Our 2017 baby year has begun. Our first baby arrived on April 4th this year! The babies mother is Olive, and she was also the first to calve last year. She had a little boy and he is doing fantastic!
NOTE: Reindeer babies are typically born with warm, fuzzy, dark colored hair to draw in the heat of the sun! They are Arctic animals and are often born on snow or in very cold conditions. The dark color helps to absorb the heat.
BABY BAG: Our baby bag contains things for our first handling of the newborn. We handle the newborns around 4 hours after birth. We like to give mom and baby some time together before we touch the baby.
Naval dip: to prevent bacteria from getting into the baby from the navel.
Probiotic Paste: this is a paste given orally. It helps that newborn rumen get going! It has great vitamins.
Vitamin B Complex: babies first shot! Also helps with the rumen and prevents thiamine deficiency.
Scale: To weigh the baby.
Ear tagger: We tag the boys with a blue tag and girls with a red tag. Each has a number so we can ID them.
In this photo, Olive is nursing the baby laying down! Mom is tired, and the baby is still weak after entering the world, so it works best for them to lay down and nurse. She is licking his bottom while he eats, which makes him poop. A good mom keeps the babies bottom clean!
Olive had a slight complication, she didn't pass her placenta. We waited and watched. After 24 hours we became worried. Not only does it need to shed out, but it is a pathway for bacteria to enter the mother. So, we contacted our Vet. She prescribed some medicine to induce contractions to help the placenta shed out. We had to get it out within 48 hours, or the cervix would start to close! It didn't work. So, the following day we gave her some new medicine to open the cervix and induce contractions. It worked! Olive shed the placenta!
We closely watched for infection. Yesterday she was put back into the herd with her little guy. He was so happy to run around and be with his new baby friends! A lot of new friends have arrived since he and mom were brought up front!
Olive is a 7-year-old reindeer, she is halter broke and pulls sleds!

Hyundai Heavy's Record 700,000 MVA Transformer Production
Dec. 21, 2010 - Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. became the first Korean company to achieve an aggregate transformer production of 700,000 MVA on December 21 by producing an 800 MVA transformer ordered from South Africa. This amounts to about ten times the production capacity of all Korean power plants.
Since its first transformer in 1977, Hyundai Heavy has shown rapid growth by achieving 500,000 MVA in October 2008 and 600,000 MVA in January 2010. Hyundai Heavy is expected to achieve annual transformer sales of KRW 1.5 trillion (USD 1.3 billion) by the end of this year, a 40% increase from a year earlier.
Hyundai Heavy Industries has steered into the fast growth by steadily securing clients' confidence from its key markets in North America, the Middle East, and Africa and by successfully tapping into new markets in Australia, India and Europe.
Hyundai Heavy Industries has a full line of transformers ranging from 200kV to 500kV and 800kV, setting up its global production bases in Asia, Europe and North America. The Ulsan factory located in Korea has the world's biggest annual production capacity of 120,000 MVA. Hyundai Heavy also operates a 5,000 MVA transformer factory in Sofia, Bulgaria and a 14,000 MVA factory in Alabama, USA.

Subsequently, he has expanded his vilification net to include ever more people from south of our border. Late last week, Mr. Trump declared he will cut off all foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador and is likely to close our southern border, purportedly to deter migrants lawfully seeking asylum in the United States. Under both U.S. and international law, we must offer individuals a fair opportunity to seek asylum.
Since last week's announcement, pundit after pundit has opined that, if Trump wants to stop migration from Central America, cutting off foreign aid and closing the southern border are the last things he should do. Indeed, the talking heads observe, such actions will almost certainly have a devastating effect on the economies and social structure of these countries, increasing -- not decreasing -- the numbers of people desperately seeking asylum.
They shake their heads and comment that Mr. Trump's actions will result in "unintended consequences." To these pundits I reply, "Nonsense! Further chaos and stress at the border are not unintended consequences; rather these are precisely the tensions the president very purposefully wants to exacerbate." If his national security advisors and the Congress refuse to recognize a national emergency, he'll see to it there is one. The man is so hell bent on being proven right that he'll create the emergency himself.
The term "unintended consequences" usually refers to outcomes that are not the ones sought by someone who takes a given action. Here, Trump claims he wants to improve the situation at the border; in fact, he will make things much worse. But the "making it worse" outcome will come as no surprise to the president. Mr. Trump's cruel actions won't "backfire," they will ignite a fire. And that is precisely what he intends to do.

Black Mask is coming to the big screen. The upcoming Birds of Prey movie will reportedly feature the character as the main villain. Black Mask was previously rumored for Gotham City Sirens, which has been put on the back burner in favor of Birds of Prey. This movie will see the return of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and is likely going to be the next DC movie to film once Wonder Woman 1984 wraps up.
A new report reveals that Black Mask will indeed be the big bad that Harley Quinn and her badass girl gang will be going up against in Birds of Prey. At the present time, there's no word on how he factors into the plot, nor is there any word on who may be playing the nefarious criminal kingpin of Gotham City. Black Mask has historically been portrayed as a Batman villain, so that leaves room to tie this movie to the Caped Crusader, should Warner Bros. want to go that route. Though, they seem to be much more focused on making standalone movies in the wake of what happened with Justice League.
The character of Black Mask was created by Doug Moench and Tom Mandrake. He made his first appearance in the pages of DC Comics in August 1985 in Batman #386. Black Mask is generally portrayed as a sadistic kingpin and a fixture in Gotham City's criminal underworld. The man under the mask is named Roman Sionis, who murdered his wealthy parents so that he could take control of the family business. That didn't work out so well. He lost the business and his family fortune, as he proved to be a not-so-savvy businessman, and blamed Bruce Wayne and Wayne Enterprises for his failures. He then dawns the mask and heads up a gang called the False Face Society.
Black Canary, Huntress, Renee Montoya and Cassandra Cain will join Harley Quinn to make up the Birds of Prey. As of right now, it doesn't look like Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, will be part of the team. So far, there have been no casting announcements made for the DC heroines who will be joining up with Margot Robbie. Production is expected to begin in January once Robbie finishes work on Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She's also scheduled to play Harley Quinn once again in Suicide Squad 2, but there's no word currently on when filming may begin on the sequel.
It was previously rumored that Penguin may be the villain, but he could be showing up elsewhere in the DC universe. Matt Reeves' The Batman would seem to make sense. Cathy Yahn, known for her debut feature Dead Pigs, has been tapped to helm the movie for Warner Bros. Christina Hodson, who also wrote the upcoming Transformers spin-off Bumblebee, penned the screenplay. Birds of Prey does not yet have a release date. We'll be sure to keep you up to date as more details are made available. This news comes to us courtesy of The Wrap.


