Mamardashvili, an Observer of the Totality. About “Symbol and Consciousness”, and the cross between East and West, infinity and finiteness. . .

description: The paper discusses a few tensions “crucifying” the works and even personality of the great Georgian philosopher Merab Mamardashvili: East and West; human being andthought, symbol and consciousness, infinity and finiteness, similarity and differences. The observer can be involved as the correlative counterpart of the totality: An observer opposed to the totality externalizes an internal part outside. Thus the phenomena of an observer and the totality turn out to converge to each other or to be one and the same. In other words, the phenomenon of an observer includes the singularity of the solipsistic Self, which (or “who”) is the same as that of the totality. Furthermore, observation can be thought as that primary and initial action underlain by the phenomenon of an observer. That action of observationconsists in the externalization of the solipsistic Self outside as some external reality. It is both a zero action and the singularity of the phenomenon of action. The main conclusions are: Mamardashvili’s philosophy can be thought both as the suffering effort to be a human being again and again as well as the philosophical reflection on the genesis of thought from itself by the same effort. Thus it can be recognized as a powerful tension between signs anаsymbol, between conscious structures and consciousness, between the syncretism of the East and the discursiveness of the West crucifying spiritually Georgia.

description: Thermalization of isolated quantum systems is a long-standing fundamental problem where different mechanisms are proposed over time. We contribute to this discussion by classifying the diverse quench dynamical behaviours of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates, which includes well-defined quantum collapse and revivals, thermalization, and certain special cases. These special cases are either nonthermal equilibration with no revival but a collapse even though the system has finite degrees of freedom or no equilibration with no collapse and revival. Given that some integrable systems are already shown to demonstrate the weak form of eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), we determine the regions where ETH holds and fails in this integrable isolated quantum system. The reason behind both thermalizing and nonthermalizing behaviours in the same model under different initial conditions is linked to the discussion of `rare' nonthermal states existing in the spectrum. We also propose a method to predict the collapse and revival time scales and how they scale with the number of particles in the condensate. We use a sudden quench to drive the system to non-equilibrium and hence the theoretical predictions given in this paper can be probed in experiments.

description: In today's highly litigious legal landscape, one might doubt that there could ever be an "open, fair, voluntary" agreement between copyright owners and service providers to police infringement. Congress nevertheless envisioned such a consensus when it developed § (i) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA): "Conditions for [Safe Harbor] Eligibility." An often-overlooked provision of the DMCA, § 512(i) directs right holders and Internet service providers to work together and agree on "standard technical measures" to "identify or protect copyrighted works." In addition to being the product of consensus, these measures must be "available . . . on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms" and also "not impose substantial costs . . . or substantial burdens." Although ostensibly thorough, these guidelines are too imprecise and elusive to actually guide service providers and right holders toward a consensus; the term "standard technical measures" remains undefined and possibly undefinable more than a decade after passage.

description: The main purpose of modern experiments with heavy ions is a comprehensive study of the QCD phase diagram in the field of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the possible phase transition to the QGP phase. One of the possible signals of QGP formation is an increase in the production of strange particles. Reconstruction of $\Sigma$ particles together with other strange particles completes the picture of strangeness production. $\Sigma^+$ and $\Sigma^-$ have all decay modes with at least one neutral daughter, which cannot be registered in a detector system. To identify them, the missing mass method is proposed: a) to reconstruct the tracks of mother particles ($\Sigma^-$) and charged daughter particles ($\pi^-$) in the tracking system; b) to reconstruct the neutral daughter particle ($n$) from these trajectories; c) to build the mother particle from the charged and reconstructed neutral daughter particles and determine its mass spectrum. The missing mass method is also used to reconstruct other strange particles. A total of 18 such decays with a neutral daughter particle are included in the physics analysis. The details of the method implementation are given and the results of its application to the simulated data of the CBM (FAIR/GSI, Germany) experiment are discussed. The method and its implementation may be of interest for other experiments in both heavy ion and particle physics.
Lex Luthor Wins: How the Termination Right Threatens to Tear the Man of Steel in Two

