owes, D.G., Boyes-Varley, J.G., Lownie, J.F., The Zygomatic Implant Protocol in the treatment of the severely resorbed maxilla. SADJ 2003; 58:3; 106-114. The zygomaticus dental implant, designed by Nobel BioCare, was developed primarily for the treatment of the severely resorbed maxilla. Branemark has reported an overall success rate of 97.6% with the placement of over 200 zygomatic implants during the period 1989 to 2001.. There are well-defined characteristics within the patients resorbed skeletal frame which guide the surgical placement of the zygomatic implant, thus determining whether the surgeon should use an implant with a 45° or 55° angulated head.. This allows implant-supported restoration of the resorbed maxilla with a fixed cross arch prosthesis in the maxilla without a bone graft to the posterior maxilla.. The use of a modified head angulation of 55°, with implant placement as close to the crest of the edentulous ridge as possible, allows restorative clinicians to achieve an ...

TU Dresden, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Zellescher Weg 17, 01069 Dresden. We use a coarse-grained polymer model to study the crystallization and melting behavior of long polymer chains in the dense state under various conditions. Our primary goal was to investigate the impact of the entanglement length on the properties of the lamellar crystal, in particular on the thickness selection, using algorithms to calculate the primitive path of the chains. In situ analysis of the local entanglement length prior to crystallization and the stem length and crystallinity at the same location reveals a direct correlation between the entanglement length and crystallization properties in the nucleation-controlled regime [1]. We have investigated various scenarios to change the apparent entanglement length in the system such as rapid cooling and cold-crystallization protocols, dilution of the melt by short chains, and the influence of solid substrates [2-4]. All studies confirm the correlation between ...

Abstract: We investigate the entanglement and the R\enyi entropies of two electronic leads connected by a quantum point contact. For non-interacting electrons, the entropies can be related to the cumulants of the full counting statistics of transferred charge which in principle are measurable. We consider the entanglement entropy generated by operating the quantum point contact as a quantum switch which is opened and closed in a periodic manner. Using a numerically exact approach we analyze the conditions under which a logarithmic growth of the entanglement entropy predicted by conformal field theory should be observable in an electronic conductor. In addition, we consider clean single-particle excitations on top of the Fermi sea (levitons) generated by applying designed pulses to the leads. We identify a Hong-Ou-Mandel-like suppression of the entanglement entropy by interfering two levitons on a quantum point contact tuned to half transmission ...

But is it crystal clear that entanglement does not somehow permit FTL communication? My thinking is as follows:The speed of light limit on signaling times is predicted by a classical physics theory, i.e., relativity. But the apparent instantaneity (,10,000xc according to a recent experiment) of effects between entangled particles is a quantum mechanical phenomenon. At this point, the two theories are of course incompatible and thus incomplete, since no testable unified theory has yet been developed. But when experiments examined Bells inequality, and thus whether (classical) locality/separability or QM entanglement is correct, QM won out. This type of result implies to me that the current QM theory may represent a significantly more basic description of the universe than does the current relativity theory. If so, perhaps the final unified theory will in fact permit FTL signaling, utilizing some aspect of entanglement not yet envisaged ...

Abstract: We study the entanglement entropy and particle number cumulants for a system of disordered noninteracting fermions in $d$ dimensions. We show, both analytically and numerically, that for a weak disorder the entanglement entropy and the second cumulant (particle number variance) are proportional to each other with a universal coefficient. The corresponding expressions are analogous to those in the clean case but with a logarithmic factor regularized by the mean free path rather than by the system size. We also determine the scaling of higher cumulants by analytical (weak disorder) and numerical means. Finally, we predict that the particle number variance and the entanglement entropy are nonanalytic functions of disorder at the Anderson transition ...