Visiting Spoleto means entering a captivating reality that seems like bringing the visitor back through time. Walking the alleys in downtown Spoleto, exploring the wonderful nature in perfect harmony with the work of man, or accessing its famous monuments are key moments for the city to disclose its soul. The imposing Roman traces, the remains of early-Medieval or Longobard buildings, the splendid Romanesque churches, testify to the oldest history of Spoleto, woven together with the present times, thanks to the presence of great contemporary art works.
The wonderful noble palaces in downtown Spoleto are the location of important cultural events and the Festival of Two Worlds has been ratifying Spoleto's international vocation for more than half a century, turning the city into a place open to all forms of art.
Christianity reached Spoleto quite early, as testified to by the presence of many local martyrs, still venerated today, and by documents certifying the presence of the bishop see since the 4th century. Many religious buildings in Spoleto have very old origins and often underwent renovations, especially during the Romanesque and Renaissance periods, with the arrival of such artists as Filippo Lippi or Pintoricchio. The renovation or construction of new churches during the 17th and 18th centuries often occurred thanks to outstanding bishops and local noblemen, who helped establish strict connections with Rome and the great artists orbiting around the Holy See.
One of the reasons of the great charm of Spoleto lies in the unexpected beauty that will take its visitors by surprise.
Spoleto differs from many other ancient towns because of the presence of a number of noble palaces that, in particular between the 17th and 18th centuries, further embellished the medieval town, modifying its plant with new piazzas and elegant façades.
Named after the noble families which commissioned them, they reflect the wealth and power that those families reached in the early modern times.
Spoleto's vocation for shows and performances has very old roots, as testified to by the many theatres and other locations that pushed M° Gian Carlo Menotti to choose the city for his Festival Of Two Worlds.
It is thanks to this and other kermesses that the Roman Theatre has recovered its old function after 2000 years of oblivion, and that the two historical city theatres keep on hosting high-level shows throughout the year.
Spoleto has a privileged relation with contemporary art, due to the sparkling atmosphere in the city since the mid-20th century.
It is in this fecund milieu, testified to by the excellent collection at the Carandente Museum, that the artists of the "Gruppo di Spoleto" could mature, and initiatives such as the "Spoleto Prize" and "Sculptures In The City" could be conceived.
This exceptional opening to the contemporary is fed by the vitality of Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts and its continuously evolving collections, and by many artists who, by birth or by choice, contribute to keep this age-old city alive and young.
Spoleto's age-old history is reflected in the richness of its artistic heritage, kept inside the six city museums.
The huge collections allow to retrace the stages that, from the ancient origins up to the contemporary period, have contributed to the city's extraordinary cultural unity.
The visit to the museums is made further attractive by their own being located inside historical buildings, true evidences of the city's glorious past.
The Longobards, an ancient people coming from Scandinavia, after long migrations invaded Italy in 568 and occupied it almost entirely. During their rule, Spoleto became the capital city of the Duchy of Spoleto, spanning across most of Central Italy.
Late studies recognized the central role that the "long-bearded people" had in the passage from the Roman Empire to the Carolingian one, wiping away the concept of decadence that was generally associated to such period before.
The acknowledgment of the Longobards' role led to the inclusion of the serial site "The Longobards in Italy" in the UNESCO WHL, that shows the most important Longobard evidences in the peninsula.
The Spoleto Festival is one of the most prestigious events at international level, and features opera, prose, ballet, concerts, art exhibitions and films every year, from late June to mid-July.
Founded in 1947 by lawyer and musicologist Adriano Belli, this institution introduces particularly talented young singers in seek of their debut, to the world of opera.
The excellent environmental peculiarities of Umbria are among the features that make this region unique, and give it the definition of "Green Heart of Italy".
The area around Spoleto includes centuries-old thick woods, limpid watercourses and uncontaminated oases, ideal background for sport activities in touch with nature, such as rafting, horse-riding, trekking, cycling, long promoted by many initiatives in support of environmental tourism.

Hawaiian Launches Nonstop Service to Sendai
HONOLULU, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines today launched its inaugural flight from Honolulu to Sendai, its fifth gateway in Japan and 10th new international destination it has introduced or announced in less than three years.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130625/AQ38586)
Passengers of the inaugural flight enjoyed a festive island-style send-off at Honolulu International Airport before boarding, featuring Hawaiian music and hula, a traditional Hawaiian blessing, presentation of fresh flower lei, and a special performance honoring the Japanese culture.
"Our new nonstop service provides travelers throughout the entire region of Sendai with convenient access to our home, the Hawaiian Islands," said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian's president and CEO. "Hawai'i has deep connections with Japan, and we are very delighted to launch our fifth destination there as we continue to grow our network in Asia."
Sendai is the largest city in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, which has a population of more than 9 million. Sendai is known in Japan as "Mori no Miyako," or Forest City, for its many green spaces in its city center. It is also known for its high quality rice and for its summer Tanabata Festival, which draws thousands of visitors from across Japan.
Hawaiian's Honolulu-Sendai service is the first scheduled service between Sendai and Hawai'i since another carrier left the market in 2004, and among the first new services to be introduced at Sendai Airport since it was closed for more than a month in 2011 due to damage caused by the Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
"Congratulations and aloha to Hawaiian Airlines on the launch of their new Sendai flight," said Mike McCartney, president and CEO of the Hawai'i Tourism Authority. "This flight will provide visitors from Northern Japan with greater access to the Hawaiian Islands and will help us in our efforts to reach two million visitors by 2016, a goal we set with the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA). We look forward to sharing our islands' unique culture and aloha spirit with visitors from Sendai."
Hawaiian's Flight HA 441 departs Honolulu International Airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 12:55 p.m., cross the international dateline, and arrive at Sendai International Airport at 4:30 p.m. the following day. The return Flight 442 will then continue to Sapporo's New Chitose Airport at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving at New Chitose at 7:00 p.m. before departing to Honolulu at 9:10 p.m., crossing the international dateline and arriving in Honolulu at 9:50 a.m. the same day.
Hawaiian operates the Honolulu-Sendai-Sapporo flights using its fleet of roomy wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing 767-300ER aircraft that seat up to 264 passengers.
Travelers will enjoy a customized presentation of Hawaiian's signature inflight hospitality program, combining its celebration of the islands' culture, natural beauty, people, cuisine, and Aloha Spirit, with entertainment options and special onboard products designed for the Japanese traveler.
The addition of Sendai to Hawaiian's international network follows the launches of service to Tokyo in November 2010, Seoul in January 2011, Osaka in July 2011, Fukuoka in April 2012, New York in June 2012, Sapporo in October 2012, Brisbane in November 2012 and Auckland in March 2013. Hawaiian previously announced new service to Taipei, Taiwan in July 2013. New nonstop service will begin between Honolulu and Beijing, China in April 2014, subject to government approvals.
In the U.S., tickets can be purchased online at www.HawaiianAirlines.com, or by phone toll-free through Hawaiian's reservations center at 1-800-367-5320. In Japan, tickets can be purchased online via Hawaiian's Japanese-language website at www.HawaiianAirlines.co.jp, or by phone through its sales office in Japan at 03-5405-8761.
Hawaiian has led all U.S. carriers in on-time performance for each of the past nine years (2004-2012) as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Consumer surveys by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and Zagat have all ranked Hawaiian the highest of all domestic airlines serving Hawai'i.
Now in its 84th year of continuous service, Hawaiian is Hawai'i's biggest and longest-serving airline, as well as the largest provider of passenger air service from its primary visitor markets on the U.S. mainland. Hawaiian offers nonstop service to Hawai'i from more U.S. gateway cities (11) than any other airline, along with service from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, and Tahiti. New nonstop service will begin between Honolulu and Taipei, Taiwan on July 9, 2013 and, subject to government approvals, between Honolulu and Beijing, China in April 2014. Hawaiian also provides approximately 160 jet flights daily between the Hawaiian Islands.

