Exploring Imprecise Probabilities in Quantum Algorithms with Possibility Theory
ABSTRACT Quantum computing utilizes the underlying principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations with unmatched performance capabilities. Rather than using classical bits, it operates on qubits, which can exist in superposition and entangled states. This enables the solution of problems that are considered intractable for classical computers.

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Anaemic Streams: Iron and Essential Trace Metals Frequently Limit Primary Producer Biomass
Nutrient enrichment experiments in 41 streams across the eastern United States demonstrate that trace metals can limit the growth of primary producers. Trace metals are frequently co‐limiting with macronutrients and the availability of N and P in streams and watersheds are predictive of Fe and Zn limitation status.

Functionaries: A Distributional Approach to Institutional Analysis
ABSTRACT This paper outlines a distributional approach to institutional analysis, reconceptualising institutions as distributions of knowledge and activity across people. We argue that institutionalisation and institutional change are best understood by focussing on actors with the requisite knowledge and motivation to keep institutional patterns going,
