A universal programmable Gaussian boson sampler for drug discovery.

Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) has the potential to solve complex graph problems, such as clique finding, which is relevant to drug discovery tasks. However, realizing the full benefits of quantum enhancements requires large-scale quantum hardware with universal programmability. Here we have developed a time-bin-encoded GBS photonic quantum processor that is universal, programmable and software-scalable.

The impact of technical cashew nut shell liquid on thermally-induced trans isomers in edible oils.

The effects of technical cashew nut shell liquid (TCNSL) on the trans isomerization of edible oils during heating are investigated. Edible oils were subjected to thermal treatment at various heating times and temperatures. Our results show that the addition of TCNSL to edible oils at the appropriate concentration during heating suppresses trans fatty acid formation and induces formation of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers.

[Traditional Chinese medicine inheritance system analysis of professor Ding Yuanqing in treating tic disorder medication based on experience].

In recent years, the incidence of tic disorders has increased, and it is not uncommon for the patients to treat the disease. The pathogenesis and pathogenesis of Western medicine are not yet clear, the clinical commonly used western medicine has many adverse reactions, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research is increasingly valued. Based on the software of TCM inheritance assistant system, this paper discusses Ding Yuanqing's experience in treating tic disorder with Professor.

Complexation of synthetic CDM-AM copolymer with natamycin and carbendazim to improve solubility and fungicidal activity.

The β-cyclodextrin-acrylamide (CDM-AM) copolymer was prepared from acrylamide and β-CD maleate (CDM) using K2S2O8 as initiator. The effects of the CDM-AM copolymer on the solubility and fungicidal activity of natamycin (NM) and carbendazim (MBC) were investigated. The stability constant of NM·CDM-AM and MBC·CDM-AM complexes at 303 K were of 10,725.

Synthesis of two β-cyclodextrin derivatives containing a vinyl group.

β-CD maleate (CDM) and β-CD itaconate (CDI) were prepared by esterification of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with maleic acid and itaconic acid using phosphate as a catalyst in a semi-dry process. The esterification of β-CD was carried out using [Itaconic acid ] or [Maleic acid ] 4 mol/mol of CD; M/L ratio 1:0.6; temperature 110 °C; [4-methoxyphenol] 2.

Fractions and leaching characteristics of mercury in coal.

A huge amount of coal is always stored in open spaces in coal-fired power plants before combustion. Mercury released from coal by rain or flowing water is an environmental risk and can cause contamination of the soil around the storage area. To better understand mercury pollution and to control mercury emission before combustion, it is necessary to determine the mobility and leaching characteristics of mercury from coal.

[The quantified analysis of fresh mutton tenderness using PLS methods and Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy].

Ninety eight representative fresh mutton samples from Neimeng, Ningxia, Gansu, Xinjiang province were selected for this study, the nondestructive measurement of the fresh mutton tenderness by Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy was discussed. Partial least squares(PLS) algorithm was used to build the model between the shear force value of the fresh mutton tenderness measured by the texture machine and the FT-NIR spectra. The influence of different processing method of spectra, factors and wave regions on the determination coefficients (r2), root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was studied.
