Coexistence of qubit effects
Two quantum events, represented by positive operators (effects), are coexistent if they can occur as possible outcomes in a single measurement scheme. Equivalently, the corresponding effects are coexistent if and only if they are contained in the ranges of a single (joint) observable. Here we give several equivalent characterizations of coexistent pairs of qubit effects. We also establish the equivalence between our results and those obtained independently by other authors. Our approach makes explicit use of the Minkowski space geometry inherent in the four-dimensional real vector space of selfadjoint operators in a two-dimensional complex Hilbert space

Advance particle and Doppler measurement methods
Particle environments, i.e., rain, ice, and snow particles are discussed. Two types of particles addressed are: (1) the natural environment in which airplanes fly and conduct test flights; and (2) simulation environments that are encountered in ground-test facilities such as wind tunnels, ranges, etc. There are characteristics of the natural environment that one wishes to measure. The liquid water content (LWC) is the one that seems to be of most importance; size distribution may be of importance in some applications. Like snow, the shape of the particle may be an important parameter to measure. As one goes on to environment in simulated tests, additional parameters may be required such as velocity distribution, the velocity lag of the particle relative to the aerodynamic flow, and the trajectory of the particle as it goes through the aerodynamic flow and impacts on the test object
Transforming evidence: A discursive evaluation of narrative therapy case studies
A recent shift in American Psychological Association policy for what constitutes as
evidence in psychotherapy has resulted in the inclusion of qualitative methodologies.
Narrative therapy is a discursive therapy that is theoretically incongruent with the
prevailing gold standard of experimental methodology in psychotherapy outcome
evaluation. By using a discursive evaluation methodology that is congruent with
narrative therapy this study of six peer-reviewed narrative therapy case articles found
shifts in client positioning in the transformation from medical pathology discourses to
strength-based discourses. It is concluded that five out of six case studies coherently
demonstrated the effectiveness of narrative therapy with positive outcomes for clients
and that a discursive evaluation has utility in producing a thick description of
therapeutic outcome
