Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.4K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Pilot and Numeric Relaying01:21

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

538
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

Differential Relays01:20

Differential Relays

919
Differential relays are used to protect generators, buses, and transformers by comparing electrical quantities at different points. When a fault occurs, the difference in current between the two points triggers the relay to operate, opening the circuit breaker. Under normal conditions, the current entering (i1) and leaving (i2) a generator are equal. When a fault occurs, however, these currents become unequal, and the difference current flows in the relay operating coil, causing the relay to...

Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients01:14

Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients

5.6K
The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also known as the partition law, states that if a solute is added to the mixture of two immiscible solvents at a constant temperature, the solute is distributed between the two solvents in such a way that the ratio of solute concentrations in the solvents remains constant at equilibrium.
For extracting a solute from an aqueous phase into an...

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lead Control01:24

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lead Control

520
Phase-lead controllers are commonly used in various control systems to enhance response speed and stability. Adjusting the brightness on a television screen offers a practical example of phase-lead control. When contrast is enhanced, a phase-lead controller is employed. Mathematically, phase-lead control is identified when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
The design of phase-lead control involves the strategic placement of poles and zeros to balance steady-state error and system...

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lag Control01:21

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lag Control

451
Phase-lag controllers are widely used in control systems to improve stability and reduce steady-state errors. A dimmer switch controlling the brightness of a light bulb serves as a practical example of phase-lag control, gradually adjusting the bulb's brightness. Mathematically, phase-lag control or low-pass filtering is represented when the factor 'a' is less than 1.
Phase-lag controllers do not place a pole at zero, but instead influence the steady-state error by amplifying any...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Information Science
  • Quantum Cryptography
  • Optical Communication

Background:

  • Bit error rate in quantum key distribution (QKD) dictates information leakage and privacy amplification.
  • Traditional QKD protocols, like Bennett-Brassard, have strict error rate thresholds (e.g., 25%) limiting their use in noisy environments.
  • High error rates restrict secure key generation by necessitating key shortening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and experimentally demonstrate a passive round-robin differential phase-shifted (RRDPS) QKD scheme.
  • To overcome the environmental noise limitations of existing QKD protocols.
  • To enable secure key generation in environments with higher disturbance levels.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a passive RRDPS QKD system operating at 500 MHz.
  • Experimental demonstration of the RRDPS QKD scheme over a 50 km fiber link.
  • Characterization of the system's performance concerning bit error rate and secure key generation.

Main Results:

  • The passive RRDPS QKD system successfully generated a secure key over 50 km.
  • The system demonstrated tolerance to a bit error rate as high as 29%.
  • This represents a significant improvement over protocols with lower error rate thresholds.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed passive RRDPS QKD scheme effectively removes the strict error rate restrictions of conventional QKD protocols.
  • This RRDPS QKD system is suitable for applications in noisy or disturbed environments.
  • The scheme enhances the practical applicability of QKD in real-world scenarios.
