A UNIFIED DIAGRAMMATIC APPROACH TO TOPOLOGICAL FIXED POINT MODELS

A unified diagrammatic approach to topological fixed point models

We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study to topological phases of matter.The framework established is reminiscent to that of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum AUTOMATIC field theories, but is formalized and unified in terms of tensor networks.In contrast to existing t

A digital PCR approach to assess the purity of oregano

Herbs and spices are food categories known to be at high risk of adulteration.Presence of undeclared foreign plant species has often been reported in oregano and may have a direct impact on its organoleptic quality and potentially the safety of this aromatic Sushi Mold herb.A droplet digital PCR approach was developed to assess the purity of oregan

Rice Brittle Culm19 Encoding Cellulose Synthase Subunit CESA4 Causes Dominant Brittle Phenotype But has No Distinct Influence on Growth and Grain Yield

Abstract Background Mechanical strength is a crucial agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa), and brittle mutants are thought suitable materials to investigate the mechanism of cell wall formation.So far, almost all brittle mutants are recessive, and most of them are defected in multiple morphologies and/or grain yield, limiting their application in
