12-Spin-Qubit Arrays Fabricated on a 300 mm Semiconductor Manufacturing Line.

Intel's efforts to build a practical quantum computer are focused on developing a scalable spin-qubit platform leveraging industrial high-volume semiconductor manufacturing expertise and 300 mm fabrication infrastructure. Here, we provide an overview of the design, fabrication, and demonstration of a new customized quantum test chip, which contains 12-quantum-dot spin-qubit linear arrays, code named Tunnel Falls. These devices are fabricated using immersion and extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), along with other standard high-volume manufacturing (HVM) processes as well as production-level process control.

NELL1 variant protein (NV1) modulates hyper-inflammation, Th-1 mediated immune response, and the HIF-1α hypoxia pathway to promote healing in viral-induced lung injury.

Research underscores the urgent need for technological innovations to treat lung tissue damage from viral infections and the lasting impact of COVID-19. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of recombinant human NV1 protein in promoting a pro-healing extracellular matrix that regulates homeostasis in response to excessive tissue reactions caused by infection and injury. NV1 achieves this by calibrating multiple biological mechanisms, including reducing hyperinflammatory cytokine levels (e.

Evaluating environmental, weather, and management influences for sustainable beekeeping in California and Quebec: Enhancing beehive survival predictions.

Concerned about declining managed honeybee populations in North America, this study employed the random survival forest (RSF) model to assess beehive mortality, considering 18 diverse environmental, weather, and management practices. Our analysis focused on 15,906 and 6,690 beehives in California state, United States, and Quebec province, Canada for 2023, respectively. The accuracy of the RSF model was assessed through three accuracy metrics, namely concordance index (C-index), integrated Brier score (IBS), and time-dependent area under the curve (AUC).

Large-scale medieval urbanism traced by UAV-lidar in highland Central Asia.

Aerial light detection and ranging (lidar) has emerged as a powerful technology for mapping urban archaeological landscapes, especially where dense vegetation obscures site visibility. More recently, uncrewed aerial vehicle/drone lidar scanning has markedly improved the resolution of three-dimensional point clouds, allowing for the detection of slight traces of structural features at centimetres of detail across large archaeological sites, a method particularly useful in areas such as mountains, where rapid deposition and erosion irregularly bury and expose archaeological remains. Here we present the results of uncrewed aerial vehicle-lidar surveys in Central Asia, conducted at two recently discovered archaeological sites in southeastern Uzbekistan: Tashbulak and Tugunbulak.

The number of blood transfusions received and the incidence and severity of chronic lung disease among NICU patients born >31 weeks gestation.

Objective: We previously reported the possible pathogenic role, among infants born ≤29 weeks, of transfusions in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The present study examined this association in infants born >31 weeks.

Study Design: Analysis of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusions in five NICUs to infants born >31 weeks, and chronic neonatal lung disease (CNLD) at six-weeks of age.
