TOWARDS THE GENERATION OF MECHANICAL KERR-CATS: AWAKENING THE PERTURBATIVE QUANTUM MOYAL CORRECTIONS TO CLASSICAL MOTION

Towards the generation of mechanical Kerr-cats: awakening the perturbative quantum Moyal corrections to classical motion

The quantum to classical transition is determined by the interplay of a trio of parameters: dissipation, nonlinearity, and macroscopicity.Why is nonlinearity needed to see quantum effects? And, is not an ordinary pendulum quite nonlinear already? In this manuscript, we discuss the parameter regime where the dynamics of a massive oscillator should b

The morphology of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium in a repeated-batch fermentation for exopolysaccharide production

The morphology of Ganoderma lucidum BCCM 31549 mycelium in a repeated-batch fermentation (RBF) was studied for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production.RBF was optimised for time to replace and volume to replace.G.lucidum mycelium showed the ability to self-immobilise and exhibited high stability for repeated use in RBF with engulfed pellets.Furthermore,