On a horribly cold night last week we took the bus into Brighton to see Hollie Cook play at The Haunt. We have been enjoying Hollie's music since she released her debut album back in 2011 so we were right pleased to get the chance to see her live. The show had been rescheduled due to one member of the band being ill so it ended up being the last gig of the tour. We wouldn't have been able to make it to the original date so it was fate that we could go!
It didn't take the crowd long to warm up once the band arrived on stage and kicked off a bass-heavy summery set of what Hollie has described as "tropical pop". Her band were super tight and the sound man had done his job really well – everything sounded very nicely balanced. Hollie was promoting her third album, Vessel of Love and began the set with the album opener Angel Fire.
Hollie has a beautiful, clear voice that fits really nicely in to the laid back sound of her band. Although it was recorded in 2014 with a different band, this recording from KEXP gives a good idea of the live experience, minus the stomach churning bass!
We especially enjoyed hearing Shadow Kissing from Hollie's debut album, as well as her excellent covers of The Shangri-Las (Remember [Walking in the Sand]) and Delaney & Bonnie (Groupie [Superstar]). It's always nice to go and see someone who seems so happy to be on stage – Hollie was all smiles as she talked in between songs about how she had spent a lot of time in Brighton and written some of her songs here.
Hollie has plenty more live dates planned, including a return to Brighton in October – check out her website for a full list!

For 40 years, Ellen Beveridge told the community's stories
Published 10:25 am EDT, Tuesday, May 16, 2017
Ellen Beveridge
Ellen Beveridge was, in my experience, one of the most important people in the lives of regular folk living in Trumbull, Shelton, Monroe, Easton and their neighboring communities for more than 40 years, yet relatively few people were aware of her. She didn't mind; I think she was satisfied fulfilling a role that few others did, and certainly not at her level or standards.
Ellen was the social editor of the Trumbull Times and, as the Hometown Publications territory expanded, so did her role - to the Monroe Courier, then the Easton Courier and the Huntington Herald, where I came into her realm. I was merely 25 when I became the first Herald editor. I already had plenty of writing experience, but I didn't know page layout (a laborious process at the time, yet a critical job responsibility).
The publisher hired me anyway and put me in Ellen's care. I learned layout, all right, and some of the finer points of editing, especially regarding social news. My education was, at times, equally frustrating to us both, but she persevered and taught me well. So well, in fact, that when I became executive editor and started hiring 20-somethings who didn't know a thing about layout, I sent them her way.
For 17 years, Ellen and I trained a generation of journalists. But her influence was much more remarkable than that; her reach encompassed three generations.
When she marked 40 years at Hometown, we realized that she was writing birth announcements for infants whose grandparents' wedding announcements she ushered into the Trumbull Times' pages decades earlier. And, in between, she wrote, edited, laid out and published articles about the families' high school and college graduations, honor roll and dean's list achievements, awards, new jobs and civic club activities—all the things that matter most to us as individuals.
She was a fixture in Hometown's newsroom until she was 84, and even there it wasn't age or infirmity that led to her retirement; it was yet another darn computer system she was supposed to learn. Ellen, who began her career on an Underwood typewriter, had learned basic computer functions on the big, clunky machines that took up huge sections of our desks. She learned Just Text, and then Microsoft Word (training rookie reporters how to lay out pages was much easier). She got through Y2K with the rest of us, but, in 2007, InDesign was more than enough. She retired, sort of—she held on to her connection to Trumbull with a column in the Times.
I learned today that Ellen passed away a few days ago, and I was deeply saddened. Then I felt compelled. Ellen helped train a generation of fledgling journalists, and she was important to three generations of people in Trumbull and other communities, telling their stories of achievement. The least I can do is tell hers.


"If you take female hormones the primary one of which is oestrogen (estrogen), you will undergo a gradual male to female transformation just as a girl does at puberty. As the feminising process is cumulative it takes approximately 3/4 years to attain optimum development from which point you need to keep taking a lower maintenance dose to prevent regression which is the equivalent of post-menopausal women taking HRT.
If you suddenly stop taking female hormones you will suffer headaches as your oestrogen (estrogen) levels drop just as in a female prior to their periods and at the onset of the menopause.
A side benefit of taking oestrogen is that it improves your skin reducing the size of pores and reducing acne and pimples. Skin gradually become softer and smoother. Some experience hot flushes when commencing treatment making getting a good nights sleep difficult in which case taking melatonin will help through this temporary period.
Taking oestrogen can lead to weight gain as it increases levels of ghrelin which is why we offer Reductamin weight loss tablets to counteract this. Although women have some testosterone in their system produced by their adrenal glands it is a fraction of the level in males which is why taking a male hormone blocker referred to as anti-androgens alongside any female hormones is so essential.
Most males who take oestrogen based treatments gradually look younger but unfortunately it does not lead you to live any longer. Taking female hormones may increase your levels of oxytomin which will leads to affectionate feelings in relationships when you bond with your chosen partner.
Remember never to exceed the stated dosage as all you are doing is wasting your money. All dosages are determined to achieve the optimum results.
Whatever your age or medical condition there is a delivery method for both female hormones and anti-androgens that is clinically safe and effective for you to use by as all treatments are cumulative you have to commit to a continuous regime if you are to attain your desired level of male to female development.

Optimistic projection for Macau and Las Vegas
Casino News	October 22, 2020	by admin
The billionaire boss of American casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corporation has reportedly expressed optimism regarding the post-coronavirus futures of the gaming markets in Las Vegas and Macau.
According to a report from CDC Gaming Reports, 87-year-old Sheldon Adelson (pictured) serves as the casino firm's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and made his views known during a conference call to discuss its third-quarter financial results. The source moreover detailed that company behind the 3,000-room The Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas has now become the first of the industry's major players to have released its numbers for the three-month period marred by a raft of temporary coronavirus-related closures.
Extensive portfolio:
Las Vegas Sands Corporation is responsible for The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in southern Nevada while its Sands China Limited subsidiary operates Macau's The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao, Sands Macao and The Parisian Macao properties. This latter entity also runs the Marina Bay Sands facility in Singapore and has nearly finished a $2.2 billion project that is transforming its giant Sands Cotai Central development into the new-look The Londoner Macao.
Adelson reportedly declared…
"I remain steadfast in my belief that Macau has the potential to become one of the greatest business and leisure tourism destinations in the world. We are as confident as ever in the strength of our business model and the eventual recovery in travel and tourism spending in our markets."
Disappointing financials:
Regarding the third-quarter results and Las Vegas Sands Corporation reportedly explained that its overall net loss had grown to $565 million as aggregated cashflow plummeted by 120.7% year-on-year to a deficit of $250 million. The Las Vegas-headquartered firm furthermore purportedly revealed that combined revenues for the three months to the end of September had dropped by 82% to $586 million with its businesses in Macau and Las Vegas suffering through 92% and 62.6% reductions to $167 million and $152 million respectively.
Positive perseverance:
However, Adelson reportedly told investors that his firm's balance sheet still contains $2.38 billion in cash, $3.95 billion in available credit and approximately $13.89 billion in debt facilities. He later purportedly added that the operator fully intends to continue with some $5.5 billion in planned development projects for its venues in Singapore and Macau.
Adelson reportedly proclaimed…
"The Macau results are not representative of our current business trajectory, as the resumption of visa issuance across all provinces in China only commenced towards the end of September. The initial stages of recovery since then have been very encouraging."

