Photon losses are the main obstacle to fully photonic implementations of device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD).Motivated by recent work showing that routed Bell scenarios offer increased robustness to detection inefficiencies for the certification of long-range quantum correlations, we investigate DIQKD protocols based on a routed set
Aiming at the problems of low contrast and low definition of fog degraded image, this paper proposes an image defogging algorithm based Lip Crayon on sparse representation.Firstly, the algorithm transforms image from RGB space to HSI space and uses two-level wavelet transform extract features of image brightness components.Then, it uses the K-SVD a
Brazil is one of the centers of diversity of Cactaceae, yet studies addressing both pollination biology and the breeding system in Brazilian cacti are scarce.We herein present a detailed analysis of two native species with economic relevance: Cereus hildmannianus and Pereskia aculeata.The first species produce edible, sweet, spineless fruits and th
Background and purposeThe role of copy number variation (CNV) variation in stroke susceptibility and outcome has yet to be explored.The Copy Number Variation and Stroke (CaNVAS) Risk and Outcome study addresses this knowledge gap.MethodsOver 24,500 well-phenotyped IS cases, including IS subtypes, and over 43,500 controls have been identified, all w
