Differential effects and temporal course of attentional and motivational training on excessive drinking
Background. Two cognitive-motivational variables that help to solidify drinkers’ intentions to drink are their alcohol attentional bias and their maladaptive motivation. Objective. The Alcohol Attention Control Training Programme (AACTP) was designed to rectify the former, and the Life Enhancement and Advancement Programme (LEAP) was designed to rectify the latter. Method. The present study used a factorial design to compare the individual and combined effects of the two interventions on mean weekly drinking and atypical weekly drinking of 148 harmful drinkers (49% males, mean age = 28.8 years). A variety of other cognitivemotivational and demographic measures were also taken at baseline, and the drinking measures were reassessed at post-treatment and 3 and 6 months later. Results. In comparison to LEAP, the effects of AACTP were less enduring. Combining AACTP and LEAP had few incremental benefits. Conclusions. These results suggest that AACTP would be more effective for achieving short-term reductions in drinking, whereas LEAP would be more effective for alleviating problematic drinking

Meeting to Decide MTC Memory Selection Scheme, September 16, 1953
To help settle some of the questions raised by the prospect of having a 4096-register magnetic memory in MTC (See Memorandum M-2361), this meeting of MTC personnel and programmer was arranged. Opinion was heavily in favor of a bank-switching instruction which could include drum fields as banks. Certain other features desirable from a programming standpoint were also brought up
Proof-of-Concept of Real-World Quantum Key Distribution with Quantum Frames
We propose and experimentally investigate a fibre-based quantum key
distribution system, which employs polarization qubits encoded into faint laser
pulses. As a novel feature, it allows sending of classical framing information
via sequences of strong laser pulses that precede the quantum data. This allows
synchronization, sender and receiver identification, and compensation of
time-varying birefringence in the communication channel. In addition, this
method also provides a platform to communicate implementation specific
information such as encoding and protocol in view of future optical quantum
networks. Furthermore, we report on our current effort to develop high-rate
error correction.Comment: 25 pages, 14 figures, 4 table
