Protecting IP in the new global environment requires new information, new thinking and new strategies. While experienced legal counsel should always be sought when making global IP decisions, engineering, marketing, and sales people with limited experience in global IP protection often become involved in such decisions and therefore need to be familiar with key global IP issues. Here, we presen...

This chapter deals with an important citizen right: the ability to walk from home or work to the transit stop, or wait at a bus stop or on a station platform without the fear of being victimized. Crime and fear of crime unfortunately affect many aspects of everyday life in our cities. Transit crime is a rather persistent but underreported trend that scares and intimidates riders – particularly ...

The precautionary principle is a guide to public policy decision making (Raffensperger and Tickner 1999, Schettler et al. 2002). It responds to the realization that humans often cause serious and widespread harm to people, wildlife, and the general environment. According to the precautionary principle, precautionary action should be undertaken when there are credible threats of harm, despite re...

Abstract Modern quantum technologies rely crucially on techniques to mitigate decoherence; these can be either passive, achieved for example via materials engineering, or active, typically pulsed monochromatic driving fields applied the qubit. Using a solid-state defect spin coupled microwave-driven bath, we experimentally demonstrate decoherence mitigation method based spectral engineering of ...
