UCSB researchers demonstrate that 15=3x5 about half of the time

UCSB researchers demonstrate that 15=3x5 about half of the time
2012-08-20
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Computing prime factors may sound like an elementary math problem, but try it with a large number, say one that contains more than 600 digits, and the task becomes enormously challenging and impossibly time-consuming. Now, a group of researchers at UC Santa Barbara has designed and fabricated a quantum processor capable of factoring a composite number — in this case the number 15 — into its constituent prime factors, 3 and 5. Although modest compared to a 600-digit number, the achievement represents a milestone on the road map to building a ...

The research will be presented at the 107th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association. The study was conducted ...

DENVER — Why do some colleges have persistently high levels of binge drinking?

"Binge drinking is a symbolic proxy for high status in college," said Carolyn L. Hsu, co-author of the study and an associate professor of sociology at Colgate University. "It's what the most powerful, ...

Secondhand smoke impairs vital cough reflex in kids

2012-08-20
PHILADELPHIA (August 20, 2012) – New research from the Monell Center reveals that exposure to secondhand smoke decreases sensitivity to cough-eliciting respiratory irritants in otherwise healthy children and adolescents. The findings may help to explain why children of smokers are more likely to develop pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases and also are more likely to experiment with smoking during adolescence. "Cough protects our lungs from potentially damaging environmental threats, such as chemicals and dust. Living with a parent who smokes weakens this reflex, ...