description: When Superman was created in 1938, there had never been a character quite like him. His arrival marked the first appearance of a superhero, setting off a trend that would come to dominate the comic book medium, one of the few distinctly American art forms, for the next seven decades. As befitting his larger than life adventures, the fictional character Superman spread across all communicative media, from the comic page to the radio serial, animation, live action television and motion pictures. Superman began as the brainchild of Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster, two like- minded sons of Jewish immigrants who met and befriended one another while attending the same Cleveland, Ohio high school. After many fitful stops and starts, and multiple interested publishers, Siegel and Shuster eventually brought the otherworldly Superman, the “last son of Krypton,” to Detective Comics, Inc. (“DC Comics” or “DC”), where he remains to this day. The “Man of Steel’s” colossal and unforeseen success has thrust DC and the Siegel and Shuster heirs (and the creators themselves, while they were still living) into a seemingly never-ending battle over the copyright to the character. Critical to this legal battle is the termination of transfer provision created in the Copyright Act of 1976, which grants the creators’ heirs the ability to recapture the rights the duo granted to DC over seventy years ago. The termination battle over Superman has thrown into sharp relief copyright law’s uncomfortable treatment of fictional characters and the protectability of such characters separate from the works in which they appear. Now that the Siegel heirs have successfully terminated the original Superman assignment, the heirs, along with DC, are co-owners of the copyright to Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman, through the Shuster interest that DC still possesses. But if and when the Shuster heirs’ termination becomes effective in 2013, the question will arise: what Superman property interests will the parties be left with after that date?

description: In the absence of a comprehensive reform of the federal immigration system, numerous cities, counties, and local governments have passed various local laws and ordinances aimed at addressing the externalities of a growing influx of undocumented immigrants. Recently, there has been a proliferation of local ordinances that establish licensing schemes intended to prohibit a landlord from leasing his property to individuals who lack proof of citizenship or legal immigration status. Three federal circuit courts have addressed potential preemption issues that arise from such ordinances. Due to the lack of clarity in the U.S. Supreme Court’s preemption jurisprudence within the context of immigration law, the three circuits have split over the validity of these local efforts to deny undocumented immigrants the right to basic housing. While one of the federal circuit courts examined in this Note has found such ordinances to not be preempted by federal immigration law, the other two courts to consider the issue have reached the opposite conclusion. In so doing, each federal circuit court decision has relied on the ambiguities of the doctrine of preemption to advance or hinder local laws that discriminate against undocumented foreigners. In light of this background, this Note analyzes the discriminatory implications of such local immigration laws. More importantly, this Note proposes an analytical framework that will offer a unified, non-discriminatory federal answer concerning the authority of state and local governments to adopt laws that encumber undocumented immigrants’ rights to housing.

description: Within the FAIR Phase-0 program the fast algorithms of the FLES (First-Level Event Selection) package developed for the CBM experiment (FAIR/GSI, Germany) are adapted for online and offline processing in the STAR experiment (BNL, USA). Using the same algorithms creates a bridge between online and offline. This makes it possible to combine online and offline resources for data processing. Thus, on the basis of the STAR HLT farm an express data production chain was created, which extends the functionality of HLT in real time, up to the analysis of physics. The same express data production chain can be used on the RCF farm, which is used for fast offline production with the similar tasks as in the extended HLT. The chain of express analysis does not interfere with the chain of standard analysis. An important advantage of express analysis is that it allows to start calibration, production and analysis of the data as soon as they are received. Therefore, use of the express analysis can be beneficial for BES-II data production and help accelerate science discovery by helping to obtain results within a year after the end of data acquisition. The specific features of express data production are given, as well as the result of online QA plots such as the real-time reconstruction of secondary decays in a BES-II environment.

description: Copyright subsists in creative works that are "fixed in any tangible medium of expression," usually understood as making fixation a prerequisite for protection. However, some argue that denying copyright to unfixed works unfairly denies protection to certain classes of artists or works, and that fairness, or concern for those classes of artists or genres, requires that they receive the benefit of copyright ownership for those unfixed works. These arguments generally assume the benefits of copyright protection to the artist, and often by unexamined extension to society. However, copyright ownership has social costs as well as social benefits. This Article examines the possible costs of applying copyright protection to unfixed works, in the context of the specific artists, traditions, genres and practices that rely mainly on unfixed works. It argues for a deeper, more empirically grounded understanding of the creative process and a broader definition of values that arise from culture making, and thus a broader understanding of the public policy implications in copyright law.

