Arbitrarily Large Continuous-Variable Cluster States from a Single Quantum Nondemolition Gate

We present a compact experimental design for producing an arbitrarily large optical continuous-variable cluster state using just one single-mode vacuum squeezer and one quantum nondemolition gate. Generating the cluster state and computing with it happen simultaneously: more entangled modes become available as previous modes are measured, thereby making finite the requirements for coherence and stability even as the computation length increases indefinitely.Comment: (v2) 5 pages, 4 color figures, added brief mention of fault tolerance, version accepted for publication (note: actual published version is edited slightly for space); (v1) 4 pages, 4 color figure

Resource Letter TF-1: Turbulence in Fluids

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on fully developed turbulence in fluids. It is restricted to mechanically driven turbulence in an incompressible fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics, and places greatest emphasis on fundamental physical questions. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: The Navier-Stokes equations, qualitative aspects of turbulence, the 1941 Kolmogorov theory, intermittency and small scale structure, time correlations and pressure; with brief mention of two-dimensional turbulence, passive scalars in turbulence, and the turbulent boundary layer,Comment: 38 pages LaTeX, no figures. To appear in American Journal of Physic

Moduli of Reflexive Sheaves on Smooth Projective 3-folds

We compute the expected dimension of the moduli space of torsion-free rank 2 sheaves at a point corresponding to a stable reflexive sheaf and give conditions for the existence of a perfect tangent-obstruction complex on a class of smooth projective threefolds; this class includes Fano and Calabi-Yau threefolds. We also explore both local and global relationships between moduli spaces of reflexive rank 2 sheaves and the Hilbert scheme of curves.Comment: 17 pages. Entire paper rewritten - discusses relationship between moduli spaces of reflexive rank 2 sheaves and the Hilbert scheme of curves; brief mention of Donaldson-Thomas invariant

Trilostane in dogs

Over the last 10 years, trilostane, a competitive inhibitor of steroid synthesis, is being widely used for the treatment of canine hyperadrenocorticism. Trilostane causes a significant but reversible decrease in cortisol production and a concomitant improvement in clinical signs in most dogs with this common condition. Side effects, though infrequent, can be serious: dogs treated with this drug require regular monitoring. This review summarizes current knowledge of the use of this drug with particular emphasis on its efficacy, safety, adverse reactions, and effects on endocrine parameters. Brief mention is made of its other uses in dogs and other species

Planning paradise with the Cheshire Cat: Governance problems under the RMA

Much has been made of compliance costs to business and the need to process consents hastily in relation to the Resource Management Act in New Zealand. This obsession with compliance misses the fundamental problem of implementing the RMA — shortcomings in governance. This address will shed some light on this pervasive problem, first by characterizing RMA within the theoretical range of national mandates, then dealing in turn with governance issues at each level in the intergovernmental hierarchy of partnerships established by RMA and LGA. It concludes with brief mention of long term council community planning, because it too is at risk if governance is not improved

Oral History Interview: Raymond E. Black

This interview is one of a series conducted concerning Lincoln County History. Raymond Black discusses: his family; his father (a local preacher at a Methodist Church) who opened a store called Blacks Brothers Merchandize; his father buying timber for the Armstrong Timber Company; the railroads; farming; individuals such as Jason Pridemore & Ray Gene; buying and trading items such as eggs at the general store; the Island Creek Coal Company; work during the Great Depression; road building; oil drilling; gas wells; different churches and religions (Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, and the Church of Christ); the timber industry; a brief mention of the Amherst Coal Company buying goods; a brief mention of a church revival; and other topics.https://mds.marshall.edu/oral_history/1335/thumbnail.jp
