Mathematical framework for describing multipartite entanglement in terms of rows or columns of coefficient matrices

In this paper, we develop a mathematical framework for describing entanglement quantitatively and qualitatively for multipartite qudit states in terms of rows or columns of coefficient matrices. More specifically, we propose an entanglement measure and separability criteria based on rows or columns of coefficient matrices. This entanglement measure has an explicit mathematical expression by means of exterior products of all pairs of rows or columns in coefficient matrices. It is introduced via our result that the [Formula: see text]-concurrence coincides with the entanglement measure based on two-by-two minors of coefficient matrices. Depending on our entanglement measure, we obtain the separability criteria and maximal entanglement criteria in terms of rows or columns of coefficient matrices. Our conclusions show that just like every two-by-two minor in a coefficient matrix of a multipartite pure state, every pair of rows or columns can also exhibit its entanglement properties, and thus can be viewed as its smallest entanglement contribution unit too. The great merit of our entanglement measure and separability criteria is two-fold. First, they are very practical and convenient for computation compared to other methods. Second, they have clear geometric interpretations.

All roads lead to Rome, but someone are safer

Since the first in-human implantation, trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has shown an exciting development in both technical and technological terms, becoming the standard of care for many patients, even not only inoperable ones. Although trans-femoral (TF) access has the scepter of first-line route for TAVR, in some cases, this access is not feasible, so several alternative routes were introduces over time. The network meta-analysis by Hameed et al has the great merit to provide a comprehensive picture. Hence, through either direct and indirect comparison, the authors confirmed as TF is the gold standard as access, followed by trans-carotid and trans-subclavian. Conversely, trans-thoracic (trans apical and trans-aortic) routes are the least safe and should be reserved only to sporadic cases.

Simbol dan Makna Ritual Yaqowiyu di Jatinom Klaten

Yaqowiyu is one syncretism practice that still survives to this day in Indonesia. Rituals held every “Sapar” evolved since the days of Islamic Mataram. The purpose of the ritual is to remember the great merit of Ki Ageng Gribig, one of the missionaries of Islam in Jatinom Klaten during the reign of the “Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo”. Yaqowiyu ritual uniqueness lies in deployment “apem” in peak ceremony, which is a round cake made of rice flour with coconut pieces in the middle. This research aims to reveal the meaning of Yaqowiyu. Research methods used are observation, life history interviews and historical methods are to do an analysis of the documents. The results showed that Javanese people still strongly believe in animism. Yaqowiyu is interpreted as a ritual to maintain the safety and peace embodied by the behaviour of “ngalap berkah”. “Apem” cake meant as a tool to realize their request. But on the other hand, Yaqowiyu also is used as a propaganda strategy to spread the religion of Islam. At this point, Yaqowiyu also is interpreted as a tourist commodity that can be sold.

Sacramental view of creation: Denis Edwards on God’s presence in natural world

This review article summarises and engages critically with two books published by ATF Press in 2017 and 2020. One of them is Denis Edwards’s book that reflects his theological approach to nature, divine action and environmental ethics. The second book is a series of papers inspired by his theological approach. The great merit consists of establishing a fresh meaning of nature from the theological perspective. The article gathers three main themes present in the book: the meaning of nature, the inclusive character of the theology of nature and the relationship between God and nature from the Trinitarian perspective.Contribution: The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the recent development of the theology of nature and the share Denis Edwards had in it. The theology of nature needs to be ‘extended’ in order not just to include the relationship between the human and God, but the goal of the entire creation, and to point to the theological reasons for such an approach.

John the Baptist: The Absinthe of the Divine Feast?

My contribution focuses on the ‘Competition Thesis’ between John, Jesus and their disciples in reconstructing the life of the Baptist. One great merit of JBHT is adopting the Competition Thesis. When summarizing, guided by the Competition Thesis, Marcus first plays the devil’s advocate, enumerating the reasons that John should be seen as an independent figure claiming for himself the leading place in the scenario of end times. However, Marcus’s conclusion reverts to a position closer to the traditional view of John as witness and forerunner. John was the ‘absinthe of the divine feast’, as suggested by Renan. I confess: I am convinced by the devil’s advocate. Direct evidence for the competition thesis is thin. It is based on an indirect and contrary reading of the gospels, as often ‘protesting too much’ in insisting on the secondary role of John. Nevertheless, I maintain that the competition thesis should be embraced fully. One example of how it should be deployed is discussed in this article: the logion in Q, Matt 11:2-6//Luke 7:18-23, which concludes, ‘Happy is the man who does not find me a stumbling block’.