description: We introduce a variant of the multi-grid Monte Carlo (MGMC) method, based on the embedding of an $XY$ model into the target model, and we study its mathematical properties for a variety of nonlinear $σ$-models. We then apply the method to the two-dimensional $O(N)$-symmetric nonlinear $σ$-models (also called $N$-vector models) with $N=3,4,8$ and study its dynamic critical behavior. Using lattices up to $256 \times 256$, we find dynamic critical exponents $z_{int,{\cal M}^2} \approx 0.70 \pm 0.08$, $0.60 \pm 0.07$, $0.52 \pm 0.10$ for $N=3,4,8$, respectively (subjective 68\% confidence intervals). Thus, for these asymptotically free models, critical slowing-down is greatly reduced compared to local algorithms, but not completely eliminated; and the dynamic critical exponent does apparently vary with $N$. We also analyze the static data for $N=8$ using a finite-size-scaling extrapolation method. The correlation length $ξ$ agrees with the four-loop asymptotic-freedom prediction to within $\approx 1\%$ over the interval $12 < ξ< 650$.

description: Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (HQJZ), a famous classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, could protect metabolic perturbations of carbohydrates and amino acids induced by chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in our previous metabolomic study based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. The present study was designed to improve the metabolome coverage to investigate the regulative mechanism of HQJZ against CAG through ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographys coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS) based-metabolomic approach. The results revealed that thirteen potential biomarkers were significantly regulated by HQJZ, which were involved into bile acid biosynthesis, sphingolipid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Partial least square regression analysis (PLS-RA) and MetPA analysis revealed that glycerophospholipid metabolism was the most relevant efficacy of HQJZ against CAG. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and systemDock analysis also demonstrated that HQJZ could significantly inhibit the expression of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which was played key role in the glycerophospholipid metabolism. The results demonstrated that HQJZ exerted anti-CAG effects through the inhibition of PLA2 and glycerophospholipid metabolism, which highlighted the linking between the upstream protein expression and the downstream endogenous metabolites in molecular pharmacology.

description: Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to summarize the available evidence on the prevalence of professional burnout among medical students. Methods: The review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Databases were systematically searched for peer-reviewed articles, reporting burnout among medical students published between 2000 and 2017. The meta-analysis was conducted on the available data on burnout rates in medical students measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS). Results: Fifty-eight out of 3006 studies were found eligible for inclusion. Twelve of these studies met the criteria for meta-analysis. Weighted mean values for the three sub-dimensions of the MBI–HSS were M = 22.93 (SD = 10.25) for Emotional Exhaustion, M = 8.88 (SD = 5.64) for Depersonalization, and M = 35.11 (SD = 8.03) for Personal Accomplishment. Prevalence rates for professional burnout ranged from 7.0% to 75.2%, depending on country-specific factors, applied instruments, cutoff-criteria for burnout symptomatology. Conclusion: This review underlines the burden of burnout among medical students. Future research should explicitly focus on specific context factors and student group under investigation. Such efforts are necessary to control for context-dependent confounders in research on medical students’ mental health impairment to enable more meaningful comparisons and adequate prevention strategies.

description: The paper addresses Leon Henkin's proposition as a "lighthouse",
which can elucidate a vast territory of knowledge uniformly: logic, set theory,
information theory, and quantum mechanics: Two strategies to infinity are
equally relevant for it is as universal and thus complete as open and thus incomplete.
Henkin's, Godel's, Robert Jeroslow's, and Hartley Rogers'
proposition are reformulated so that both completeness and incompleteness to
be unified and thus reduced as a joint property of infinity and of all infinite sets.
However, only Henkin's proposition equivalent to an internal position to
infinity is consistent . This can be retraced back to set theory and its axioms,
where tha t of choice is a key. Quantum mechanics is forced to introduce infinity implicitly by Hilbert space, on which is founded its formalism. One can
demonstrate that some essential properties of quantum information,
entanglement, and quantum computer originate directly from infinity once it is
involved in quantum mechanics. Thus, these phenomena can be elucidated as
both complete and incomplete, after which choice is the border between them.
A special kind of invariance to the axiom of choice shared by quantum
mechanics is discussed to be involved that border between the completeness
and incompleteness of infinity in a consistent way. The so-called paradox of
Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen is interpreted entirely in
the same terms only of set theory. Quantum computer can demonstrate
especially clearly the privilege of the internal position, or "observer'' , or "user" to infinity implied by Henkin's proposition as the only consist ent ones as to infinity. An essential area of contemporary knowledge may be synthesized from a single viewpoint.

