that we have only four heavy atoms (i.e.,carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) and four positions in which they can be located. Thepurpose of the circuit is to identify one atom for each of these four positions with the highestprobability to form a molecule with a good fit for binding to the protein. Our four heavy atoms(C, N, O, and S) can inhabit four positions (44) which can be encoded as 256 uniquecombinations of molecules. Rather than checking all 256 possibilities one-by-one as a classicalcomputer would require, we leverage entanglement and superposition to check them all at onetime. As is true in our advanced quantum circuit, hydrogen is not encoded. This is becausehydrogen (H) is a light atom. Rather, we assume the presence of

Theexpansion of the model to three additional schools -- University of California, San Diego(UCSD), Boise State University (BSU), and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) --will allow for an examination of its malleability and potential for further dissemination.

“realities” of anethical situation. Coined by Pat Werhane of the Darden School of Business, the term “moralimagination” refers to an ability to examine a situation from multiple points of view. Anautomobile accident, for example, may involve several people: the person(s) who caused thecrash, the person(s) in the other vehicle, bystanders, perhaps even nearby law enforcement.Authorities attempting to reconstruct the incident must take into consideration the observationsof participants and bystanders, each of whom “saw” something slightly different and each takingon different social roles, according to their proximity to the incident and as defined by an overall“framing narrative” that allows us to organize perception.20Werhane and Moriarty use the

With the correct mix of cement, water, aggregate, andadmixtures in addition to “Stamina, Teamwork, Strength, Imagination and Commitment,” yes,it will!The use of concrete to make a canoe is an unusual application of a common building material.In the 1970’s when some civil engineering college students decided to build a canoe usingreinforced concrete, concrete boats were not an entirely new idea. In 1848, Joseph Louis Labotof France built the first concrete dingy. The first ocean-going concrete ship was an 84-footlong boat constructed

ReviewEngineeringAmerica is the place where dreams happen, as evident by the creativity, discovery, andinnovation of the American workforce. These workforce attributes contribute to the UnitedStates being a leader in science and engineering fields. The U.S.’s leadership in these fields hasbeen held secure by the ample supply of a well-educated workforce3. However, for the pastseveral years, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) has revealedthat America’s youth lag behind those of other nations such as Japan, England, Singapore, andChinese Taipei.4,5 In addition, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)revealed that 39% of the United States twelfth graders performed below the proficient level onthe 2007 math test, while

The teamsthen choose one of their bugs (or a variant thereof) to explore further. The teams write a memo tothe instructor describing the bug, but are encouraged to remain open to the actual solution totheir bug. It is
