Entanglement and Collective Quantum Operations
We show how shared entanglement, together with classical communication and
local quantum operations, can be used to perform an arbitrary collective
quantum operation upon N spatially-separated qubits. A simple
teleportation-based protocol for achieving this, which requires 2(N-1) ebits of
shared, bipartite entanglement and 4(N-1) classical bits, is proposed. In terms
of the total required entanglement, this protocol is shown to be optimal for
even N in both the asymptotic limit and for `one-shot' applications

The Compass: Your Guide to Social Impact Measurement
The Compass is your guide created by Centre for Social Impact to navigating social outcomes and impact measurement. This guide is for everyone working towards the creation of positive social impact in Australia and who wants to know if they are making a difference. The Compass explores and explains key topics, concepts, questions and principles of outcomes measurement
Amalgams of inverse semigroups and reversible two-counter machines
We show that the word problem for an amalgam
of inverse semigroups may be undecidable even if we assume and (and
therefore ) to have finite -classes and to
be computable functions, interrupting a series of positive decidability results
on the subject. This is achieved by encoding into an appropriate amalgam of
inverse semigroups 2-counter machines with sufficient universality, and
relating the nature of certain \sch graphs to sequences of computations in the
machine
The impact of organic livestock standards on animal welfare – a questionnaire survey of advisors, inspectors and veterinarians
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. A questionnaire survey of organic sector body inspectors, organic advisors and farm animal veterinarians was conducted to examine the respondents’ perceptions of the ability of the organic standards to deliver positive impacts on welfare of organic livestock. A total of 44 separate standards concerning livestock production were extracted from the United Kingdom Register of Organic Food Production livestock production standards. The respondents were asked to consider the potential impact of each standard on animal welfare in comparison to the routine practices used on conventional farms, using a five-point scale (improve significantly, improve slightly, no impact, deteriorate slightly and deteriorate significantly). A simple scoring system was used to rank the different standards in terms of their perceived positive impact on animal welfare. The significance of differences between respondent groups and livestock species were examined. Preliminary findings of the survey are summarised and the usefulness of the approach to evaluate livestock production standards is discussed
Verbal farm rental agreements under Missouri law (1990)
Two parties, a landowner and a tenant, discuss a rental farm, the method of sharing expenses and receipts, and shake hands. They've made a verbal rental agreement. Many agricultural leases are formed this way. Unfortunately, informal verbal leases do not cover the problems and possible conflicts that may arise under leases. It is important for landowners and prospective tenants to know the laws that control verbal and written agreements.Reprinted 8190/5M
