ix). This is a bold claim in a day in which the conventional wisdom dictates that theology and science are two mutually irrelevant disciplines, whose respective findings have no implications for those of the other. As one who has tried to cross the line from the other direction, I can only agree with Davies, though perhaps for different reasons, that no serious religious thinker can ignore the ...

We investigate the time evolution of negativity and quantum discord for a pair of non-interacting qubits with one being weakly coupled to a decohering Davies-type Markovian environment. At initial time of preparation, the qubits are prepared in one of the maximally entangled pure Bell states. In the limiting case of pure decoherence (i.e. pure dephasing), both the quantum discord and negativity...

Background: Behaviour management techniques [BMTs] are utilized by dentists to aid children’s dental anxiety. Children’s perceptions of these have been under-explored, and their feedback could help inform paediatric dentistry. Aim: To explore children’s acceptability and perceptions of dental communication and BMTs, and to compare these by age, gender, and dental anxiety. Design: Sixty-two 9-to...

The authors explored the relevance of research on change blindness to eyewitness identification and testimony under intentional and incidental memory conditions. Participants (N = 80, 40 men and 40 women) viewed a video enactment of a burglary in which the identity of the burglar changed at the halfway point of the film. Half of participants were briefed to remember the content, and the other h...
