Manganese superoxide dismutase and breast cancer recurrence: a Danish clinical registry-based case-control study, and a meta-analysis.

Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) inhibits oxidative damage and cancer therapy effectiveness.A polymorphism in its encoding gene (SOD2: Val16Ala rs4880) may confer poorer breast cancer survival, but data are inconsistent.We examined the association of SOD2 genotype and breast cancer recurrence (BCR) among patients treated with cyclophosphamide

Comparison of memory thresholds for planar qudit geometries

We introduce and analyze a new type of decoding algorithm called general color clustering, based on renormalization group methods, to be used in qudit color codes.The performance of this decoder is analyzed under a generalized bit-flip error model, and is used to obtain the first memory threshold estimates for qudit 6-6-6 color codes.The proposed d
