Traps characterize home states in free choice systems

Influence-free states on compound quantum systems

Consider two spatially separated agents, Alice and Bob, each of whom is able to make local quantum measurements, and who can communicate with each other over a purely classical channel. As has been pointed out by a number of authors, the set of mathematically consistent joint probability assignments (“states”) for such a system is properly larger than the set of quantum-mechanical mixed states ...

Second-Hand Smoke Exposure at Home in the United States; Minorities’ Diminished Returns

Introduction: Educational attainment and poverty status are two strong socioeconomic status (SES) indicators that protect individuals against exposure to second-hand smoke. Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs), however, refer to smaller protective effects of SES indicators among ethnic minority groups such as Hispanics and Blacks, compared to non-Hispanic Whites. This...

Analytical techniques used to characterize drug-polyvinylpyrrolidone systems in solid and liquid states – An overview

Homogeneous distribution of poorly water-soluble drugs in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a hydrophilic carrier, is definitely a suitable way to improve the bioavailability of such drugs. However, fundamental knowledge of drug polymer interaction and comprehensive study of the thermal, structural and solubility properties of such binary systems is the prerequisite for the development of useful drug...
