Privacy amplification is an indispensable step in postprocessing of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), which is used to distill unconditional secure keys from identical corrected keys between two distant legal parties.The processing speed of privacy amplification has a significant effect on the secret key rate of a CV-QKD system

Energy harnessing from renewable energy sources has become more flexible with power electronic technologies.Recent advancements in power electronic technologies achieve converter efficiency higher than 98%.Today, reliable power electronic devices are needed to design a PV-based energy converter (inverter) to reduce the risk of failure and maintenan

This paper explores the last three documentaries made by Japanese filmmaker Sato Makoto before his early death in 2007.Self and Others (2000), Memories of Agano (2004), and Out of Place: Memories of Edward Said (2005).They are not only a prime example of his uniqueness in the recent history of Japanese cinema, but also a triptych that, albeit in re

The new classification of drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) is based on phenotypes, endotypes, and biomarkers.Immediate and delayed reactions are the clinical phenotypic presentation while endotypes are based on Surge Protector cellular, biological mediators, and biomarkers.Complement activation, cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition, Mas-Related G Prot

Verticillium dahliae is a cosmopolitan, soilborne fungus that causes a significant wilt disease on a wide variety of plant hosts including economically important crops, ornamentals, and timber species.Clonal expansion through asexual reproduction plays a vital role in recurring plant epidemics caused by this pathogen.The recent discovery of recombi
