Abstract Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface.The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, Axle Sleeve is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain iron, including iron oxides and metallic iron.Regolith samples are limited, and
Demonstration of Fault-Tolerant Steane Quantum Error Correction
Encoding information redundantly using quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes allows one to overcome the inherent sensitivity to noise in quantum computers to ultimately achieve large-scale quantum computation.The Steane QEC method involves preparing an auxiliary logical qubit of the same QEC code as used for the data register.The data and auxiliary
Do Involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous and Religiousness Both Directly and Indirectly through Meaning in Life Lead to Spiritual Experiences?
Spirituality is a key element of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) recovery.However, little is known about the potential religious and secular sources of spiritual experiences in AA fellowship.The aim of the study was to verify if in a sample of AA participants, meaning in life mediates the relationship between their religiousness and spiritual experiences
Phlebotomus papatasi Antimicrobial Peptides in Larvae and Females and a Gut-Specific Defensin Upregulated by Leishmania major Infection
Phlebotomus papatasi is the vector of Leishmania major, causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World.We investigated whether P.papatasi immunity genes were expressed toward L.major, commensal gut microbes, or a combination of both.We focused on sand fly transcription factors dorsal and relish and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) attacin and defens
