Non-Markovian Quantum Error Deterrence by Dynamical Decoupling in a General Environment [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
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]

arXiv
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]

PoS ICHEP2010 (2010) 418, 2012
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.

The Blaming Function of Entity Criminal Liability [PDF]

, 2006
Application of the doctrine of entity criminal liability, which had only a thin tort-like rationale at inception, now sometimes instantiates a social practice of blaming institutions.

Zwitterionic Polymer Coatings with Compositional Gradient for Stable and Substrate-Independent Biofouling Deterrence via All-Dry Synthesis [PDF]

arXiv
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.

Expanding Cartel Fines Beyond Deterrence: a psychological perspective

The primary strategy that is used to fight illegal business cartels is one of general deterrence. In practice this means that authorities investigate and sanction cartels to show other business executives that it does not pay to form a cartel. The fines are meant to confer the severity of the fines and the risk of getting caught. However, this approach

Interactions between eagles and semidomestic reindeer: lessons learned from field surveys and deterrents [PDF]

arXiv
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
