Do Not Advertise: The Current Fight Against Unsolicited Advertisements

Have you ever received a phone call from a telemarketer during dinner? Do e-mails entitled Protect Your Computer Against Viruses for $9.95 or GET A FREE PASS TO THOUSANDS OF XXX SITES annoy you? Are you tired of watching advertisements that continue after the posted start time for a movie? Many Americans are irritated with the amount of daily interruptions caused by the current lack of advertising regulations. In some instances, the advertisers shift their marketing costs to unwilling e-mail users or moviegoers. This article focuses on unsolicited communications and potential solutions to the seemingly endless problem of spam

Virtual Child Pornography on the Internet: A “Virtual” Victim?

Child pornography is an exception to First Amendment freedoms because it exploits and abuses our nation\u27s youth. The latest trend in that industry is virtual child pornography. Virtual child pornography does not use real children or images of real identifiable children. When the object of desire is not a child, but merely a combination of millions of computer pixels crafted by a skilled artist, can the government ban this allegedly victimless creation

Rashba-coupling modelling for two-dimensional and high-order Rashba Hamiltonian for one-dimensional confined heavy holes

Based on standard k.p (8 x 8) multiband Hamiltonian, we have deduced an explicit analytical expression for the Rashba-coupling parameter which clarifies its anomalous behavior for heavy holes (hh), gated in quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) systems, by letting grow the density. Our modelling remarkable better agrees with experimental results in comparison with earlier theoretical models, while recovers the expected cubic dependence on the quasi-momentum. For quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) hh systems, we have formally derived an effective Rashba Hamiltonian with two competitive terms on the quasi-momentum, a linear term and a cubic one as predicted from suitable approximations to the Q2D scope. The Rashba-coupling parameters also behave anomalously and qualitatively support recent experiments in core/shell nanowires. Furthermore, they exhibit an essential asymptotic discontinuity in the low density regime as a function of the lateral confinement length. For hh, we present closed schemes to accurately quote the Rashba-coupling parameters both for the Q2D and Q1D systems, which become unprecedented for holes.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
