Eylee Jung and DaeKil Park1,2∗ Department of Electronic Engineering, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Department of Physics, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Abstract It is well-known that entanglement of formation (EOF) and relative entropy of entanglement (REE) are exactly identical for all two-qubit pure states even though their definitions are completely different. W...

Less than two centuries ago, some natural philosophers speculated that all things had their ontological place on a “chain of being.” God occupied the position of greatest perfection; humans were farther down on the scale but still above all other mortal creatures. Although this imagery is supposed to carry little weight in the life sciences (the progeny, as it were, of natural philosophy), I wi...

The authors argue that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) provisions of Bill C-61– Canada's latest attempt at implementing its obligations under the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, inter alia – is ultra vires of Parliament's enumerated powers, and unconstitutionally intrudes into the Provincial legislative sphere. The DRM provisions of Bill C-61 represent...

The communal nature of living and training environments, alongside suboptimal hygiene and stressors in the field, place military personnel at higher risk of contracting emerging infectious diseases. Some of these diseases spread quickly within ranks resulting in large outbreaks, and personnel deployed are also often immunologically naïve to otherwise uncommonly-encountered pathogens. Furthermor...

52 VITAMIN D—BIOMOLECULAR CHARACTERISTICS There are two ways of acquiring vitamin D—cutaneous irradiation and diet. In the skin, cholecalciferol is synthesized through UV irradiation of 7-dihydrocholesterol. In infants, immobile or institutionalized persons, the elderly (>70 years old), and veiled women or those living in northern latitudes, sun radiation may not be a sufficient source of vitam...

conclusions our observations add to the knowledge base of the various causes of meniscus tears; this study also revealed that socio-cultural factors influence and contribute to the mechanism of various types of knee injury. patients and methods this retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care orthopaedic hospital which caters to a population of 10 million people. we assessed 120 non-at...

In one of her earliest poems, "Sonnet", sense-perception is seen as an incessant process, the "laborious focus" of eyes and brain which accumulates material for later meditation. "The Maker" has particular relevance to the poet's art. This lyric deals with the poet's unique power to synthesise sense-data into song. In "GumTrees Stripping", on the other hand, sense-perception is but one part of ...

We investigated neural mechanism for animacy perception by Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) during reaching action. Participants were asked to observe an object, either of an animate thing (turtle) or an inanimate thing (robot), which was veiled so that they had to judge only by its motions, not appearance, what it was. We compared ERPs between the condition they felt it as animate and the condi...

Free access to information is a powerful and alluring concept. Under the “Public Access to Science Act,” recently introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives by Representative Martin O. Sabo (Democrat, Minnesota), papers describing scientific research substantially funded by the U.S. Government would be excluded from copyright protection. This is proposed as a means to guarantee free acce...

Roughly 40% of the Earth's total heat flow is powered by radioactive decays in the crust and mantle. Geo-neutrinos produced by these decays provide important clues about the origin, formation and thermal evolution of our planet, as well as the composition of its interior. Previous measurements of geo-neutrinos have all relied on the detection of inverse beta decay reactions, which are insensiti...
