Article Synopsis
- Quantum computing offers capabilities that surpass classical computers, but current quantum machines produce noisy outputs, complicating result accuracy.
- This study assesses how noise affects bit string sampling and its consequences for optimization and machine learning tasks.
- By quantifying the sampling overhead and relating it to layer fidelity, the research establishes provable bounds on noise-free expectation values, validated through experiments on quantum computers with up to 127 qubits, showing good alignment with theoretical outcomes.*
Nitrogen-Fixing Gamma Proteobacteria -A Blueprint for Nitrogen-Fixing Plants?
Microorganisms
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The limited availability of fixed nitrogen is a major constraint on global agricultural production, and while the use of nitrogen fertilizers has supported population growth, it has also led to significant environmental issues.
- Renewed interest in biological nitrogen fixation seeks to address these nitrogen imbalances by harnessing the natural ability of microbes to convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which plants can use.
- To effectively engineer crops for nitrogen fixation, creating an optimal environment for this process is crucial, drawing insights from nitrogen-fixing bacteria as a model for developing new agricultural plants.
Background: Bilateral hemorrhagic thalamic lesions in dengue encephalitis resemble lesions seen in acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE). We investigate whether dengue-associated ANE (DANE) should be considered an ANE variant or a mimic.
Methods: Systematic review of dengue encephalitis literature from PubMed and SCOPUS (inception to December 31, 2022).
Objective: To use a practical approach to examining the use of Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) strategies by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) dimensions for rural health innovations using annual reports on a diverse array of initiatives.
Data Sources And Study Setting: The Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Rural Health (ORH) funds initiatives designed to support the implementation and spread of innovations and evidence-based programs and practices to improve the health of rural Veterans. This study draws on the annual evaluation reports submitted for fiscal years 2020-2022 from 30 of these enterprise-wide initiatives (EWIs).
Metformin is a biguanide currently used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. Besides its anti-glycemic effects, metformin has been reported to induce different cellular pleiotropic effects, depending on concentration and time of treatment. Here we report one administration of metformin (0.
