"War medicine" The Battle for whole blood: 1943-1945 and beyond. [PDF]

open access: yesTransfusion
Abstract This article aims to convey two particular statements of historical value for its readers. Firstly, it seeks to remind everyone with an interest in the history of the United States (US) Blood Program that the use of whole blood in the combat casualty care in this great military campaign was by no means certain.

From preventive eugenics to slippery eugenics: Population control and contemporary sterilisations targeted to indigenous peoples in Mexico

open access: yesSociology of Health &Illness, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 128-144, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Eugenic ideas in Mexico were popularised after the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) as a way of ‘modernising’ and ‘civilising’ the nation. As a result, eugenic ideas were able to linger and be maintained through different departments, institutions, and individuals from all disciplines. After eugenics was considered a pseudoscience, its practices

Care During Pandemic Times: Digital Ethnography with Mental Health Professionals in Equatorial Guinea

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 329-345, December 2022., 2022
SUMMARY This article discusses how the COVID‐19 pandemic impacted my anthropological research inquiry of care among mental health professionals at a community shelter and a psychiatric hospital in Equatorial Guinea. The rapidly evolving changes required the methods of digital anthropology, which allowed an understanding of embodiments of care.

A Robust Quantum Random Access Memory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review A 86, 010306(R) (2012), 2012
A "bucket brigade" architecture for a quantum random memory of $N=2^n$ memory cells needs $n(n+5)/2$ times of quantum manipulation on control circuit nodes per memory call. Here we propose a scheme, in which only average $n/2$ times manipulation is required to accomplish a memory call.

Quantum random access memory via quantum walk [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Sci. Technol. 6 (2021) 035004, 2020
A novel concept of quantum random access memory (qRAM) employing a quantum walk is provided. Our qRAM relies on a bucket brigade scheme to access the memory cells. Introducing a bucket with chirality left and right as a quantum walker, and considering its quantum motion on a full binary tree, we can efficiently deliver the bucket to the designated ...

Hardware-Efficient Quantum Random Access Memory Design with a Native Gate Set on Superconducting Platforms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) is a critical component for enabling data queries in superposition, which is the cornerstone of quantum algorithms. Among various QRAM architectures, the bucket-brigade model stands out due to its noise resilience. This paper presents a hardware-efficient native gate set {iSCZ, C-iSCZ} for implementing bucket-brigade

Challenging the economic reform paradigm: policy and politics in the early 1980s collapse of the rural cooperative medical system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Over the last two decades an economic reform paradigm has dominated social security and health research: economic reform policies have defined its parameters, established its premises, generated its questions and even furnished its answers.