No. Everybody is close minded about something.
Zack Be Gone - All Hail Firebrand.
I am at least. I don't know about these other people.
scumoftheearth
They say that they are, but in reality most everybody is closed-minded.
judgebill
I think we all have been filled with opinions and judgments supplied by our parents, the press, TV and everything else we hear and read. So when we are asked to judge something we revert to our pre-conditioning, without, in many cases, giving a lot of original and critical thinking to the subject. But if we're willing to pause and seriously consider what we are being asked to judge, we can be more open and honest. The trouble is that often it is easier to give the "automatic" and conditioned response rather than a more thoughtful one. So yes, most of us have been taught to close our minds but we all have the potential for open thought.

No I don't. Most say they are but deep down they are already set in their ways and have their own values and thoughts, most acquired when they are younger, and they don't change and have no intention of changing. They rarely accept new ideas or methods, or new people if they are different from ones they usually know.

No! I think the last presidential election said volumes. It's not so much that people are closed minded as that the news they receive is slanted/ skewed to one political party or another. We are not receiving the unbiased truth from the 4th branch. We are receiving whatever makes sensational/ controversial news stories whether made up or truth.

\section{Introduction}

Coherently coupled quantum dots allow the experimental investigation
of electron transport through delocalized orbitals and the associated
coherent superpositions.  The latter are visible in the charging
diagram of double or triple quantum dots as broadened lines between
regions in which an electron is localized in the one or the other dot.
The consequence for the current-voltage characteristics is that
Coulomb steps discern into multiple steps, each corresponding to an
orbital that enters the voltage window.\cite{Gaudreau2006a,
Schroer2007a, Onac2006a, Taubert2008a} When coupled quantum dots are
arranged in a ring configuration as sketched in Fig.~\ref{fig:setup},
electrons can proceed in two ways from the source to the
drain.\cite{Gustavsson2006a, Rogge2008a}  Then interference effects
emerge, provided that the tunneling is coherent.  For cetain phases of
the tunnel matrix element, a superposition decoupled from the drain is
formed such that an electron may become trapped in the
interferometer.\cite{Michaelis2006a, Emary2007b, Busl2010a,Busl2010b}
Owing to Coulomb repulsion, these so-called dark states block the
electron transport.  Detuning the energy of one of the dots forming
the superposition resolves this blockade, but leads to temporal
trapping by off-resonant tunneling to and from  the detuned dot.  This
leads to avalanche-like transport with super-Poissonian
noise.\cite{Emary2007b, Dominguez2010a}
\begin{figure}[b]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{setup.eps}
\end{center}
\caption {\label{fig:setup}
Triple quantum dot in ring configuration with mutual tunnel couplings
$\tau$.  Dots~1 and 3 possess onsite energies $\epsilon_{1,3} = 0$ and
are tunnel coupled to the source and the drain, respectively.  Dot~2
interacts with a damped vibrational mode with frequency $\omega_0$,
while its onsite energy can be tuned by a gate voltage such that
$\epsilon_2 = V_{\rm gate}/e$. Dot~2 has a vibrational degree of
freedom, while dots~1 and~3 are rigidly attached to the contacts.}
\end{figure}

The natural enemy of interference is decoherence, i.e., the loss of
the quantum mechanical phase.  The common scenario for this process is
that the considered system interacts with environmental degrees of
freedom and, thus, becomes entangled with them.  Then tracing out the
environment diminishes interference and the system tends to behave
classically.  A frequently employed model for describing decoherence
is the linear coupling of a central system to a bath of harmonic
oscillators representing, e.g., phonons or photons.
\cite{Magalinskii1959a, Caldeira1983a, Leggett1987a, Hanggi1990a}
Owing to the linearity of both the bath and its coupling to the
system, the former can be eliminated\cite{Feynman1963a} yielding a
master equation or a path integral description of the now dissipative
central system.  If decoherence stems from the coupling to fermionic
baths such as nuclear spins or defects, a spin bath model is more
appropriate.\cite{Stamp1988a, Shao1998a, Prokofev2000a}  Electron spin
decoherence is can be induced by hyperfine interaction of an electron
placed in a single \cite{Yao2007a} or double quantum dot, where
decoherence affects spin blockade regime.\cite{Dominguez2009a}

A slightly different scenario is the so-called ``third-party decoherence''
\cite{Stamp2006a} in which a quantum system couples via a further
small quantum system to a bath consisting of many degrees of
freedom.  A particular case is the coupling of the quantum system via
a harmonic oscillator to a bath of harmonic oscillators.  This
system-oscillator-bath model is equivalent to a system-bath model with
a spectral density peaked at the oscillator
frequency,\cite{Wilhelm2004a, Thorwart2004a, Goorden2004a}  unless
nonlinearities of the oscillator are taken into
account.\cite{Vierheilig2009a}

Here we investigate how destructive interference in a triple quantum
dot interferometer is modified by the coupling to a dissipative
harmonic oscillator.  We focus on the regime of weak dot-lead
tunneling in which a master equation description is appropriate.
Nevertheless, the electron dynamics may exhibit non-Markovian effects
stemming from the coupling to the oscillator.  Therefore, it is
technically advantageous not to eliminate the oscillator but to treat
ii as part of the central system.

Our paper is organized as follows. In Sec.~\ref{sec:model} we
introduce the phonon-system-lead Hamiltonian and derive a quantum
master equation with which we investigate in Sec.~\ref{sec:numerics}
the impact of decoherence on the current and its noise.
Section~\ref{sec:limits} is devoted to an effective master equation
for only the dot electrons based on a polaron transformation.  Some
technical details of the derivation of the effective master equation
and the computation of the oscillator correlation function are
deferred to the appendix.

