Topological qubits as carriers of quantum information in optics
No full text© 2019 by the authors. Winding number is a topologically significant quantity that has found valuable applications in various areas of mathematical physics. Here, topological qubits are shown capable of formation from winding number superpositions and so of being used in the communication of quantum information in linear optical systems, the most common realm for quantum communication. In particular, it is shown that winding number qubits appear in several aspects of such systems, including quantum electromagnetic states of spin, momentum, orbital angular momentum, polarization of beams of particles propagating in free-space, optical fiber, beam splitters, and optical multiports

Frank Angier Ames
No full textFrank Angier Ames, son of Frank Morton and Catherine Hayward (Copeland) Ames, born in North Easton, Mass., July 11, 1858; died unm. in Boston, November 5, 1918. He was the manager of the Ames Southside Plantation, Louisiana Parish, Louisiana. He, along with his cousin, O.F. Ames, were in charge of the Westwego plantation when the then famous Ames Crevasse opened on March 16, 1891, at the location of a faulty sluice for the irrigation of the Ames rice fields. Sightseeing boats came to see the water rushing through the break, the sound coming to the ear like the mighty rumble of a gigantic cataract. At the time of the crevasse, the river was within one foot of the top of the locks of the company\u27s canal. The water inside the locks was 12 feet lower than the river\u27s stage. The flood spread over vast areas, ruining plantations and truck farms.https://soar.stonehill.edu/frankmortonamesalbum/1043/thumbnail.jp

Analyzing Somali Piracy Prosecutions
No full text•From 2001-2010 the number of piracy incidents spiked. Somali piracy differs from other forms of piracy because it has a distinct modus operandi. Whereas most piracy is theft, Somali attacks focus primarily on capturing vessels and holding them for ransom. •The vessel attacks occur primarily in the high seas, outside the territorial jurisdiction of any one nation. Therefore, Somali piracy cases have been heard in various courts around the world. Many cases have been prosecuted in Kenya, Seychelles, the Netherlands, as well as many other countries around the world. •This analysis examines the nature of these prosecutions, and whether there are any notable variances in the prosecutions in different jurisdictions. •Utilizing domestic and international databases (UNODC, Sherloc, EUROJUST), we acquired original court documents from prosecutions of Somali pirates
Monitoring Biodiversity using Aquatic Environmental DNA and Nanopore Sequencing
No full textThis project aimed to detect wetland organismal diversity on the Stonehill College campus by sequencing free aquatic eDNA collected from water samples in the seasonal wetland behind O’Hara Hall and Shields Science Center. The Oxford Nanopore MinION DNA sequencer offered real-time data collection at a relatively low cost and demonstrated an “in-the-field” workflow. DNA was extracted from water samples collected using a pump-filter collection apparatus. Protocols for Nanopore sequencing were established and surveys plan to be conducted in order to measure standing plant diversity around the sampling locations. Plant reads from each sample yielded plants primarily from the Brassica, Callitriche, and Potamogeton genus which are consistent in the species found near the sampling areas
Another temple, another vessel josephus, the arch of titus, and roman triumphal propaganda
No full text© 2019, University of Chicago Press. All rights reserved. In 71 CE, the year after the destruction of the second Jerusalem temple, the victorious emperor Vespasian and his son Titus, commander of the Judean campaign, celebrated their success with a victory triumph through the streets of Rome. Josephus provides a full account of the event in The Jewish War 7.123–58, lingering in particular on his description of the spoils of the Temple as they were paraded through the streets. He states: “The spoils were piled in heaps, but prominent above all were the spoils from the temple in Jerusalem, these included a golden table many talents in weight and a lampstand likewise made of gold” (JW 7.148)