The basic concept is to create entanglement between two atoms, which are separated in space, with the help of photons, and to transfer this state onto succeeding atoms (stationary quantum systems respectively). Hence, two rubidium atoms, each captured inside an optical dipole trap, are stimulated by light pulses from a control laser to emit a photon. In this process the quantum state of the atom is entangled with the polarization state of the photon. Travelling through separate glass fibres the two photons reach a beam splitter where they are brought to interference. The simultaneous detection of two photons at different output ports of the beam splitter gives notice of successful entanglement. In absence of a signal the whole procedure is repeated. We have to try for about a million times, Professor Weinfurter explains the experimental difficulties which are mainly due to the loss of photons during their coupling to the glass fibre. The confirmation of entanglement makes it easier to connect ...

We investigate the Fano resonance of the scattering spectra in a system consisting of a metal nanowire coupled to two colloidal quantum dots. By varying the coupling strengths and the energy spacings of the quantum dot qubits, we find that both the line shapes and the presence of the Fano resonance can be controlled. Furthermore, the degree of two-qubit entanglement can vary from unity to zero when the Fano resonance occurs. This indicates that there exists correlations between the two-qubit entanglement and the Fano resonance.. © 2012 Optical Society of America. Full Article , PDF Article ...

The bad news is that her umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck. Im trying not to worry, but it really bothers me. Allen was beside himself after finding out about it, I know he feels so helpless. I suppose that its because we now know there is an actual reason why we could potentially lose her. Luckily, Im getting the Non Stress Tests twice a week and those are able to pick up on any heart decelerations she may have due to the nuchal cord. I also have to be very diligent and aware of her movements and doing kick counts. The Dr said that if the tests pick up on her being in distress, theyll go ahead and take her out. I feel like this cord issue could be a game changer as far as delivery and whether I may end up with a c section and when. Hopefully, because I have a high amount of fluid, shell be able to escape from the cord. I know it happens to so many babies and everything turns out fine, so I keep trying to tell myself that. But we arent a normal situation with normal luck when it ...

Babys head is getting quite dark. Im frustrated by the lack of options I have with her in lithotomy, so I insert my hand along the side of babys head, and ran it around quickly, sliding my hand into the curve of her sacrum, feeling that carefully preserved perineum give as I did so but finding babys posterior shoulder, then reaching past it into babys armpit then easing it and babys arm up and out.

Entanglement is a key resource in many quantum information schemes and in the last years the research on multi-qubit entanglement has drawn lots of attention. In this thesis the experimental generation and characterisation of multi-qubit entanglement is presented. Specifically we have prepared entangled states of up to six qubits. The qubits were implemented in the polarisation degree of freedom of single photons. We emphasise that one type of states that we produce are rotationally invariant states, remaining unchanged under simultaneous identical unitary transformations of all their individual constituents. Such states can be applied to e.g. decoherence-free encoding, quantum communication without sharing a common reference frame, quantum telecloning, secret sharing and remote state preparation schemes. They also have properties which are interesting in studies of foundations of quantum mechanics.. In the experimental implementation we use a single source of entangled photon pairs, based on ...

Correlated-photon imaging, popularly known as ghost imaging, is a technique whereby an image is formed from light that has never interacted with the object. In ghost imaging experiments two correlated light fields are produced. One of these fields illuminates the object, and the other field is measured by a spatially resolving detector. In the quantum regime these correlated light fields entail entangled photons produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. To date, all correlated-photon ghost-imaging experiments have scanned a single-pixel detector through the field of view to obtain the spatial information. However, scanning leads to a poor sampling efficiency, which becomes worse as the number of pixels N in the image is increased. In this work we overcome such limitations by using a time-gated camera to record the single-photon events across the full scene. We produce high-contrast images in either the image plane or far-field of the down-conversion source, taking advantage of the ...

The medication prednisone 20mg is a sort of steroid medications devoured by patients having unfavorably susceptible issues, or whatever other medicinal condition that trigger irritations. Characterized under corticosteroid class of solutions, one of the impacts of prednisone 20mg is to briefly closed down the resistant framework while keeping certain chemicals from being discharged to dodge irritations.

