Respecting all the evidence

All the evidence

Forensic science has recently gained a high profile worldwide, owing in part to publicity surrounding criminal cases in which advanced methods have been used to determine guilt or innocence, sometimes even overturning previous verdicts. In particular, advances in DNA sampling and testing have spawned powerful methods that police investigators increasingly rely on in serious crime cases. As DNA ...

Bound on tri-partite Hardy's nonlocality respecting all bi-partite principles

Recently, Gallego et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 210403 (2011)] proved that any future information principle aiming at distinguishing between quantum and postquantum correlation must be intrinsically multipartite in nature. We establish similar results by using the device-independent success probability of Hardy?s nonlocality argument for tripartite quantum systems. We construct an example of a ...

Scalable Action Respecting Embedding

ARE is a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique for embedding observation trajectories, which captures state dynamics that traditional methods do not. The core of ARE is a semidefinite optimization with constraints requiring actions to be distance-preserving in the resulting embedding. Unfortunately, these constraints are quadratic in number and non-local (making recent scaling tricks in...

Some Practical Points Respecting the Malaria-Parasite

Some Practical Points Respecting the Malarial Parasite

that the time is fast approaching when the parasite of malaria will be studied in India much more generally than it is at present. Putting aside the intrinsic interest of the subject, we must boldly face the fact that, though examination of the blood is not necessary in all cases of fever, a thorough knowledge of the parasite is as essential to the correct practice of tropical medicine as it ce...
