Creativity, the muse of innovation : how art and design pedagogy can further entrepreneurship
This paper discusses how art and design pedagogy can further entrepreneurship in societal, economic and educational contexts, so that students may thrive in a world full of complexity and flux, empowered to create sustainable futures of their own making for themselves and their communities. The author touches on some of the methodologies inherent in art and design pedagogy for teaching creativity and innovation and provides a broader overview of how the values and attitudes inherent in this pedagogy can further the current concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship and their societal and economic contexts. The paper highlights how the values, attributes and attitudes associated with art and design pedagogy translate into the economic focus of most current entrepreneurship thinking
Multipartite Classical and Quantum Secrecy Monotones
In order to study multipartite quantum cryptography, we introduce quantities
which vanish on product probability distributions, and which can only decrease
if the parties carry out local operations or carry out public classical
communication. These ``secrecy monotones'' therefore measure how much secret
correlations are shared by the parties. In the bipartite case we show that the
mutual information is a secrecy monotone. In the multipartite case we describe
two different generalisations of the mutual information, both of which are
secrecy monotones. The existence of two distinct secrecy monotones allows us to
show that in multipartite quantum cryptography the parties must make
irreversible choices about which multipartite correlations they want to obtain.
Secrecy monotones can be extended to the quantum domain and are then defined on
density matrices. We illustrate this generalisation by considering tri-partite
quantum cryptography based on the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state. We
show that before carrying out measurements on the state, the parties must make
an irreversible decision about what probability distribution they want to
obtain
Acceptance of candidate baits by domestic dogs for delivery of oral rabies vaccines
Protocols for evaluating oral rabies vaccine baits for domestic dogs were field tested in central Mexico,
after which dog-food manufacturers and suppliers to the pet-food industry were advised as to potential
ingredients for use in prototype dog baits. Bait-preference trials in which confined dogs were used were
then undertaken, followed by field tests of free-ranging farmer-owned dogs in three towns in the Nile
River Delta region of Egypt. Both confined and free-ranging dogs showed strong preferences for certain
baits or bait coatings (poultry, beef tallow, cheese, egg and a proprietary product). Fish-meal polymer
baits, widely used for wildlife species, were less preferred. In Egypt, a commercial dog-food-meal
bait coated with beef tallow and dry cheese was consumed at a rate approaching that of a chicken-head
bait.
The percentage baits that were actually eaten after they had been offered to dogs, ranged from
71-96% for household dogs tested in Mexico, 65-91% for confined dogs (beagles and mixed breeds)
tested in the United States, and 32-88% for farmer-owned dogs tested in Egypt.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

Nucleon resonances in the fourth resonance region
Nucleon and resonances in the fourth resonance region are studied in
a multichannel partial-wave analysis which includes nearly all available data
on pion- and photo-induced reactions off protons. In the high-mass range, above
1850\,MeV, several alternative solutions yield a good description of the data.
For these solutions, masses, widths, pole residues and photo-couplings are
given. In particular, we find evidence for nucleon resonances with
spin-parities . For one set of solutions, there are four
resonances forming naturally a spin-quartet of resonances with orbital angular
momentum L=2 and spin S=3/2 coupling to . Just below 1.9\,GeV we
find a spin doublet of resonances with and . Since a spin
partner with is missing at this mass, the two resonances form a
spin doublet which must have a symmetric orbital-angular-momentum wave function
with L=1. For another set of solutions, the four positive-parity resonances are
accompanied by mass-degenerate negative-parity partners -- as suggested by the
conjecture of chiral symmetry restoration. The possibility of a spin doublet at 1900\,MeV belonging to a 20-plet is discussed.Comment: 16 page
Properties of baryon resonances from a multichannel partial wave analysis
Properties of nucleon and resonances are derived from a multichannel
partial wave analysis. The statistical significance of pion and photo-induced
inelastic reactions off protons are studied in a multichannel partial-wave
analysis.Comment: 12 pages, 8 Table

Measurement of the cross section for isolated-photon plus jet production in pp collisions at âs=13 TeV using the ATLAS detector
The dynamics of isolated-photon production in association with a jet in protonâproton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fbâ1. Photons are required to have transverse energies above 125 GeV. Jets are identified using the anti- algorithm with radius parameter and required to have transverse momenta above 100 GeV. Measurements of isolated-photon plus jet cross sections are presented as functions of the leading-photon transverse energy, the leading-jet transverse momentum, the azimuthal angular separation between the photon and the jet, the photonâjet invariant mass and the scattering angle in the photonâjet centre-of-mass system. Tree-level plus parton-shower predictions from Sherpa and Pythia as well as next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from Jetphox and Sherpa are compared to the measurements
