Thermodynamics of Quantum Feedback Cooling

The ability to initialize quantum registers in pure states lies at the core of many applications of aluminum lotion quantum technologies, from sensing to quantum information processing and computation.In this paper, we tackle the problem of increasing the polarization bias of an ensemble of two-level register spins by means of joint coherent manipu

Functional Characterization and Signaling Systems of Corazonin and Red Pigment Concentrating Hormone in the Green Shore Crab, Carcinus maenas

Neuropeptides play a central role as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and hormones in orchestrating arthropod physiology.The post-genomic surge in identified neuropeptides and their putative receptors has not been matched by functional characterization of ligand-receptor pairs.Indeed, until very recently no G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) had
