Quantum computers differ significantly from classical computers, necessitating a distinct approach to algorithm design, which involves taming quantum mechanical phenomena. This paper extends the numbering of computable programs to be applied in the quantum computing context. Numbering computable programs is a theoretical computer science concept that assigns unique numbers to individual programs or algorithms. Common methods include Gödel numbering which encodes programs as strings of symbols or characters, often used in formal systems and mathematical logic. Based on the proposed numbering approach, this paper presents a mechanism to explore the set of possible quantum algorithms. The proposed approach is able to construct useful circuits such as Quantum Key Distribution BB84 protocol, which enables sender and receiver to establish a secure cryptographic key via a quantum channel. The proposed approach facilitates the process of exploring and constructing quantum algorithms.展开更多

In this area, computability-theoretic properties of at most countable families of sets S are typically classified via the corresponding Rogers upper semilattices. In most cases, a Rogers semilattice cannot be a lattice. Working within the framework of Formal Concept Analysis, we develop two new approaches to the classification of families S. Similarly to the classical theory of numberings, each of the approaches assigns to a family S its own concept lattice. The first approach captures the cardinality of a family S: if S contains more than 2 elements, then the corresponding concept lattice FC1(S) is a modular lattice of height 3, such that the number of its atoms to the cardinality of S. Our second approach gives a much richer environment. We prove that for any countable poset P, there exists a family S such that the induced concept lattice FC2(S) is isomorphic to the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of P. We also establish connections with the class of enumerative lattices introduced by Hoyrup and Rojas in their studies of algorithmic randomness. We show that every lattice FC2(S) is anti-isomorphic to an enumerative lattice. In addition, every enumerative lattice is anti-isomorphic to a sublattice of the lattice FC2(S) for some family S.展开更多

The famous Zarankiewicz’s conjecture on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph Km,n states that cr(Km,n)=Z(m,n)=[m/2][m-1/2][n/2[n-1/2].Based on Zarankiewicz’s conjecture, a natural problem is to study the change in the crossingnumber of the graphs obtained from the complete bipartite graph by adding certain edge sets.If Zarankiewicz’s conjecture is true, this paper proves that cr(G^((1))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+2[n/2] and cr(G^((2))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+n.展开更多

Following a brief introduction to some properties of the proposed method, a comparative analysis based on 36 sets of generalized fuzzy numbers was performed, in which the degree of similarity of the fuzzy numbers was calculated with the proposed method and seven methods established by previous studies in the literature. The results of the analytical comparison show that the proposed similarity outperforms the existing methods by overcoming their drawbacks and yielding accurate outcomes in all calculations of similarity measures under consideration. Finally, in a numerical example that involves recommending cars to customers based on a nine-member linguistic term set, the proposed similarity measure proves to be competent in addressing fuzzy number recommendation problems.展开更多

文摘Rice grain yield is primarily determined by three key agronomic traits:panicle number,grain number per panicle,and grain weight(GW).However,the inherent tradeoffs among these yield components remain a persistent challenge in rice breeding programs.Notably,compared with GW,brown rice weight(BRW)provides a more direct metric associated with actual grain yield potential.In this study,we conducted a two-year replicated genome-wide association study to elucidate the genetic architecture of BRW and identify new loci regulating GW.Among seven consistently detected loci across experimental replicates,four were not co-localized with previously reported genes associated with BRW or GW traits.BRW1.1,one of the four newly identified loci,was found to encode a novel RNA-binding protein.Functional characterization revealed that BRW1.1 acts as a negative regulator of BRW,potentially through modulating mRNA translation processes.Intriguingly,through integrated analysis of mutant phenotypes and haplotype variations,we demonstrated that BRW1.1 mediates the physiological tradeoff between GW and panicle number.This study not only delineates the genetic determinants of BRW but also identifies BRW1.1 as a promising molecular target for breaking the yield component tradeoff in precision rice breeding.

文摘The COVID-19 lockdown was a typical example of extreme emission reduction,providing an opportunity to study the impact of lockdown measures on air pollution.Particle number concentrations(PNC)originate from direct emissions or through new particle formation events.However,their variations during the lockdown period are under investigation.This study focuses on Luohe,a city on the southern edge of the North China Plain,analyzing the changes in PNC and its sources before,during,and after the COVID-19 lockdown.From March 25^(th)to May 31^(st),2022,real-time PNC measurements were conducted using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer for particle size.Results showed an 11.2%decrease in PNC during the lockdown compared to pre-lockdown and a 3.6%decrease compared to post-lockdown,indicating reduced local emissions and weakened regional transportation during the lockdown.Positive Matrix Factorization analysis identified six sources contributing to the total PNC,including photochemical nucleation,aged photochemical nucleation,gasoline vehicle emissions,diesel vehicle emissions,coal and biomass combustion,and secondary aerosols.The significant changes in source emissions indicate a substantially reduced traffic volume after the implementation of lockdown measures(2644.8#/cm^(3),2202.2#/cm^(3),2792.7#/cm^(3)).Concurrently,photochemical nucleation(310.1#/cm^(3),306.3#/cm^(3),393.1#/cm^(3))and photochemical nucleation aging(592.8#/cm^(3),744.1#/cm^(3),810.7#/cm^(3))exhibited increasing trends,while coal/biomass combustion(1656.6#/cm^(3),1586.2#/cm^(3),980.0#/cm^(3))and secondary sources(999.4#/cm^(3),791.1#/cm^(3),804.1#/cm^(3))showed decreasing trends.In summary,the contributions of traffic emissions to PNC highlight the potential for targeted traffic management strategies to improve urban air quality.
文摘This study presents a new approach that advances the algorithm of similarity measures between generalized fuzzy numbers. Following a brief introduction to some properties of the proposed method, a comparative analysis based on 36 sets of generalized fuzzy numbers was performed, in which the degree of similarity of the fuzzy numbers was calculated with the proposed method and seven methods established by previous studies in the literature. The results of the analytical comparison show that the proposed similarity outperforms the existing methods by overcoming their drawbacks and yielding accurate outcomes in all calculations of similarity measures under consideration. Finally, in a numerical example that involves recommending cars to customers based on a nine-member linguistic term set, the proposed similarity measure proves to be competent in addressing fuzzy number recommendation problems.
