Quantum logic gates are the crucial information-processing operation of quantumcomputers. Two crucial performance metrics for logic gates are their precision andspeed. Quantum processors based on trapped ions have always been the touchstonefor gate precision, but have suffered from slow speed relative to other quantum logicplatforms such as solid state systems. This thesis shows that it is possible to acceleratethe logic "clock speed" from kHz to MHz speeds, whilst maintaining a precision of99.8%. This is almost as high as the world record for conventional trapped-ion gates,but more than 20 times faster. It also demonstrates entanglement generation in atime (480ns) shorter than the natural timescale of the ions' motion in the trap, whichstarts to probe an interesting new regime of ion trap physics. In separate experiments, some of the first "mixed-species" quantum logic gates areperformed, both between two different elements, and between different isotopes.The mixed-isotope gate is used to make the first test of the quantum-mechanical Bellinequality between two different species of isolated atoms.

We are born with our hearts and arms open wide-trusting, confident, and brimming with vibrant life energy. Over time, though, the challenges of life constrain that flow, leaving us unbalanced. We often find ourselves stuck in inertia, exhausted by overdoing, or strained and preoccupied with trying to control everything. Roaming Free Inside the Cage will help you identify your unique pattern of imbalance and reclaim your inborn freedom so that you can move forward with clarity of vision, confidence in your own power, and composure in the face of life's adversities. "There is much to digest and absorb here, principles and practices, history, symbolism, and poetic expression. This work requires only the caution that, as in much that is written about the Enneagram, we are dealing with subjective internal experience rather than objective external measurement. This is a book on experience of, rather than knowledge about. Come to it with a willingness to use the principles of optimal learning, be receptive and grounded in order to open your heart and mind with curiosity, and have the expectation of benefit. Then you will indeed benefit greatly from this fundamental, deep and penetrating work on the Enneagram and the Dao." -David Daniels, M.D., September 2009, Clinical Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Stanford Medical School

This book examines how beliefs shape leaders' perceptions of reality and lead to cognitive and motivated biases that distort, block, and recast incoming information from the environment. Using content analysis and formal modeling methods associated with quantitative operational code analysis, contributors analyze how beliefs affect policies related to international security and international political economy.

The use of drugs as remedies for various types of diseases has a long tradition; however, it has only been recently recognized that the value of any given compound must be evaluated in light of its benefit to risk ratio. When prescribing drugs, physicians must look at the big picture of the drug's benefits in relation to its side effects and possible toxicity. The aim of this handbook is to compile data from various authors, providing clinicians with data that will optimize their decision making in selecting effective, low-risk drug treatments. It also provides research workers, including physicians, pharmacists, and basic scientists, with a sound basis for increasing knowledge of the risk/benefit ratios of various drugs. Includes detailed assessments of the following types of drugs: Antihypertensive agents Diuretics Anti-diabetic drugs Anticonvulsant drugs Drugs for Parkinson's disease Antihistamines and antiserotonins Cytokines and immunomodulators Non-opioid analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents Antibacterial agents Antiviral agents Drugs used in reproductive endocrinology Systemic drugs for skin diseases Topical liposome drugs Topical glucocorticoids

The art of transforming a circuit idea into a chip has changed permanently. Formerly, the electrical, physical and geometrical tasks were predominant. Later, mainly net lists of gates had to be constructed. Nowadays, hardware description languages (HDL) similar to programming languages are central to digital circuit design. HDL-based design is the main subject of this book. After emphasizing the economic importance of chip design as a key technology, the book deals with VLSI design (Very Large Scale Integration), the design of modern RISC processors, the hardware description language VERILOG, and typical modeling techniques. Numerous examples as well as a VERILOG training simulator are included on a disk.

Dieses Buch wendet sich vor allem an Arzte in Klinik und Praxis, aber auch an fortgeschrittene Medizinstudenten, die einen Uberblick uber das Themengebiet Schmerz und vor allem die medikamentose Schmerztherapie gewinnen wollen. Namhafte Experten haben das komplexe Werk aus drei Blickrichtungen bearbeitet:
- Pathophysiologie des Schmerzes
- Pharmakologie der Analgetika sowie anderer eingesetzter Pharmaka
- Praktischer klinischer Teil mit Kasuistiken.
Ein Glossar mit wichtigen Begriffen zur Schmerztherapie, eine Liste von Wirkstoffen und Handelsnamen sowie Hinweise auf weiterfuhrende Literatur und eine Liste nutzlicher Adressen vervollstandigen das Buch."

Focusing on how policy makers make decisions in foreign policy, this book examines how beliefs are causal mechanisms which steer decisions, shape leaders and perceptions of reality, and lead to cognitive and motivated biases that distort, block and recast incoming information from the environment.

Dieses Buch stellt ein Risiko dar, zu dem sich Heraus- geber und Mitarbeiter nur schwer entschlossen haben: Es kann den Studenten zum "falschen" Lernen verleiten. Bekanntlich ist die medizinische Ausbildung durch die Approbationsordnung mehr prufungsbezogen geworden, und zwar in dem spezifischen Sinne der schriftlichen Prufun- gen nach dem Multiple-Choice-System: zu lernen ist, was in diese Frage-Antwort-Formulierungen gefasst werden kann, namlich hauptsachlich leicht abfragbares Einzelwissen. Wissenschaftliche Zusammenhange und praxisnahe Kenntnis- se sind in diesen Prufungen kaum gefragt, wohl aber wer- den sie am Ende des Studiums in der letzten und zugleich einzigen mundlichen Prufung gefordert. Dass viele Studen- ten in dieser Prufung grosse Schwierigkeiten haben, unter- streicht die Problematik der Ausbildungs- und Prufungs- bestimmungen. Angesichts dieser Ausbildungsbedingungen ist das Unbeha- gen bei Lernenden wie Lehrenden gleich gross. Die Ausbil- dung verlauft sozusagen zweigleisig: einerseits techni- siertes Lernen fur die unumganglichen Prufungen, anderer- seits das Bemuhen um fachlich fundierte und praxisnahe Kenntnisse fur den Beruf. Jeder weiss, wie schwer beides miteinander zu vereinbaren ist, zumal sich die Lerninhal- te des einen und des anderen Vergehens nur wenig decken.
