Non-Markovian Quantum Error Deterrence by Dynamical Decoupling in a General Environment [PDF]
A dynamical decoupling scheme for the deterrence of errors in the non-Markovian (usually corresponding to low temperature, short time, and strong coupling) regimes suitable for qubits constructed out of a multilevel structure is studied. We use the effective spin-boson model (ESBM) introduced recently [K. Shiokawa and B. L. Hu, Phys. Rev.

Is Crime Displacement Inevitable? Evidence from Police Crackdowns in Fortaleza, Brazil [PDF]
We evaluated one of the most common policing strategies in Brazil: the allocation of police blitzes. This place-based focused deterrence intervention has well-defined assignments, and 3,423 interventions were precisely recorded in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, between 2012 and 2013.

Search for scalar bottom quarks and third-generation leptoquarks in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV [PDF]
We present the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks ($\tilde b_1$) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks ($LQ_3$) in a data sample of 5.2 $fb^{-1}$ collected by the D0 experiment at the Tevatron, the $p\bar{p}$ collider at Fermilab.

Measurement of the charge asymmetry in dileptonic decays of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector [PDF]
A measurement of the top--antitop ($t\bar{t}$) charge asymmetry is presented using 2011 LHC data collected by the ATLAS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is performed in the dilepton channel, and two different observables are studied: $A^{\ell\ell}_{\mathrm{C}}$, based ...

Zwitterionic Polymer Coatings with Compositional Gradient for Stable and Substrate-Independent Biofouling Deterrence via All-Dry Synthesis [PDF]
Biofouling represents a critical challenge in marine transportation, healthcare, and food manufacturing, among other industries, as it promotes contamination and increases maintenance costs. Zwitterionic polymers, known for their exceptional antifouling properties, offer a promising solution for biofouling deterrence.

Interactions between eagles and semidomestic reindeer: lessons learned from field surveys and deterrents [PDF]
Predation by eagles on semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) is an emerging human wildlife conflict in Fennoscandia. Both the Golden (Aquila chrysaetos) and the White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) are believed by herders to predate on reindeer, however, there is a considerable knowledge gap regarding extent of predation and scavenging by
