Pot Grab Abstract Quantum Boltzmann machines (QBMs) are machine-learning models for both classical and quantum data.We give an operational definition of QBM learning in terms of the difference in expectation values between the model and target, taking into account the polynomial size of the data set.By using the relative entropy as a loss function,
Surgical and clinical efficacy of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion surgery: a meta-analysis protocol
Introduction Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction has been shown to cause significant morbidity.Current treatment includes conservative management and surgical intervention.Previously published data reporting clinical Extensions and surgical outcomes reached conflicting conclusions.This protocol aims to conduct a meta-analysis to determine fusion rat
Establishment of microbial model communities capable of removing trace organic chemicals for biotransformation mechanisms research
Abstract Background Removal of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) in aquatic environments has been intensively studied.Some members of natural microbial communities play a vital role in transforming chemical contaminants, however, complex microbial interactions impede us from gaining adequate understanding of TOrC biotransformation mechanisms.To simpl
Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination of mouth swabs during production causing a major outbreak
Abstract Background In 2002 we investigated an outbreak comprising 231 patients in Norway, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and linked to the use of contaminated mouth swabs called Dent-O-Sept.Here we describe the extent of contamination of the REPAIR MASK swabs, and identify critical points in the production process that made the contamination pos
Mobile money innovations, income inequality and gender inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract This study assesses the role of mobile money innovations on income inequality and gender inclusion in 42 sub-Saharan African countries from 1980 to 2019 using interactive quantile regressions.It finds that, first, income inequality unconditionally reduces the involvement of women in business and politics.Second, mobile money innovations in