description: Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), a kind of energetic solar eruptions, are an integral subject of space weather research. Numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling, which requires powerful computational resources, is one of the primary means of studying the phenomenon. With increasing accessibility of such resources, grows the demand for user-friendly tools that would facilitate the process of simulating CMEs for scientific and operational purposes. The Eruptive Event Generator based on Gibson-Low flux rope (EEGGL), a new publicly available computational model presented in this paper, is an effort to meet this demand. EEGGL allows one to compute the parameters of a model flux rope driving a CME via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). We provide a brief overview of the physical principles behind EEGGL and its functionality. Ways towards future improvements of the tool are outlined.

description: In this work, we focus on assessing the contribution of the initial-state fluctuations of heavy ion collision in the hydrodynamic simulations. We try to answer the question of whether the hydrodynamic simulation retains the same level of fluctuation in the final-state as for the initial stage. In another scenario, the hydrodynamic simulations the fluctuation drowns in the final distribution of expanding matter. For this purpose, we prepared sufficient relativistic hydrodynamic program to study A+A interaction which allows analyzing initial-state fluctuations in the bulk nuclear matter. For such an assumption, it is better to use high spatial resolution. Therefore, we applied the (3+1) dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and we implemented our program using parallel computing on graphics cards processors Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Simulations were carried out with various levels of fluctuation in initial conditions using the averaging method of events coming from Glauber Monte Carlo and UrQMD models. Energy density distributions were analyzed and the contribution of fluctuations in initial conditions was assessed in the hydrodynamic simulation.

description: We study interactions between bright matter-wave solitons which acquire chiral transport dynamics due to an optically-induced density-dependent gauge potential. Through numerical simulations, we find that the collision dynamics feature several non-integrable phenomena, from inelastic collisions including population transfer and radiation losses to short-lived bound states and soliton fission. An effective quasi-particle model for the interaction between the solitons is derived by means of a variational approximation, which demonstrates that the inelastic nature of the collision arises from a coupling of the gauge field to velocities of the solitons. In addition, we derive a set of interaction potentials which show that the influence of the gauge field appears as a short-range potential, that can give rise to both attractive and repulsive interactions.

description: We present the detection and follow-up observations of planetary candidates around low-mass stars observed by the K2 mission. Based on light-curve analysis, adaptive-optics imaging, and optical spectroscopy at low and high resolution (including radial velocity measurements), we validate 16 planets around 12 low-mass stars observed during K2 campaigns 5-10. Among the 16 planets, 12 are newly validated, with orbital periods ranging from 0.96-33 days. For one of the planets (K2-151b) we present ground-based transit photometry, allowing us to refine the ephemerides. Combining our K2 M-dwarf planets together with the validated or confirmed planets found previously, we investigate the dependence of planet radius $R_p$ on stellar insolation and metallicity [Fe/H]. We confirm that for periods $P\lesssim 2$ days, planets with a radius $R_p\gtrsim 2\,R_\oplus$ are less common than planets with a radius between 1-2$\,R_\oplus$. We also see a hint of the "radius valley" between 1.5 and 2$\,R_\oplus$ that has been seen for close-in planets around FGK stars. These features in the radius/period distribution could be attributed to photoevaporation of planetary envelopes by high-energy photons from the host star, as they have for FGK stars. For the M dwarfs, though, the features are not as well defined, and we cannot rule out other explanations such as atmospheric loss from internal planetary heat sources, or truncation of the protoplanetary disk. There also appears to be a relation between planet size and metallicity: those few planets larger than about 3 $R_\oplus$ are found around the most metal-rich M dwarfs.

