the meatiest bodies. These are the high-producing animals that have the most endemic welfare problems anyway.

Of course, since many people just think cloning sounds gross, one easy way out is to label meat as cloned or not cloned. The FDA said it wouldn't prevent companies from marketing their meat as clo...

Chopped random-basis quantum optimization

In this work, we describe in detail the chopped random basis (CRAB) optimal control technique recently introduced to optimize time-dependent density matrix renormalization group simulations [P. Doria, T. Calarco, and S. Montangero, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 190501 (2011)]. Here, we study the efficiency of this control technique in optimizing different quantum processes and we show that in the consi...

All HEPped Up about Methylation

Persons All the Way Up

MY first personal encounter with Joseph Vining—personal in the faceto-face sense—occurred some years ago when I spent a semester at the University of Michigan. Joe and I were in some respects from quite different worlds, but we seemed to have converging concerns, interests, and questions, and so we began to meet regularly for lunch and conversation. We talked about law, and life, and faith—for ...