\section{Triple quantum dot in ring configuration}
\label{sec:model}

We consider three quantum dots in the ring configuration sketched in
Fig.~\ref{fig:setup}.  The electronic part consists of three quantum
dots that are mutually tunnel coupled.  Since we will focus on
decoherence effects stemming from the interaction with a phonon mode,
we neglect the spin degree of freedom.  Moreover, we restrict
ourselves to the limit of strong inter-dot and intra-dot Coulomb
repulsion such that only the states with zero or one excess electron
on the ring are relevant.  Thus, the only relevant states are the
empty state $|0\rangle$ and the one-electron states $|i\rangle =
c_i^\dagger|0\rangle$, where $i=1,2,3$ refers to the dot on which the
electron resides and $c_i^\dagger$ is the associated electron creation
operator.  Then the electronic part of the Hamiltonian reads
\begin{align}
H_\text{TQD} = \sum_{i=1}^3 \epsilon_i n_i
+\tau \sum_{i> j} (c_i^\dagger c_j + \text{h.c.}) \,,
\label{eq:TQD}
\end{align}
where $\tau$ is the tunnel matrix element between dots $i$ and $j$,
and $n_i=c_i^\dagger c_i$ the occupation number of the dot~$i$.
We consider the situation in which dots 1 and 3 are degenerate and
possess onsite energies $\epsilon_1=\epsilon_3=0$.  By contrast dot~2,
placed in one path of the interferometer, shall be tunable
by a gate voltage such that $\epsilon_2 = eV_\text{gate}$.
In order to include the Aharonov-Bohm phase produced
by a flux $\Phi$ through the ring,\cite{Aharonov1959a} we multiply the
operators for clockwise tunneling by $e^{i\phi}$, while
counter-clockwise tunnel matrix elements acquire the factor
$e^{-i\phi}$, where $\phi = 2\pi\Phi/\Phi_0$ with the flux quantum
$\Phi_0 = h/2e$.

Dots 1 and 3 are tunnel coupled to metallic leads which is described by
the Hamiltonians
\begin{align}
H_\text{leads}
=& \sum_{\ell,k} \epsilon_{\ell k} c_{\ell k}^{\dagger}c_{\ell k},
\label{eq:ereservoir}
\\
H_\text{dot-leads} =& \sum_k (V_{L k} c_{L k}^\dagger c_1
                           +V_{R k} c_{ R k}^\dagger c_3 +\text{h.c.}),
\label{eq:saltos}
\end{align}
where $c_{\ell k}^\dagger$ and $c_{\ell k}$, $\ell = L,R$, create and
annihilate an electron in left and in the right lead, respectively.
The tunnel matrix elements $V_{\ell k}$ enter only via their spectral
density $\Gamma_\ell = 2\pi \sum_k |V_{\ell k}|^2
\delta(\epsilon-\epsilon_{\ell k})$ which we assume to be independent
of the energy $\epsilon$.  Then $\Gamma_\ell$ is the tunnel rate
between lead $\ell$ and the respective dot.

\subsection{Electron-phonon interaction}

An electron on dot~2 interacts linearly with a localized
 phonon mode according to \cite{Brandes2003a}
\begin{align}
&H_\text{ph} =\hbar\omega_0 a^\dagger a ,\\
&V_\text{e-ph}=\lambda c_2^\dagger c_2 (a^{\dagger}+a) ,
\label{eq:intep}
\end{align}
which can be interpreted as a dynamical energy shift.  In turn, an
electron on dot~2 entails a force on the oscillator, such that the
latter acquires information about the path that an electron takes on
its way from source to drain.  Such ``which way information''
influences interference properties.  Notice that we treat the coupling
energy $\lambda$ as parameter despite the fact that it can be
determined from microscopic considerations.\cite{Brandes2003a}

Dissipation of the localized phonon mode $a$ stems from the interaction
with a bosonic environment such as substrate phonons.  The
environment and its coupling to mode $a$ are described by the
system-bath Hamiltonian
\begin{align}
H_\text{env} =& \sum_\nu\hbar \omega_\nu a_\nu^{\dagger}a_\nu,
\label{eq:sm}
\\
H_D =& (a^\dagger+a) \sum_\nu \lambda_\nu (a_\nu^{\dagger}+ a_\nu) ,
\label{eq:damping}
\end{align}
where $a_\nu$ and $a_\nu^{\dagger}$ are the creation and annihilation
operators of the bath modes, while $\lambda_\nu$ are the coupling
constants.  The influence of the environment is fully determined by its
spectral density $I(\omega) = \pi \sum_\nu |\lambda_\nu|^2
\delta(\omega-\omega_\nu)$, which we assume to be Ohmic,
i.e., $I(\omega) = \gamma\omega$, where $\gamma$ denotes the effective
damping rate.

\subsection{Quantum master equation}

In order to derive a master equation for the dissipative dynamics of
the triple quantum dot and the localized mode, we start from the
Liouville-von Neumann equation for the full density operator,
$i\hbar\dot R =[H_{\text{tot}},R]$,
where $H_{\text{tot}}$ is the sum of all the Hamiltonians appearing above.
  Using standard techniques,\cite{Blum1996a} we
obtain for the reduced density operator the equation of motion
\begin{align}
\label{ME-rho}
\dot \rho
={} & -\frac{i}{\hbar}[ H_0, \rho]
\nonumber
\\ &-\frac{1}{\hbar^2}
   \tr_\text{leads+bath} \int_0^\infty d t
  [H_V,[\tilde H_V(-t), R]]
\\
\equiv{} & \mathcal{L}\rho ,
\end{align}
which can be evaluated under the factorization assumption $R \approx
\rho_{\text{leads},0} \otimes \rho_{\text{bath},0} \otimes\rho$.
We have defined $H_0 = H_\text{TQD} +H_\text{ph} +V_\text{e-ph}$.
The tilde denotes the interaction picture with respect to the
Hamiltonian $H_0 + H_\text{\text{leads}}+H_\text{\text{bath}}
$, i.e., $\tilde X(t) = U_0^\dagger(t) X U_0(t)$.
The coupling of the central system to the leads and the heat bath
has been subsumed in the interaction Hamiltonian $H_V =
H_\text{dot-leads} + H_D$.

We insert $H_\text{dot-leads}$ and $H_{D}$ and evaluate the trace of
the electron and phonon reservoirs to obtain the Liouvillian
\cite{Armour2002a, Gurvitz1996a}
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\mathcal{L}\rho
=& -\frac{i}{\hbar}[ H_0, \rho]
   -\frac{\Gamma_L}{\hbar} (2 c_1\rho c_1^{\dagger}-c^{\dagger}_1
    c_1\rho-\rho c^{\dagger}_1c_1)
\\
& -\frac{\Gamma_R}{\hbar} (2 c_3\rho c_3^{\dagger}-c^{\dagger}_3
   c_3\rho-\rho c^{\dagger}_3c_3 )
\\
& +\frac{\gamma}{2}(\bar n+1)(2a\rho a^{\dagger}-a^{\dagger}a \rho
  -\rho a^{\dagger}a)
\\
& + \frac{\gamma}{2}\bar n (2 a^{\dagger}\rho a-aa^{\dagger}\rho
  -\rho a a^{\dagger}) ,
\label{eq:TrME}
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where $\bar n = [\exp(\hbar\omega_0/k_BT)-1]^{-1}$ is the thermal
occupation number of the localized mode at temperature $T$.
Restricting ourselves to the limit in which all dot states lie within
the voltage window, we have replaced the Fermi function of the left
lead by 1 and that of the right lead by 0.  Only in this limit, the
dot-lead tunnel terms proportional to $\Gamma_{L,R}$ assume this
simple form.  Moreover, we consider the oscillator dissipation within
rotating-wave approximation.\cite{Gardiner2004a}

