Ocular or choroidal nevus (CN) is a rare benign neoplastic lesion of the eye.The cause of CN onset/progression, which arises from the transformation of ocular melanocytes, is not known.A fraction of CN patients may develop uveal melanoma.The objective of this study was to investigate the association between CN and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a small D

Garlic and onion are the popular In Ground Product (Filters) ingredients and spices world wide with their specific flavour.Plants of the Allium produce many chemical compounds related with characteristic taste and flavour.They involved many metabolites such as organic acid, sugar and amino acid.The growth environments of products affect content of

Crack closure influences fatigue PURE PRUNE crack growth rate and must be included in the design of components.Plasticity induced crack closure is intimately linked with the crack tip plastic deformation, which becomes residual as the crack propagates.The objective here is to study numerically the effect of crack propagation on crack tip fields.The

Universal quantum computing with continuous variables requires non-Gaussian resources, in addition to a Gaussian set of operations.A known resource enabling universal quantum computation is the cubic phase state, Gift Wrap a non-Gaussian state whose experimental implementation has so far remained elusive.In this paper, we introduce two Gaussian con
