In this paper we describe some first steps for bringing the framework of branching space-times to bear on quantum information theory. Our main application is quantum error correction. It is shown that branching spacetimes offers a new perspective on quantum error correction: as a supplement to the orthodox slogan, “fight entanglement with entanglement”, we offer the new slogan, “fight indetermi...

This paper presents the view that artificial intelligence (AI) is primarily concerned with propositional languages for representing knowledge and with techniques for manipulating these representations. In this respect, AI is analogous to applied mathematics; its representations and techniques can be applied in a variety of other subject areas. Typically, AI research (or should be) more concerne...

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) The Real Cost campaign advertisements (ads) have targeted U.S. youth with messages designed to prevent and reduce tobacco use. This study examined exposure to The Real Cost campaign, including ad and slogan recall, and associations with attitudes and risk perceptions among U.S. adolescents. We analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of adol...

So, what is ‘One Health’? How does this concept help us think through, and perhaps solve, public health problems? One Health places disease, particularly infection, in a broad ecological context. Many agents of infection target hosts beyond humans, and One Health seeks to understand and explain the public health implications of broad host ranges. OneHealth is a modern restatement of the old epi...
