In a recent PRL (2013, 111, 180604), we invoked the Shore and Johnson axioms which demonstrate that the least-biased way to infer probability distributions {pi} from data is to maximize the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. We then showed which biases are introduced in models obtained by maximizing nonadditive entropies. A rebuttal of our work appears in entropy (2015, 17, 2853) and argues that the Shor...

In a recent publication [PRL 111, 160405 (2013)] we proved a version of Heisenberg’s errordisturbance tradeoff. This result was in apparent contradiction to claims by Ozawa of having refuted these ideas of Heisenberg. In a direct reaction [arXiv:1308.3540] Ozawa has called our work groundless, and has claimed to have found both a counterexample and an error in our proof. Here we answer to these...

This commentary explores the implications of increased social media marketing by drug manufacturers, based on findings in Hyosun Kim’s article of the major themes in recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning letters and notices of violation regarding online direct-to-consumer promotions of pharmaceuticals. Kim’s rigorous analysis of FDA letters over a 10-year span highlights a relative ...

With the requirement to better quantify greenhouse gases, establishing TCCON stations in remote environments will be necessary. This paper discusses the problems encountered while operating a TCCON station on Ascension Island, probably the most remote and rough environments in the world for a TCCON instrument at the moment. One of the main components of a TCCON instrument is the solar tracker, ...
