Abstract: A diverting agent and method for temporarily filling fractures. The diverting agent contains a powder-like polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (P1) and a pellet-like polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (P2), and has an adsorption coefficient kc of 0.01 or more and 1 or less.

Abstract: A reference region determination device is for determining a reference region to be stored in a reference image buffer, and includes: a motion vector acquisition portion configured to acquire a motion vector for each one of already encoded blocks; a position change amount derivation portion configured to derive a position change amount for the reference region based on the acquired motion vectors; and a reference region determination portion configured to determine a position of the reference region to be used in encoding of a next block for encoding after the already encoded blocks based on the position change amount.

Abstract: A method is implemented to select a calculator for performing given processing using a quantum algorithm or a combined algorithm of a classical algorithm and the quantum algorithm. The method comprises a calculation operation, a selection operation, and a control operation. The calculation operation calculates a quantum bit or a quantum volume for performing the given processing using the quantum algorithm, or for a portion of the quantum algorithm when performing the given processing using the combined algorithm. The selection operation selects a calculator for performing the given processing based on the quantum bit or the quantum volume. The control operation generates a control signal to be transmitted to the quantum calculator when the selected calculator includes a quantum calculator. The control signal may correspond to an instruction that initiates the quantum calculator to start the quantum algorithm.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate motion formalism utilizing quantum computing, to compute matrix operators in terms of commutators between qubit operators and measurements on the quantum hardware, wherein the commutators are computed utilizing symbolic calculus. Embodiments reduce computational cost of generalized eigenvalue synthesis relying on symbolic calculus and parallelization. Embodiments disclosed herein can also develop estimators of excited-states properties, considering constants of motion (e.g. spin) and non-constants of motions (e.g. dipoles, density matrices).

Abstract: A data processing method acquires a first calculated value by a first calculation method as a physical property value and a second calculated value by a second calculation method as the physical property value, of each of a plurality of first compounds whose true value of the physical property value is known. The method then generates a first correction model and a second correction model for correcting the first calculated value and the second calculated value, respectively, to the true value. The method stores, in a database, corrected values corrected by the first and second correction models of calculated values as the true values, where the calculated values are acquired by the first and second calculation methods as a physical property value of a second compound whose true value of the physical property value is unknown.
