MACROSCOPIC SUPERPOSITIONS REQUIRE TREMENDOUS MEASUREMENT DEVICES

Macroscopic superpositions require tremendous measurement devices

We consider fundamental limits on the detectable size of macroscopic quantum superpositions.We argue that a full quantum mechanical treatment of system plus measurement device is required, and that a (classical) reference frame for phase or direction needs to be established to certify the quantum state.When taking the size of such a classical refer

Improving Functional Properties of Cassava Starch-Based Films by Incorporating Xanthan, Gellan, or Pullulan Gums

The effect of the partial substitution of cassava starch in edible films for 10 and 20 wt% of gellan, GOLD BROWN PWD xanthan, or pullulan gums was analysed in films obtained by casting.The tensile properties, barrier capacity to water vapour, and oxygen and water sorption isotherms of the samples were analysed.The blend of starch with gellan gum wa

Genome Partitioner: A web tool for multi-level partitioning of large-scale DNA constructs for synthetic biology applications.

Recent advances in lower-cost DNA synthesis techniques have enabled new innovations in the field of synthetic biology.Still, efficient design and higher-order assembly of genome-scale Dryer Motor Mounts DNA constructs remains a labor-intensive process.Given the complexity, computer assisted design tools that fragment large DNA sequences into fabric