In order to obtain a current operator in the reduced Hilbert space, we
start from the definition of the current as the change of the charge
in the right lead $e N_R$.  The according current operator $\mathcal{J} =
(ie/\hbar)[H_{\text{tot}},N_R]$ still depends on lead operators.  These are
eliminated within the same approximations that yield the master
equation~\eqref{eq:TrME}.  The result can be separated into two
contributions, $\mathcal{J}^+$ and $\mathcal{J}^-$, which describe
electron tunneling from the triple quantum dot to the right lead and
back, respectively.\cite{on_currentoperator}\nocite{Kaiser2007a} In
the present case of unidirectional transport, $\mathcal{J}^-=0$, while
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{J}^+ = \frac{e\Gamma_3}{\hbar} c_3^{\dagger}\rho c_3 .
\end{equation}
Then the stationary current expectation value reads
\begin{equation}
\label{current}
I = \tr\mathcal{J}^+\rho_\infty ,
\end{equation}
where $\rho_\infty$ denotes the stationary solution of the master
equation \eqref{eq:TrME}.

Further information about the transport process is provided by the
zero-frequency noise $S$ which is essentially the rate at which the
charge variance in one lead changes, i.e., $S =
\lim_{t\to\infty}\langle\Delta Q_R^2\rangle/t$.  It can be computed in the
same way as the stationary current but with $N_R$ replaced by $N_R^2$.
For unidirectional transport, one obtains\cite{Novotny2004a}
\begin{equation}
S = e\tr\mathcal{J}^+\rho_\infty - 2e\tr\mathcal{J}^+
{\hat{\mathcal{L}}}^{-1}\mathcal{J}^+\rho_\infty ,
\end{equation}
where ${\hat{\mathcal{L}}}^{-1}$ is the pseudo-inverse of $\mathcal{L}$, whose
action on $\mathcal{L}\rho_\infty \equiv X$ is computed by solving
$\mathcal{L}X = \mathcal{J}^+\rho_\infty$ under the condition $\tr
X=0$.  Below we will always discuss the noise strength in relation to
the current.  This motivates the definition of the Fano factor $F =
S/eI$, which assumes the value $F=1$ for a Poisson process.

For a numerical solution, we will have to truncate the Hilbert space
of the localized phonon mode at some maximal phonon number $N$.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, truncation at $N=20$ ensured
numerical convergence.

\section{Transport properties: numerical results}
\label{sec:numerics}

In order to outline the behavior of the triple dot under the influence
of the dissipative phonon, we investigate numerically two situations.
In the first one, all dots are in resonance, such that a dark state
blocks transport.  The second one is that of a strongly detuned dot~2,
in which the blocking becomes imperfect.  We also consider a magnetic
flux through the triple quantum dot for ascertaining interference.

\subsection{All dots in resonance}

\begin{figure}[tb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{oscilaciones.eps}
\end{center}
\caption {\label{Fig.oscilaciones}
Current at zero detuning, $\epsilon_2=0$, as a function of the scaled
magnetic flux $\phi$ for two values of the phonon damping strengths
$\gamma$ compared to the current in the absence of the phonon
($\lambda=0$).  The dot-lead tunneling rate is $\Gamma =0.1\omega_0$.
In the non-interacting case, the current drops to zero at semi-integer
values of the quantum flux. The Aharonov-Bohm amplitude is reduced by
the phonon-mediated decoherence of the dark state.}
\end{figure
For a small gate voltage such that $|\epsilon_2| \ll \tau$ all three
dots are near resonance, and therefore interference is important.  For
the present configuration in which all three inter-dot tunnel couplings
are equal, it has been shown that for $\epsilon_2=0$ an electron is
trapped in the superposition\cite{Michaelis2006a, Emary2007b}
\begin{equation}
|\Psi_{\text{dark}}\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|1\rangle-|2\rangle).
\label{eq:darkwf}
\end{equation}
Obviously, it is orthogonal to state $|3\rangle$ and, thus, is
decoupled from the drain.  This implies that once an electron
populates state \eqref{eq:darkwf}, it cannot leave the triple dot.
Since Coulomb repulsion inhibits further electrons from entering the
dots, the current vanishes.  At zero flux, $\phi=0$, the two paths
$|1\rangle \rightarrow |3\rangle$ and $|1\rangle \rightarrow
|2\rangle\rightarrow |3\rangle$ interfere destructively at the
drain.\cite{Michaelis2006a, Emary2007b}  If $\phi$ is changed, a
finite current flows, unless $\phi$ assumes a semi-integer
value,\cite{Emary2007b, Busl2010a} as is visible from the
Aharonov-Bohm oscillations depicted in Fig.~\ref{Fig.oscilaciones}.
Figure~\ref{Fig.oscilaciones} also shows that when coupling dot~2 to
the oscillator, Aharonov-Bohm oscillations fade out with increasing
dissipation strength $\gamma$, which is a signature for the influence
of decoherence.  Moreover, it can be seen that this fading can be read
off faithfully at $\phi=0$ and, thus, henceforth we restrict ourselves
to this value.

\begin{figure}[tb]

\caption {\label{Fig.current} Current as a function of the detuning

while the dissipation strength is $\gamma=0.05\omega_0$.  The
temperatures are (a) $T=0 $ and (b) $T=1.5\hbar\omega_0/k_B$.  Insets:

\end{figure
The insets of Fig.~\ref{Fig.current} show the current as a function of
the detuning for various electron-phonon coupling strengths $\lambda$
and two different temperatures for small detuning.  An interesting
observation is that with increasing electron phonon coupling (see
insets of Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}), the minimal current not only grows,
but also is shifted from $\epsilon_2=0$ to the value $\epsilon_2 =
\lambda^2/\hbar\omega_0$.  This shift can be
obtained by a polaron transformation, as we will detail in
Sec.~\ref{sec:limits}.  This motivates us to henceforth plot the
current as a function of the renormalized detuning
$\epsilon=\epsilon_2-\lambda^2/\hbar\omega_0$.

as in Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}a.  The dotted lines mark the results
obtained with the reduced master equation \eqref{eq:effdeco}.}

state. The dotted lines are obtained with the reduced master
equation~\eqref{eq:effdeco} for the dot electrons.  All other
parameters are as in Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}.}
\end{figure}
Figures~\ref{Fig.dark-lambda}a and \ref{Fig.dark-temp} show the
current as a function of the electron-phonon coupling and the
temperature, respectively, for a detuning $\epsilon=0$ which
corresponds to the dark state.  Both plots confirm that the current
blockade is resolved with increasing electron-phonon coupling and
temperature, underlining the growing importance of decoherence.  The
current saturates at the value $I_D \approx 0.02e\Gamma/\hbar$, as a
function of the electron-phonon coupling $\lambda$; see
Fig.~\ref{Fig.dark-temp}a.  A similar behavior has been found for an
interferometer that consists of two quantum dots.\cite{Marquardt2003a}
Figures~\ref{Fig.dark-lambda}b depicts the associated current noise in
terms of the Fano factor.  Starting at the super-Poissonian value
$F=3$, the Fano factor reduces towards $F\approx 1$, indicating a
transition from avalanche-like transport to a Poisson process.

