We give a complete proposal showing how to detect the non-classical nature of photonic states with naked eyes Books as detectors.The enabling technology is a sub-Poissonian photonic state that is obtained from single photons, displacement operations in phase space and basic non-photon-number-resolving detectors.We present a detailed statistical ana
Reanalysis of Wupus agilis (Early Cretaceous) of Chongqing, China as a Large Avian Trace: Differentiating between Large Bird and Small Non-Avian Theropod Tracks.
Trace fossils provide the only records of Early Cretaceous birds from many parts of the world.The identification of traces from large avian track-makers is made difficult given their overall similarity in size and tridactyly in comparison with traces of small non-avian theropods.Reanalysis of Wupus agilis from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) J
A Practice-Oriented Procedure for Seismic Reliability Assessment of RC Structures Affected by Carbonation-Induced Degradation
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Europe have generally been designed without proper consideration of seismic actions and capacity design principles, and thus they tend to be vulnerable to earthquakes.Moreover, since a significant proportion of the aforementioned buildings were developed during the 1950s and 1960s, they are currently c
Predictors and Risk Factors of Pathologic Complete Response Following Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Rectal Cancer: A Population-Based Analysis
Background: Patients with rectal cancer who achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) may have a better prognosis and may be eligible for non-operative management.The aim of this research was to identify variables for predicting pCR in rectal cancer patients after nCRT and to define clinical risk factors
