulting copp...

In memory of Ihor Yukhnovskii, the founder and editor-in-chief of the journal ''Condensed Matter Physics'' (1925-2024)

On March 26, 2024, the prominent Ukrainian scholar, theoretical physicist, and founder of the Lviv school of statistical physics, professor, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Ihor Yukhnovskii, passed away. He lived ...

A First-principles analysis of Structural, Electronic, Elastic, and vacant properties of BCC, FCC and HCP tungsten at different electronic temperatures

Since tungsten (W) was considered as the most promising plasma facing materials (PFMs) in fusion reactors, there has been extensive research on the physical performance of W-PFMs. It is found that under the extreme conditions in a fusion re...

Monitoring of coastal dynamics at Subang Regency using Landsat Collection Data and Cloud Computing Based

This study aims to better understand the coastal dynamics along the 6.89 km of Subang shoreline using Landsat data and GIS methods with cloud computing-based analysis. The data is processed using remote sensing techniques, image classificat...

Submesoscale‐Permitting Physical/Biogeochemical Future Projections for the Main Hawaiian Islands

Abstract Global climate models provide useful tools to forecast large‐scale anthropogenic trends and the impacts on ocean physics and marine biology and chemistry. Due to coarse spatial resolution, they typically lack the ability to represe...

A macrozoobenthic data set of the Black Sea northwestern shelf

Abstract Benthic ecological data are crucial to study and manage ecosystems. On the one hand, abiotic and species data provide complementary information to identify habitats. On the other hand, trait data, describing taxon characteristics, ...

A single-column ocean biogeochemistry model (GOTM–TOPAZ) version 1.0

Recently, Earth system models (ESMs) have begun to consider the marine ecosystem to reduce errors in climate simulations. However, many models are unable to fully represent the ocean-biology-induced climate feedback, which is due in part to...

Toward an Environmental Education of Students at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the University of Namibe

Context: Today, quite a few environmental problems require swift responses toward adjustment, mitigation, and sustainability. Accordingly, how could university students acquire effective environmental education so they can play their social...