\subsection{Dot 2 far from resonance}

When dot~2 is strongly detuned, i.e., for $|\epsilon_2| \gg \tau$,
tunneling from and to this dot becomes off-resonant.  Then the direct
path from dot~1 to dot~3 is much more likely than the detour via
dot~2.  Then without the oscillator, we expect interference effects to
play a minor role.  Nevertheless, electrons may be trapped in dot~2
such that the current flow is interrupted until the trapped electron
tunnels off-resonantly to dot~3 and transport is restored.
Consequently, the electron transport becomes
bunched.\cite{Dominguez2010a} The current plotted in
Fig.~\ref{Fig.current} demonstrates that this scenario needs to be
refined when the electron on dot~2 couples to a vibrational mode,
because then temporal electron trapping can be caused also by
emission and absorption of phonons.  This leads to dips and peaks in
the current whenever $\epsilon_2$ is detuned by roughly an integer multiple of
$\hbar\omega_0$.  For finite temperature and negative detuning
(Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}b for $\epsilon_2<0$), the dips are caused by
the predominating phonon emission, while those for positive detuning
are due to the a more frequent absorption.  The different size of the
peaks and dips for positive and negative values of $\epsilon$
(Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}b) stems from spontaneous processes which
render emission more likely than absorption.  In the zero temperature
limit (Fig.~\ref{Fig.current}a), phonon absorption no longer occurs
and consequently, the dips at positive detuning vanish.  Then small
peaks emerge, which correspond to the relaxation of electrons that
temporally populate in dot~2.

\section{Elimination of the dissipative phonon}
\label{sec:limits}

In order to obtain a reduced master equation for the triple quantum
dot, we eliminate the phonon via a polaron transformation under a
weak-coupling assumption.\cite{Brandes1999a, Brandes2003a} This
converts the electron-phonon coupling into a renormalized inter-dot
tunneling and additional dissipative terms.  In order to keep
decoherence effects stemming from the phonon-bath coupling, we have to
apply this transformation also to those terms of the master equation
\eqref{eq:TrME} that describe phonon dissipation.

\subsection{Polaron transformation}

We start with the unitary transformation\cite{Mahan1990a,
Brandes1999a} $O \to \bar O = SOS^\dagger$ of the master
equation~\eqref{eq:TrME}, where
\begin{align}
\label{polaron}
S=\exp\left[\frac{\lambda}{\hbar\omega_0}n_2(a^\dagger-a)\right].
\end{align}
This corresponds to the replacements
\begin{align}
\label{polaron:a}
a \to{} & a - \frac{\lambda}{\hbar\omega_0}n_2 ,
\\
\label{polaron:c2}
c_2 \to{} & c_2 X^\dagger
\end{align}
with the phonon displacement operator
\begin{equation}
\label{displacement}
X = \exp\Big[\frac{\lambda}{\hbar\omega_0}(a^\dagger-a) \Big] .
\end{equation}
Notice that all lead and bath operators remain unchanged.  The
Hamiltonian $H_0$ of the dot electrons and the phonon then reads
\begin{equation}
\bar H_{0}
= \epsilon \widehat n_2
  +\tau(c_{1}^\dagger c_3+c_{2}^\dagger c_3X
            +c_{1}^\dagger c_2X^{\dagger} + \text{h.c.})
  +\hbar \omega_0 a^{\dagger}a,
\label{eq:imint}
\end{equation}
where $\epsilon=\epsilon_2-\lambda^2/\hbar\omega_0$ denotes the
effective detuning.

The form \eqref{eq:imint} of the system Hamiltonian allows us to
eliminate the phonon within second-order perturbation theory in the
interdot tunneling.  Then we obtain a master equation for the electron
operators which still depends on electron-oscillator correlations.
Next, the phonon is traced out under the assumption that the polaron
transformation captures most of these correlations, such that the
density operators in the polaron picture factorizes, $\rho = \rho_{e}
\otimes\rho_\text{ph}$.  A similar route has been already taken in
Refs.~\onlinecite{Brandes1999a, Brandes2003a}; it is equivalent to the
non-interacting blip approximation common in quantum
dissipation.\cite{Dekker1987a, Dekker1987b, Morillo1993a}  Here we
only discuss the resulting master equation, while details of the
derivation are provided in Appendix~\ref{app:effective}.

The resulting quantum master equation contains the effective dot
Hamiltonian
\begin{equation}
\label{Hdot,eff}
H_\text{TQD,eff} = \epsilon n_2
+ \tau (c_1^\dagger c_3 +\text{h.c.})
+ \bar\tau(c_2^\dagger c_3 + c_1^\dagger c_2 +\text{h.c.}) ,
\end{equation}
where the electron tunneling between dot~2 and the two other quantum
dots is renormalized according to
\begin{equation}
\tau \to \bar\tau
= \tau \langle X\rangle=\tau \exp\Big\{ -\Big|\frac{\lambda}{\omega_0}\Big|^2
  \coth\Big(\frac{\hbar\omega_0}{2k_BT}\Big) \Big\}.
\end{equation}
Besides this renormalization, two additional Liouvillians emerge.  The
first one describes decoherence of the dark state, leading to a
small residual current.  It is directly obtained by the replacement
\eqref{polaron:a} in the last two terms of the master equation
\eqref{eq:TrME} and reads
\begin{align}
\mathcal{L}_\text{dec}\rho_e
= \frac{\gamma}{2}(1 + 2\bar n)\Big(\frac{\lambda}{\hbar\omega_0}\Big)^2
  (2 n_2\rho_e  n_2- n_2\rho_e-\rho_e n_2),
\label{eq:decohph}
\end{align}
where we have used the operator relation $n_2^2=n_2$.
We will further analyze the corresponding decoherence mechanism in
Sec.~\ref{sec:dec-mechanism}.  The second Liouvillian stems from the
double commutator in the Bloch-Redfield master equation
\eqref{eq:secorder} and describes incoherent tunneling between the
quantum dots,
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\mathcal{L}_\text{ict} \rho_e
=& -\Big(\frac{\tau}{\hbar}\Big)^2 \left\{ \Big(C_{-\epsilon}
       \left(n_1+n_3\right) + 2 n_2 C_{\epsilon}
    \Big) \rho_e +\text{h.c.} \right\}
\\ &
   +2\Big(\frac{\tau}{\hbar}\Big)^2 \big\{
        C_{-\epsilon}' c_2^\dagger c_3\rho_e c_3^\dagger c_2
       +C_{-\epsilon}' c_2^\dagger c_1\rho_e c_1^\dagger c_2
\\ &
       +C_{\epsilon}' c_1^\dagger c_2\rho_e c_2^\dagger c_1
       +C_{\epsilon}' c_3^\dagger c_2\rho_e c_2^\dagger c_3 \Big\},
\end{split}
\label{eq:liouvcorr}
\end{equation}
where $C_{\epsilon} \equiv C_\epsilon' +iC_\epsilon''$ denotes the
phonon correlation function in Laplace space, derived in
Appendix~\ref{app:corrfunct}.
This incoherent inter-dot tunneling is responsible for the current
dips and peaks at the resonances $\epsilon=n\hbar\omega_0$ observed in
Figs.~\ref{Fig.current} and \ref{Fig.teo}.  It occurs with the rates
$2(\tau/\hbar)^2 C_{\epsilon}'$ (between dots 1 and 3) and
$2(\tau/\hbar)^2 C_{-\epsilon}'$ (between dot 2 and dots 1,3),
respectively, which is in accordance with
$P(E)$-theory.\cite{Ingold1992a, Brandes2005a}

