Article Abstract

In this paper, a practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution system is developed and it runs in the real-world conditions with 25 MHz clock rate. To reach high-rate, we have employed a homodyne detector with maximal bandwidth to 300 MHz and an optimal high-efficiency error reconciliation algorithm with processing speed up to 25 Mbps. To optimize the stability of the system, several key techniques are developed, which include a novel phase compensation algorithm, a polarization feedback algorithm, and related stability method on the modulators. Practically, our system is tested for more than 12 hours with a final secret key rate of 52 kbps over 50 km transmission distance, which is the highest rate so far in such distance. Our system may pave the road for practical broadband secure quantum communication with continuous variables in the commercial conditions.

Background: Labeo fimbriatus (Bloch, 1795) is a medium-sized South Asian minor carp with ecological significance and emerging aquaculture potential, particularly in polyculture systems with Indian major carps. Despite its wide distribution, it remains underrepresented in phylogenetic studies, and limited genomic resources are available. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L.

Epigenetic Age Acceleration and Cardiometabolic Biomarkers in Response to Weight-Loss Dietary Interventions Among Obese Individuals: The MACRO Trial.

Aging Cell

Epigenetic clocks have emerged as promising biomarkers of aging, but their responsiveness to lifestyle interventions and relevance for short-term changes in cardiometabolic health remain uncertain. In this study, we examined the associations between three epigenetic aging measures (DunedinPACE, PCPhenoAge acceleration, and PCGrimAge acceleration) and a broad panel of cardiometabolic biomarkers in 144 obese participants from the MACRO trial, a 12-month weight-loss dietary intervention comparing low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets. At pre-intervention baseline, DunedinPACE was significantly associated with several cardiometabolic biomarkers (FDR [false discovery rate] < 0.

Cancer patients experience circadian rhythm disruptions during and after chemotherapy that can contribute to debilitating side effects. It is unknown how chemotherapy mediates circadian disruptions, and specifically the extent to which these disruptions occur at the level of the principal clock, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. In the present study, we assessed how the commonly used chemotherapeutic, paclitaxel, impacts the SCN molecular clock and SCN-dependent behavioral adaptations to circadian challenges in female mice.

The proton (or hydrogen atom) transfer via tunneling plays a key role in chemical and biological processes. However, our understanding of multiple motion or proton concerted tunneling is very limited. Herein, we find that the weak dispersion interaction in the formic acid dimer (FAD)-fluorobenzene (PhF) system does not change the double proton transfer (DPT) barrier in FAD, but induces the FAD swing coupled with DPT.