Scalable monitoring data processing for the LHCb software trigger
Creators: name: Aaij, Roel

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The LHCb high level trigger (HLT) is split in two stages. HLT1 is synchronous with collisions delivered by the LHC and writes its output to a local disk buffer, which is asynchronously processed by HLT2. Efficient monitoring of the data being processed by the application is crucial to promptly diagnose detector or software problems. HLT2 consists of approximately 50000 processes and 4000 histograms are produced by each process. This results in 200 million histograms that need to be aggregated for each of up to a hundred data taking intervals that are being processed simultaneously. This paper presents the multi-level hierarchical architecture of the monitoring infrastructure put in place to achieve this. Network bandwidth is minimised by sending histogram increments and only exchanging metadata when necessary, using a custom lightweight protocol based on boost::serialize. The transport layer is implemented with ZeroMQ, which supports IPC and TCP communication, queue handling, asynchronous request/response and multipart messages. The persistent storage to ROOT is parallelized in order to cope with data arriving from a hundred of data taking intervals being processed simultaneously by HLT2. The performance and the scalability of the current system are presented. We demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach for the HLT1 use case, where real-time feedback and reliability of the infrastructure are crucial. In addition, a prototype of a high-level transport layer based on the stream-processing platform Apache Kafka is shown, which has several advantages over the lower-level ZeroMQ solution.

description: In the real world, agents or entities are in a continuous state of interactions. These inter- actions lead to various types of complexity dynamics. One key difficulty in the study of complex agent interactions is the difficulty of modeling agent communication on the basis of rewards. Game theory offers a perspective of analysis and modeling these interactions. Previously, while a large amount of literature is available on game theory, most of it is from specific domains and does not cater for the concepts from an agent- based perspective. Here in this paper, we present a comprehensive multidisciplinary state-of-the-art review and taxonomy of game theory models of complex interactions between agents.

The decay width of the top quark is measured using a template fit to distributions of kinematic observables associated with the hadronically and semileptonically decaying top quarks. The result, $Γ_t = 1.76 \pm 0.33 (\rm{stat.}) ^{+0.79}_{-0.68} (\rm{syst.})\; \rm{GeV}$ for a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV, is consistent with the prediction of the Standard Model.

description: We derive a general limit on the fidelity of a quantum channel conveying an ensemble of pure states. Unlike previous results, this limit applies to arbitrary coding and decoding schemes, including nonunitary decoding. This establishes the converse of the quantum noiseless coding theorem for all such schemes.

To Bully or not to Bully: Understanding the Role of Uncertainty in Trademark Enforcement Decisions

description: Companies like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A are routinely labeled trademark bullies. The term “trademark bully” is typically used to describe a large company that uses aggressive intimidation tactics and threats of prolonged trademark infringement litigation to stop small businesses and individuals from using their own trademarks where the stated claims of infringement are likely spurious or non-existent. Trademark bullying harms competition and chills the free speech interests of those seeking to use trademarks for criticism and parody as permitted by the fair use doctrine. This Article identifies two fundamental causes that interact to encourage the aggressive tactics used by trademark bullies. First, trademark law imposes a vague duty on trademark owners to “police” third party trademark use for potential infringement. This uncertain duty renders trademark owners unable to accurately predict the risk of harm that third parties pose to their trademarks. Secondly, inherent cognitive biases affecting evaluations of such risk lead to systematic judgment errors and overestimation of the risk involved, thereby encouraging aggressive trademark enforcement. This Article uses prospect theory, an empirical social science approach to understanding human decision making, to characterize the psychological phenomena, including loss aversion and overestimation of risk, that motivate trademark bullies. Prospect theory explains apparently irrational decision making by trademark bullies. Recently proposed solutions for trademark bullying mistakenly assume that the trademark bully conducts a rational cost-benefit analysis prior to acting. Better solutions require an understanding of the actual psychological processes that underlie these aggressive tactics.

description: The rate at which computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has evolved during the last three decades is remarkable. With annual conferences devoted to its various aspects, books being published regularly, and at least four international journals dedicated to this specialty, CALL continues to grow given the interest and commitment of the professionals and stakeholders concerned. A closer examination of the major aspects of CALL, such as its design and material, research, and practice (especially the relevant kind of teacher education) would reveal a gradual but steady increase of specialization and sophistication, thus attesting to the enormous potential of CALL in facilitating language learning (Levy & Stockwell, 2006).
Ultimate precision of joint quadrature parameter estimation with a Gaussian probe

description: The Holevo Cramér Rao bound is a lower bound on the sum of the mean square error of estimates for parameters of a state. We provide a method for calculating the Holevo Cramér-Rao bound for estimation of quadrature mean parameters of a Gaussian state by formulating the problem as a semidefinite program. In this case, the bound is tight; it is attained by purely Guassian measurements. We consider the example of a symmetric two-mode squeezed thermal state undergoing an unknown displacement on one mode. We calculate the Holevo Cramér-Rao bound for joint estimation of the conjugate parameters for this displacement. The optimal measurement is different depending on whether the state is entangled or separable.

