Opinion dynamics in relative agreement models seen as an extension of bounded confidence ones, involve a new agents’ variable usually called opinion uncertainty and have higher level complexity than that models. After revising the meaning we conclude it has to be interpreted agent’s toleration, changes type from social psychological one. Since convergence rates stationary states sociological va...

Noel D. Johnson and Mark Koyama’s book, Persecution Toleration: The Long Road to Religious Freedom, examines the links between religion, state action, development of liberalism in medieval Europe. It discusses a model “conditional toleration”; how interaction religion influences persecution discrimination against minorities; religious freedom eventually paved way for scientific advances, libera...

Inherent gate errors can arise in quantum computation when the actual system Hamiltonian or Hilbert space deviates from the desired one. Two important examples we address are spin-coupled quantum dots in the presence of spin-orbit perturbations to the Heisenberg exchange interaction, and off-resonant transitions of a qubit embedded in a multilevel Hilbert space. We propose a "dressed qubit" tra...

Extensive research with animals and humans indicates that rewarded effort contributes to durable individual differences in industriousness. It is proposed that reinforcement for increased physical or cognitive performance, or for the toleration of aversive stimulation, conditions rewards value to the sensation of high effort and thereby reduces effort's aversiveness. The conditioning of seconda...

The immunogenicity and tolerability of hepatitis A virus vaccine was evaluated in a group of 32 children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and 27 children with seroreversion. After 2 doses of vaccine, 100% of children experienced seroconversion with good toleration of the vaccine. There were no differences in variation of virus load between immunized HIV-positive children and a ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies against rapidly evolving viruses (e.g., HIV-1 and influenza virus), often manifest antigen-binding promiscuity. Based on a recent study, we hypothesize the significance of antibody polyreactivity in neutralization viruses. We propose that contributes to toleration viral variants shortens time for generating antibodies.

We consider the problem of coded computing, where a computational task is performed in distributed fashion presence adversarial workers. propose techniques to break toleration threshold barrier previously known computing. More specifically, we leverage list-decoding for folded Reed-Solomon codes and novel algorithms recover correct codeword using side information. In computing setting, show how...
