Emergence of atom-light-mirror entanglement inside an optical cavity
We propose a scheme for the realization of a hybrid, strongly
quantum-correlated system formed of an atomic ensemble surrounded by a
high-finesse optical cavity with a vibrating mirror. We show that the steady
state of the system shows tripartite and bipartite continuous variable
entanglement in experimentally accessible parameter regimes, which is robust
against temperature
Explaining the Allocation of Bilateral and Multilateral Environmental Aid to Developing Countries
In this paper we examine how international development assistance for environmental purposes is allocated to developing countries. In particular, we investigate whether there are patterned differences between environmental aid for international public goods projects versus environmental projects having more localized impacts. We empirically investigate these questions using project project level development assistance data.International Development,

Review of the Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self â Not Just Your âGoodâ Self â Drives Success and Fulfillment, by Todd Kashdan and Robert Biswas-Diener
The Upside of Your Dark Side is the result of collaboration between Todd Kashdan, a research powerhouse and vocal critic from within the positive psychology movement, and Robert Biswas-Diener, an accomplished author, coach, consultant, and researcher in his own right. The resulting product gives readers the best of both authorsâ strengths: outstanding empirical rigor, vibrant writing, and groundbreaking ideas. The central thesis of Upside is to turn on its head the common wisdom that negative emotions are bad and should be avoided; they show how in moderation, in the right situations, three key negative emotions (anger, guilt, and anxiety) can be tremendously beneficial. They also argue that happiness and mindfulness, two constructs often thought to be universally beneficial, are not all good. They close with the proposition that a person who avoids negativity misses out on the benefits of being âwholeâ â a person who experiences both positive and negative emotions and harnesses each to their full potential