Traditionally we have included everything in the SDK needed to build the SDK. This implies including EGit/JGit in the Eclipse SDK. However this introduces a cyclic build dependency which always causes problems and introduces end-game risk. We need to reconsider this policy of including everything we need. Using p2 having multiple root features installed and updating them on an ongoing basis is no longer painful. The advantage of putting everything into a single build is perhaps outweighed by the pain of build-time dependency entanglement. Recommendation: Remove all VCM support from the Eclipse SDK and users install what they need separately. Need to discuss this at the PMC call and architecture meeting to find consensus ...

Abstract: We compute the entanglement between separated blocks in certain spin models showing that at criticality it is invariant with respect to simultaneous scale transformations of the separation and the length of the blocks. This entanglement, as a function of the ratio of the separation to the length, can be written as a product of a power law and an exponential decay which interpolates between the entanglement of individual spins and blocks of spins. It captures features of correlation functions at criticality as well as the monogamous nature of entanglement. We exemplify invariant features of this entanglement to microscopic changes within the same universality class. As a corollary, this study estimates the entanglement between separated regions of those quantum fields to which the considered spin models map at criticality ...

High quality entangled photon sources are a key requirement for many promising quantum optical technologies. However, the production of multi-photon entangled states with good fidelity is challenging. Current sources of multi-photon entanglement require the use of post-selection, which limits their usefulness for some applications. It has been an open challenge to create a source capable of directly producing three-photon entanglement. An important step in this direction was achieved with the demonstration of photon triplets produced by a new process called cascaded downconversion, but these previous measurements were not sufficient to show whether these photons were in an entangled state and only had detection rates of five triplets per hour. In this thesis, we show the first demonstration of a direct source of three-photon entanglement. Our source is based on cascaded downconversion, and we verify that it produces genuine tripartite entanglement in two degrees of freedom: energy-time and ...

Although the whales see their ocean world in black-and-white, it makes sense that they can differentiate orange from other colors since the clouds of zooplankton upon which they feed are orange in color, said Michael Moore, director of the marine mammal center at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. The research was long overdue, Moore said, because fishing gear entanglements are common. More than 80 percent of right whales show evidence of having been entangled in some type of fishing gear and the whales acquire a new entanglement scar once every three years on average, he said. The problem of entanglement of large whales, right whales, in fixed fishing gear is huge. It doesnt seem that way to an individual fisherman. From the whales perspective its a daily occurrence, he said ...

Superposition and entanglement are hallmarks of quantum mechanics, and are usually demonstrated for properties such as electron spin and photon polarization. Now with the demonstration of entanglement between distinct mechanical oscillators - familiar at a larger scale as springs or pendula - these esoteric phenomena take a tentative step nearer the world of our everyday existence. Jost et al. demonstrate entanglement between separated mechanical oscillators, consisting of the vibrational states of two pairs of atomic ions held in different locations. Such experiments may open the way to the generation of entangled states of larger-scale mechanical oscillators and the scaling-up of quantum information processing based on trapped ions. Superposition and entanglement are hallmarks of quantum mechanics. One system ubiquitous to nature where entanglement has not previously been shown is distinct mechanical oscillators, such as springs or pendula. Here, deterministic entanglement of separated mechanical

Entanglement is sometimes regarded as the quintessential measure of the quantum nature of a system and its significance for the understanding of coupled electronic and vibrational motions in molecules has been conjectured.

We optically generated an electronic state in a single InAs /GaAs self-assembled quantum dot that is a precursor to the deterministic entanglement of the spin of the electron with an emitted photon in the proposal of W. Yao, R.-B. Liu, and L. J. Sham [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 030504 (2005).]. A superposition state is prepared by optical pumping to a pure state followed by an initial pulse. By modulating the subsequent pulse arrival times and precisely controlling them using interferometric measurement of path length differences, we are able to implement a coherent control technique to selectively drive exactly one of the two components of the superposition to the ground state. This optical transition contingent on spin was driven with the same broadband pulses that created the superposition through the use of a two pulse coherent control sequence. A final pulse affords measurement of the coherence of this preentangled state.

