Flaws in the Concept of Nuclear Deterrance
Cadmus, 2012 The concept of nuclear deterrence is seriously flawed, and it violates the fundamental ethical principles of all major religions. Besides being morally unacceptable, nuclear weapons are also illegal according to a historic 1996 decision of the ...

Who's Driving? Game Theoretic Path Risk of AGI Development [PDF]
arXivWho controls the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might matter less than how we handle the fight for control itself. We formalize this "steering wheel problem" as humanity's greatest near-term existential risk may stem not from misaligned AGI, but from the dynamics of competing to develop it.

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.

Forward Defence, Hamas‐Hezbollah War With Israel and Iran's Path to Nuclear Bombs
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the wake of the Hamas–Hezbollah war with Israel following the 7 October 2023, the Iran–Israel shadow war escalated into direct military conflict. While addressing the characteristics of Iran's deterrence strategy, the present contribution argues that in case of escalation in the Middle East region, the so‐called ‘forward defence’ doctrine ...

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.

Aging Cell, EarlyView.Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with senescence, the latter proving detrimental to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)‐based strategies. We induced the expression of nuclear respiratory factor‐1 (NRF1), a driver of mitochondrial biogenesis, to metabolically potentiate MSCs and stave off senescence.

Measurement of the charge asymmetry in dileptonic decays of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 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 ...

Counternarratives of COVID‐19: Girls' stories of disrupted schooling in Malawi
Anthropology &Education Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article challenges mainstream discourses of girls' education during COVID‐19 that sexualize girls in the Global South and reproduce racialized differences. We draw on a longitudinal cohort study of Malawian young women conducted from 2020 to 2023 to offer counternarratives of the intersecting risks to school retention.
