Article Synopsis
  • Building large-scale quantum computers requires effective error-correction strategies to manage the issues that arise in quantum systems.
  • Quantum error-correction codes, particularly the surface code, rely on accurately decoding noisy information to recover correct data, which is a significant challenge.
  • A new recurrent neural network decoder has been developed that learns to decode the surface code, outperforming existing decoders and showcasing machine learning's potential to enhance quantum computing through direct data learning.

Article Synopsis
  • Preclinical models that closely mimic patient tumors are essential for advancing cancer research, especially in testing therapies.
  • While lab-based (in vitro) models help assess tumor responses, live (in vivo) systems are necessary to study external factors like the immune system and tumor environment, especially for immunotherapies.
  • Researchers developed a new transplantable colorectal cancer model using genetically modified mice, allowing for better testing of therapies on different types of tumors with various genetic mutations.

Aqueous phase reforming has been explored for renewable H production from waste biomass. Promising results have been reported for pyrolysis bio-oil aqueous fractions (AFB), but economical assessments are needed to determine process feasibility, which requires both energy consumption minimization and optimal H valorization. This work compares different alternatives using process simulation and economic evaluation computational tools.

We performed an arboviral survey in mosquitoes from four endemic Ecuadorian cities (Huaquillas, Machala, Portovelo and Zaruma) during the epidemic period 2016-2018. Collections were performed during the pre-rainy season (2016), peak transmission season (2017) and post-rainy season (2018). Ae.
