Abstract The maximum amount of entanglement achievable under passive transformations by continuous-variable states is called the entanglement potential.Recent work has demonstrated that the entanglement potential is upper-bounded by a simple function of the squeezing of formation, and that certain classes of two-mode Gaussian states can indeed satu
Kids Watch Animal models are invaluable tools which allow us to investigate the microbiome-host dialogue.However, experimental design introduces biases in the data that we collect, also potentially leading to biased conclusions.With obesity at pandemic levels animal models of this disease have been developed; we investigated the role of experimenta
Relative age effects (RAEs) occur when those who are relatively older for their age group are more likely to succeed.RAEs occur reliably in some educational and athletic contexts, yet the causal mechanisms remain unclear.Here we provide Crank Pulley the first direct test of one mechanism, selection bias, which can be defined as evaluators granting
Metal-regulatory transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is of importance in maintaining metal homeostasis.Copper exposure considerably stimulates the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells with enhanced MTF-1 expression.However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been completely elucidated.In this study, we utilized different appro
Wall climbing robots using negative pressure suction always employ air Diaper Bag pumps which have great noise and large volume.Two prototypes of bio-inspired miniature suction cup actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) are designed based on studying characteristics of biologic suction apparatuses, and the suction cups in this paper can be used as ad
