(2013-09-19)Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and alpha spectroscopy were used to measure Plutonium (Pu) concentrations in soil samples from the Savannah River Site (SRS) and Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, the latter ...
-
Public Law 280 was a piece of legislation that dramatically altered the landscape of federal Indian jurisdiction. In order for its legal implications to be made clear, I will first define the general context of federal ...
-
(2011-05-04)Rotavirus (RV) is a viral pathogen that infects everyone worldwide. It initially infects the enterocytes of the small intestine causing severe diarrhea in affected patients, primarily the young. RV nonstructural protein 4 ...
-
Recently, the rapid pace at which bacteria can successfully evade antibiotics has alarmed public health officials, since they could render even our most powerful antibiotics useless. With this in mind, it is evident to see ...
-
(2013-09-24)This paper is an effort to determine the purposes of party manifestos (aka platforms), and more specifically how a party’s experience in governance determines the strategies they pursue, through the structure of their ...

We investigate non-random quantum channels generated from the representation the- ory of orthogonal quantum groups to perform numerical computations for estimates of their minimum output entropies. In doing so, we address ...
-
The basic unit of information within quantum mechanics can be modeled through two-level systems to provide a foundational understanding of quantum information theory. These quantum systems, which can be represented by ...