Violations of a Bell inequality are reported for an experiment where one of two entangled qubits is stored in a collective atomic memory for a user-defined time delay. The atomic qubit is found to preserve the violation of a Bell inequality for storage times up to 21 µs, 700 times longer than the duration of the excitation pulse that creates the entanglement. To address the question of the security of entanglement-based cryptography implemented with this system, an investigation of the Bell violation as a function of the cross correlation between the generated nonclassical fields is reported, with saturation of the violation close to the maximum value allowed by quantum mechanics. ...

There have certainly been people who have tried to draw this kind of conclusion, but I think they are mistaken. Entanglement is a wholly physical process. I called my book The God Effect because it has been suggested that entanglement is the working mechanism of the Higgs boson, a very special particle that gives everything its mass, and has been called the God Particle, because its so fundamental. But thats just a label.Its also true that Nobel Prize winning physicist Brian Josephson has suggested that entanglement could explain telepathy (much to the irritation of paranormal debunker James Randi), but Josephson was saying if telepathy exists, then heres a physical mechanism that could explain it - he wasnt indulging in mystical navel-gazing.. What entanglement (and quantum theory in general) does do is remind us is that the real world is much stranger than we imagine. Thats because the way things are in the world of the very small is totally different to large scale objects like desks ...

School leaders are faced with an unprecedented growth in school data accompanied by expectations that they use this data to improve their institutions. Current technologies enable complex processes of unifying and analysing data in personalised and accessible formats. This study investigates a tool developed by the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training called the Point of View analysis (PoV). The PoV combines outcome-based data on achievement, data from staff surveys about current practices, and the staffs reflections. A central tenet in Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is that material tools do not just regulate the activities of humans, but have their own agency and form relationships with their human counterparts. This analysis positions the PoV as an actor that may transform, distort, or modify meaning or elements. A content analysis of the PoV instrument is conducted, and interviews with three school principals who have used the tool are analysed. An ANT-inspired analytical approach ...

Einsteins spooky action at a distance measured. As you may have heard before, there is such thing as a universal speed limit - a speed that, given our current theory of how the universe came to be and continues to exist, cannot be exceeded under any circumstances. The other name for this speed limit is the speed of light in a vacuum, which is 299,792,458 meters -or 186,000 miles - per second. In theory, according special relativity, this is the maximum speed that matter, energy, and information can travel. This is why scientists are so perturbed by quantum entanglement, which seems to allow two particles to communicate instantly, over an infinite distance. This year, some Chinese physicists finally measured the speed at which entangled particles communicate (or spooky action at a distance as Einstein called it), and found it to be at least four orders of magnitude faster than light. Now we just need to find a way of actually transferring information via quantum entanglement, so that we ...

Every so often, a letter arrives in a columnists mailbag that throws a hand grenade right into the middle of a long-held view…. The letter came from a Registered General Nurse named Kay who works on a gynecological ward that regularly deals with late abortions. She apologized for the unpleasant and upsetting aspects of her letter but felt her points needed to be said. I agree, and felt it also warranted a wider audience. Apparently, at 20 weeks, tablets can be given to kill the fetus prior to expulsion. But at 24 weeks it is sufficiently strong to survive the treatment and many are born with signs of life. It is all too easy for people to picture a clump of cells or mush. People dont want to picture perfectly-formed miniature babies and I dont blame them. I was once the same.

The 1st Battalion of the Kusunose Unit, aboard the transports as the 1st Squad, entered the anchorage at 10.20 pm charged with the task of occupying the Praed Point battery and Lakunai airfield. The Praed Point battery was equipped with ten artillery guns. The Japanese therefore planned to move the entire convoy back a further 5 kilometres from the shore if Praed Point was not occupied by 4 am owing to the danger of the battery attacking the transport convoy. The commander of the 2nd Company, while heading for Praed Point onboard the transports, was told: If you cannot occupy the battery by 4 am, then you must cut open your bowels and die![38] The 2nd Company advanced at 1.20 am at the head of the main strength of the 1st Battalion, and reached the landing point 1,500 meters to the west of Praed Point as planned at 2.10 am. There were some wire entanglements in place, but no Australian troops were present. The 2nd Company advanced along the coast to the east and found two destroyed 16-inch ...

