There has been much interest in quantum key distribution. Experimentally, quantum key distribution over 150 km of commercial Telecom fibers has been successfully performed. The crucial issue in quantum key distribution is its security. Unfortunately, all recent experiments are, in principle, insecure due to real-life imperfections. Here, we propose a method that can for the first time make most...

OBJECTIVE This study explored how Greek men with spinal cord injury experience sexuality. METHODS Six men with spinal cord injury acted as key informants and data collection consisted of in-depth unstructured interviews, field notes, and a reflective log. The transcribed interviews were analyzed thematically. RESULTS The themes that emerged were: Barriers, Metamorphoses, and Enjoying. Sexua...

Periodically a book is catapulted on the scene that commands the attention of all factions in the creation/ evolution debate. Michael Behe's Darwin's Black Box is just such a text. Behe, professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has breathed new life into the design argument and articulated an innovative critique of Darwinism which is as sure to fluster Darwinians...

Consistent with the clinical focus of this volume, this chapter first acquaints the reader with basic distinctions between the clinical ‘‘brain-behavior’’ disciplines, namely neuropsychology, behavioral neurology, and neuropsychiatry. After describing the most common approaches to neuropsychological evaluation and the goals of neuropsychological evaluation in Parkinson’s disease (PD), the chapt...

Systems biology seeks not only to discover the machinery of life but to understand how such machinery is used for control, i.e., for regulation that achieves or maintains a desired, useful end. This sort of goal-directed, engineering-centered approach also has deep historical roots in developmental biology. Not surprisingly, developmental biology is currently enjoying an influx of ideas and met...

Although SOA was successful for many years, today it has reached its limits due to many reasons including the heavy stack of standards that make difficult the creation of applications instead of simplifying it. Another major drawback is the neglect of the creative potential of the user, not involved in the life cycle of the SOA software. In this paper, we present a solution to enhance SOA, by e...

We address a fundamental problem of complexity theory the inadequacy of worst-case complexity for the task of evaluating the computational resources required for real life problems. While being the best known measure and enjoying the support of a rich and elegant theory, worst-case complexity seems gives rise to over-pessimistic complexity values. Many standard task, that are being carried out ...

The concept of life-stage orientation is proposed. Youth is a period of time characterised by strong feelings and emotions, but weak reasoning and cognitive skill. Conversely, adulthood is characterised by strong rationality, but weak emotionality. Two studies revealed that merely bringing these concepts to mind changes real-time feelings and behaviour. Participants who were instructed to act l...

With or without the pandemic, remote working is new norm for many. Employees are enjoying flexibility that has to offer. Being happy then leads better productivity workers. Employers need learn trust employees more remotely. They be prepared face difficulties come with a “no border’ world as benefits of can than disadvantages. This study explores workplace needs 94 participants responded instru...

It is commonly believed that neutron stars exceeding the maximum mass limit for stability could be formed in aftermath of binary star mergers, enjoying a short life metastability before losing centrifugal support and collapsing to black hole. suggested here similar scenario take place when remnant's excess supported by an ultra-strong $(\gtrsim 10^{17}\,\mbox{G})$ magnetic field generated durin...
