Quantum computing, postselection, and probabilistic polynomial-time

I study the class of problems efficiently solvable by a quantum computer, given the ability to ‘postselect’ on the outcomes of measurements. I prove that this class coincides with a classical complexity class called PP, or probabilistic pol...

Logics of Statements in Context-Category Independent Basics

Based on a formalization of open formulas as statements in context, the paper presents a freshly new and abstract view of logics and specification formalisms. Generalizing concepts like sets of generators in Group Theory, underlying graph o...

Molecular Biology of the Gene

The long-awaited Fifth Edition of James D. Watson's classic text, Molecular Biology of the Gene, has been thoroughly revised and is published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Watson and Crick's paper on the structure of the DNA doub...

Nanotechnology

Human dreams and imagination often give rise to new science and technology. Nanotechnology, a 21st-century frontier, was born out of such dreams. Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 a...

S100A8/A9 increases the mobilization of pro-inflammatory Ly6Chigh monocytes to the synovium during experimental osteoarthritis

Abstract Background Monocytes are dominant cells present within the inflamed synovium during osteoarthritis (OA). In mice, two functionally distinct monocyte subsets are described: pro-inflammatory Ly6Chigh and patrolling Ly6Clow monocytes....

Reproductive Immunology

As eloquently stated by Dr Saul R. Gusberg in the foreword toReproductive Immunology, "this volume represents a milestone, for it will establish the identity of reproductive immunology as a significant area of basic immunology and as a sign...

Shocklets and Short Large Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the High Mach Foreshock of Venus

Abstract Shocklets and short large‐amplitude magnetic structures (SLAMS) are steepened magnetic fluctuations commonly found in Earth's upstream foreshock. Here we present Venus Express observations from the 26th of February 2009 establishin...