Entanglement and knots are naturally occurring, where, in the microscopic world, knots in DNA and homopolymers are well characterized. The most complex knots are observed in proteins which are harder to investigate, as proteins are heteropolymers composed of a combination of 20 different amino acids with different individual biophysical properties. As new-knotted topologies and new proteins containing knots continue to be discovered and characterized, the investigation of knots in proteins has gained intense interest. Thus far, the principle focus has been on the evolutionary origin of tying a knot, with questions of how a protein chain `self-ties into a knot, what the mechanism(s) are that contribute to threading, and the biological relevance and functional implication of a knotted topology in vivo gaining the most insight. Efforts to study the fully untied and unfolded chain indicate that the knot is highly stable, remaining intact in the unfolded state orders of magnitude longer than first ...

最近有線新聞節目《新聞刺針》對近年興起嘅動物傳心做了深入調查，訪問咗5位傳心師同親身上堂聆聽工X會所謂有認證，讀完有證書嘅傳心課程。結果最後動物傳心被踢爆只係騙局，被訪嘅5位傳心師雖然聲稱睇過動物嘅相後就可以同動物隔空對話，但佢地睇完記者提供「布歐」嘅玉照後唔單止講嘅故仔自相矛盾，甚至連「布歐」只係一隻玩具龜呢個事實都睇唔出 [sosad]詳細報導請睇番[1] 報導出咗後喺社會同「傳心業界」帶嚟好大迴響。除左生物、物理學界有人出嚟同所謂有科學根據嘅「動物傳心業界」劃清界線，釐清乜嘢先係量子糾纏(quantum entanglement)[2]，亦有唔少人從科學、哲學、人性等唔同方面探討呢個現象同其他偽科學出現背後嘅成因，研究點解呢啲睇落咁匪夷所思嘅偽科學嘢會有咁多人信[3]。小弟今日都想講吓呢個話題

I for one appreciate the feedback regarding the drug sniffing dog. I was fully aware of the dont give consent to search guidance but I mistakingly thought that extended to the dogs so that woukd have been troubling if we had gone down that path...

The last thing someone needs after enduring these legal entanglements is your piety, whether you believe we deserve it or not... And for the record I believe 100% that the officer had no actual cause to pull me over, I wasnt speeding and I will be at the Wadsworth Justice Center in October vigorously fighting with photographic evidence that my license plate conformed to the Nevada Code (the statute is extremely vague and you could totally see my license plate)... And furthermore Ive been using that bike rack for 16 years without a problem and I only had one bike on it AND I had even ...

Of course a disease or illness can be both, psychosomatic and biomedical. In the case, say, where an illness might be psychosomatic in origin, there need be no reason to rule out biomedical treatment (unless of course were devoted to the genetic fallacy), as we still know so little about the actual origins or first causes, as it were, of many illnesses to proclaim that biomedical pathways dont have psychosomatic beginnings or psychosomatic entanglement (this need not, on the other hand, implicate someone in the claim that unexplained causes of symptoms are necessarily psychosomatic). Consider, for example, the discovery that the biological responses to stress-inducing situations were ameliorated by the strength of the social support provided by other people considered as being important by the individual (a psycho-social variable of considerable significance). And I suspect even biomedical prescriptions and therapies often work best in tandem with something like, if not actually, the ...

Gary Zhexi Zhang is a British-Chinese artist and writer. His work explores the entanglement of bio- and technological networks in material, speculative and poetic imaginaries. He is especially interested in the relationship between behaviour and morphology within decentralised social organisations: mycelia, swarms, internets and markets. He is a graduate student on the Art, Culture, Technology programme at MIT. ...
