The topics of the paper are: a) Some anti-linear maps governing EPR tasks if no reference bases are distinguished. b) Imperfect quantum teleportation and the composition rule. The ancilla is supposed pure but otherwise arbitrary. c) Quantum teleportation with distributed measurements. d) Remarks on EPR with a mixed state, triggered by a Lüders measurement.

the fish assemblage and diversity in relation to water quality of three coastal rivers sita, swarna and varahi of udupi district, karnataka, india was studied. 71 species representing 7 orders, 20 families and 41 genera were recorded from 21 sites along the three rivers. species composition varied longitudinally in relation to the environmental factors of the habitat. the downstream change in t...

The present review of Michelia champaca L. includes its traditional uses, pharmacological activities and presence of various phytochemicals. The essential oil obtained from the flowers has useful application in perfumery and pharmaceutical industries. The plant is traditionally used for the treatment of fever, colic, leprosy and for curing cough and rheumatism. Bark is stimulant, diuretic and u...

Mitochondria deteriorate during the aging process, but the underlying mechanisms for the decline of this critical organelle are unknown. A new study indicates that in yeast an age-dependent reduction in vacuolar acidification leads to mitochondrial dysfunction through a surprising mechanism: loss of vacuolar neutral amino acid transport.

1190 Centrioles are among the simplest structures within the eukaryotic cell, but they play a surprisingly complex set of roles. They are composed of nine parallel protein rods, which form ribbed, hollow tubes with more than a passing resemblance to microscopic rigatoni. In pairs, centrioles form the heart of the centrosome, which hovers near the nucleus and coordinates chromosome division duri...

Sure, these are of ten the whiz kids who dazzle judges and win big awards. But it could be you as well. And the benef its f rom sticking with some research theme f or a year or more go well beyond gaining the knowledge to potentially wow teachers and science f air judges. Teens who carry out long-term research projects also gain a lif e lesson in curiosity, discipline and resilience. These are ...

the term ‘Cartesian’ has suffered the same fate in certain circles (see below, n.3). 2 John Foster offers a discussion of a priori objections to dualistic psychophysical causation in Foster [1991], pp 158–185. He goes on (pp 185–201) to discuss causal closure and causal overdetermination as if they constituted empirical objections; as I argue below, I disagree with his categorisation, while acc...

A newly described and dramatic visual illusion suggests that the retinal image is decomposed by the brain into overlapping layers, not into contiguous frameworks of illumination.

Despite the fact that epistemic connectives are sometimes interpreted in concrete structures defined by means ofruns and clock time functions, one of the things which strikes one when studying multiagent logics is how abstracttheir semantics are. Contrasting this fact is the fact that real agents like robots in everyday life and virtual charactersin video games have strong links wit...