description: When Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante gave the Manges Lecture two years ago, she suggested that we explore drafting the “Next Great Copyright Act.” Creating that Act will require hard thinking about how to adapt copyright law to meet the challenges of our current legal, cultural, and technological era. But even with great ideas about how to adapt the law, creating the Next Great Copyright Act will also require designing a copyright statute that implements those ideas. Tonight, I’d like to explore the constraints and complexities that will confront the copyright bar as we try to design particular features of a “Next Great Copyright Act.”
Flat Band in Disorder Driven Non-Hermitian Weyl Semimetals

description: We study the interplay of disorder and bandstructure topology in a Weyl semimetal with a tilted conical spectrum around the Weyl points. The spectrum of particles is given by the eigenvalues of a non-Hermitian matrix, which contains contributions from a Weyl Hamiltonian and complex self-energy due to electron elastic scattering on disorder. We find that the tilt-induced matrix structure of the self-energy gives rise to either a flat band or a nodal line segment at the interface of the electron and hole pockets in the bulk bandstructure of type-II Weyl semimetals depending on the Weyl cone inclination. For the tilt in a single direction in momentum space, each Weyl point expands into a flat band lying on the plane, which is transverse to the direction of the tilt. The spectrum of the flat band is fully imaginary and is separated from the in-plane dispersive part of the spectrum by the "exceptional nodal ring" where the matrix of the Green function in momentum-frequency space is defective. The tilt in two directions might shrink a flat band into a nodal line segment with "exceptional edge points". We discuss the connection to the non-Hermitian topological theory.

Ward Identity and Scattering Amplitudes for Nonlinear Sigma Models

description: We present a Ward identity for nonlinear sigma models using generalized nonlinear shift symmetries, without introducing current algebra or coset space. The Ward identity constrains correlation functions of the sigma model such that the Adler's zero is guaranteed for $S$-matrix elements, and gives rise to a subleading single soft theorem that is valid at the quantum level and to all orders in the Goldstone decay constant. For tree amplitudes, the Ward identity leads to a novel Berends-Giele recursion relation as well as an explicit form of the subleading single soft factor. Furthermore, interactions of the cubic biadjoint scalar theory associated with the single soft limit, which was previously discovered using the Cachazo-He-Yuan representation of tree amplitudes, can be seen to emerge from matrix elements of conserved currents corresponding to the generalized shift symmetry.

description: In Part I, this Note will explore federal cultural property statutes as well as the doctrines of common law copyright and aboriginal title, each of which might be employed to determine ownership interests in pre-1972 sound recordings made on Indian reservations. In Part II, this Note will present a case study, involving a nonindigenous collector who captured a massive body of Native American cultural expression prior to 1972, to illustrate the complexities of applying cultural property statutes and common law doctrines to these types of materials in the present. Finally, recognizing that the Copyright Act’s treatment of pre-1972 sound recordings has been identified by Congress as an area in need of revision,12 Part III explores the potential risks and benefits of applying the Copyright Act’s frameworks to pre-1972 sound recordings made on federally recognized Indian reservations. If Congress does have the power to impose these frameworks on pre- 1972 sound recordings made on tribal lands, how might such a framework affect tribal communities? And, should tribal communities oppose such a move by Congress?
Entropy, neutro-entropy and anti-entropy for neutrosophic information

description: This approach presents a multi-valued representation of the neutrosophic information. It highlights the link between the bifuzzy information and neutrosophic one. The constructed deca-valued structure shows the neutrosophic information complexity. This deca-valued structure led to construction of two new concepts for the neutrosophic information: neutro-entropy and anti-entropy. These two concepts are added to the two existing: entropy and non-entropy. Thus, we obtained the following triad: entropy, neutro-entropy and anti-entropy.