A REVIEW ON HERBAL EXCIPIENTS

The Herbal or natural excipients have great merit over their synthetic analogs as these are non-toxic, low-cost, and freely obtainable. The performance of the excipients partly determines the quality of the medicines. The plant acquired gums, mucilage from the natural origin for example carrageenan, thaumatin, lard, storax, agar, gum acacia, tragacanth, and excipients. They can also be easily altered to meet the specific needs, thereby being a potent many more to name comply with many requirements of the pharmaceutical and economic vehicle for transporting active pharmaceutical ingredients in the formulation. Thus present study aims to throw light on the probable of natural excipients which can be present to be used as a diluent, binder, disintegrant as well as lubricant in different types of formulations as they are biocompatible and capable of giving additional nutrition to the developed dosage form. This article gives an overview of natural excipients which are used in conventional dosage forms as well as novel drug delivery systems.

Scientific Trips Between Iraq and The Islamic East and Its Strategic Dimensions

The Islamic state between its regions and cities, there had to be a way to communicate among the people, and to know what was between them was acceptable and accepted and rejected. Centers for attracting scholars in Baghdad, Basra, Kufa, and Wasit, an important role in attracting and embracing scholars, especially Baghdad. The scholars of the Islamic East came to learn from Baghdad, Basra, Kufa, and Mosul. He was educated at the hands of Iraqi scholars, so a portion of these people went to their countries to spread their knowledge that they had learned after that great world permitted them and gave them their confidence, and some of them settled in Iraq. There are scholars who came from the Islamic East. They learned from Iraq’s scholars, and then they went on to spread their knowledge, and they have great merit in bringing all mental sciences and other useful sciences into the country for people to know and thus the nations will be known. There were also trips to the Levant, Egypt, and Andalusia. I thank the scholars for the good they have given us, and if they sin, I ask God Almighty to pass away from them and satisfy them with the consent of Heaven and Forgiveness, without them they would not have known. I can say that the Mashreq scholars who led to Iraq represented more than twice, who went from Iraq to the Islamic Mashreq, and this is what helped the Islamic Mashreq to thrive and God knows best.

Professor Tadeusz Stanisław Gałkowski (1936-2020) – A human being and a psychologist

This article is devoted to the life and work of Prof. Tadeusz Gałkowski - an outstanding representative of world psychology, who was able to harmoniously combine various manifestations of scientific, instructional, and social activities, focusing them especially on the rehabilitation of people with serious developmental disorders and difficulties in communication. His great merit was the initiation of research on the diagnosis and treatment of children with hearing impairments and autism in Poland - so important for extending the knowledge of special education, supporting the development of people with disabilities, and shaping appropriate social attitudes towards them.

Academician Timofey Petrovich Krasnobayev (1865–1952) (on the 155th anniversary of the birthday)

Academician Timofey Krasnobayev was born on March 6, 1865 in Smolensk, in a poor hairdresser ‘s family. After graduating from the gymnasium, Timofey Petrovich entered the Medical Faculty of the Moscow University. After graduated from the University in 1888, T. P. Krasnobayev worked for a year as an external student at the Smolensk provincial hospital and then returned to Moscow. At the very beginning of 1903, the Moscow City Administration sent Timofey Petrovich on a 6-month scientific mission to Western Europe to familiarize with children’s hospitals and their surgical departments and to study orthopaedic surgery. T. P. Krasnobayev was the ideologist of the system of prevention of secondary intra-hospital diseases in children. T. P. Krasnobayev made the greatest contribution to the development of child traumatology and orthopaedics. Timofey Petrovich had given more than 50 years to study the issues of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of bone-joint tuberculosis in children and is undoubtedly a luminary and a gene rally recognized authority in this section of pediatrics. T. P. Krasnobayev has a great merit in the organization of the X-ray service at the children’s hospital. He published about 70 scientific papers on pediatric surgery and made more than 150 reports. Academician Timofey Petrovich Krasnobayev died on October 11, 1952.

Noncrystallographic symmetry-constrained map obtained by direct density optimization

Noncrystallographic symmetry (NCS) averaging following molecular-replacement phasing is generally the major technique used to solve a structure with several molecules in one asymmetric unit, such as a spherical icosahedral viral particle. As an alternative method to NCS averaging, a new approach to optimize or to refine the electron density directly under NCS constraints is proposed. This method has the same effect as the conventional NCS-averaging method but does not include the process of Fourier synthesis to generate the electron density from amplitudes and the corresponding phases. It has great merit for the solution of structures with limited data that are either twinned or incomplete at low resolution. This method was applied to the case of the T = 1 shell-domain subviral particle of Penaeus vannamei nodavirus with data affected by twinning using the REFMAC5 refinement software.