In summary, the effective master equation for the triple quantum dot
under the influence of a dissipative phonon and with the coupling to
the leads reads
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\dot\rho_e = &
-\frac{i}{\hbar}[H_\text{TQD,eff},\rho_e]+
\mathcal{L}_\text{dec}\rho_e+\mathcal{L}_\text{ict}\rho_e
\\ &
   -\frac{\Gamma_L}{\hbar} (2 c_1\rho_e c_1^{\dagger}-c^{\dagger}_1
    c_1\rho_e-\rho_e c^{\dagger}_1c_1)
\\ &
-\frac{\Gamma_R}{\hbar} (2 c_3\rho_e c_3^{\dagger}-c^{\dagger}_3
   c_3\rho_e-\rho_e c^{\dagger}_3c_3) .
\end{split}
\label{eq:effdeco}
\end{equation}

Numerical calculations provide evidence that $\mathcal{L}_\text{ict}$
is not relevant for the bahavior of the dark state (see
Fig.~\ref{Fig.dark-lambda}).  Thus, close to
$\epsilon=0$, we can neglect $\mathcal{L}_\text{ict}$ in the master
equation \eqref{eq:effdeco}, and then we obtain to lowest order in
$\tau$ the stationary current
\begin{widetext}
\begin{align}
\label{I:polaron}
I_D\approx\frac{4\Gamma\left(4g_1(\tau^2-\bar\tau^2\right)^2+g_1g_2\tau^2\Gamma_D+g_2\bar\tau^2\Gamma\Gamma_D}{\Gamma(2\Gamma+3\Gamma_D)(4g_1\bar\tau^2+g_2\Gamma\Gamma_D)+4\tau^2\left(2\Gamma^3+7\Gamma^2\Gamma_D+12\Gamma\Gamma_D^2+8\Gamma_D^3\right)},
\end{align}
\end{widetext}
with $g_1=\Gamma+2\Gamma_D$, $g_2=\Gamma+\Gamma_D$, and
the effective dissipation rate $\Gamma_D= (\frac{1}{2} +\bar
n)\gamma(\lambda/\hbar\omega_0)^2$.  The validity of this result close
to the dark state is investigated with
Figs.~\ref{Fig.dark-lambda} and \ref{Fig.dark-temp}.  The agreement is
rather good for any coupling constant $\lambda$ and temperature.
The according result for the Fano factor
also fits well (see Fig.~\ref{Fig.dark-lambda}b).  A comparison in a broad
range of detunings, shown in Fig.~\ref{Fig.teo}, demonstrates that
the approximation is globally valid.

$\tau=0.01\hbar\omega_0$ and $\Gamma=0.1\omega_0$.  The temperature
is(a) $T=0$ and (b) $T=1.5\hbar\omega_0/k_B$.}
\end{figure

\subsection{Decoherence mechanism}
\label{sec:dec-mechanism}

A physical picture of the electron decoherence can be developed by
considering the influence of the phonon on the dark
state~\eqref{eq:darkwf}.  This reasoning will also yield the
associated decoherence rate of the effective
Liouvillian~\eqref{eq:decohph}.

Let us assume that the electron resides in the dark state
$|\Psi_{\text{dark}}\rangle \propto |1\rangle-|2\rangle$.  Its time
evolution under the influence of the phonon is determined by the
interaction-picture Hamiltonian
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:intpic}
H_I(t)
=\lambda n_2(t) (a^\dagger e^{i\omega_0 t}+a e^{-i\omega_0 t}) .
\end{equation}
Since the electron dynamics is much slower than the oscillator, the
number operator $n_2$ is essentially time-independent.  Then
the time ordering in the corresponding time-evolution operator
\begin{equation}
U(t)=T_{\leftarrow}\exp\Big[-\frac{i}{\hbar} \int_0^t ds \, H_I(s)\Big]
\label{U.intpic}
\end{equation}
can be evaluated by employing the commutation
relation\cite{Breuer2003a}
\begin{equation}
[H_I(t),H_I(t')]=2i\lambda^2 n_2 \sin[\omega_0 (t-t')]
\end{equation}
from which we obtain the propagator
\begin{equation}
U(t)=\exp\left[-\frac{1}{2}\int_0^t ds \,ds'
     [H_I(s),H_I(s')]\theta(s-s') \right] V(t) .
\label{eq:ev}
\end{equation}
The operator
$V(t)= \exp\{n_2 [a^{\dagger}\alpha(t)-a \alpha(t)^*]\}$
describes an oscillator displacement by
\begin{equation}
\alpha(t)=\frac{\lambda}{\hbar \omega_0} (1-e^{i\omega_0 t}) ,
\end{equation}
while the integral of the commutator in Eq.~\eqref{U.intpic} is a mere
phasefactor which is not relevant for the subsequent discussion and
will be ignored.  Thus, the dark state evolves according to
\begin{equation}
U(t)|\Psi_\text{dark}\rangle
= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big(|1\rangle|0\rangle_\text{ph}
      -|2\rangle|\alpha(t) \rangle_\text{ph} \big) ,
\label{eq:transitory}
\end{equation}
which means that the oscillator turns into a cat state, i.e., a
superposition of two coherent states.  The coherence of such a state
is known to decay with the rate \cite{Caldeira1985a, Walls1985a}
$\Gamma_D(t) = (\gamma/2)(1+2\bar n)|\alpha(t)|^2$.  For weak
oscillator damping, $\gamma\ll\omega_0$, we can replace the rate by
its time-average \begin{equation} \Gamma_D = \frac{\gamma}{2} (1+2\bar
n) \bigg|\frac{\lambda}{\hbar\omega_0}\bigg|^2 .  \label{eq:decrate}
\end{equation} Notice that we do not trace out the electrons, but
consider the coherence of the electron-phonon compound.

Since each of the two involved phonon states is linked to a particular
electron state, we can attribute this decoherence process also to the
electrons.  Then we can conclude that the electron coherence also
decays with the rate~\eqref{eq:decrate}, which complies with the
actual rate in the effective Liouvillian Eq.~\eqref{eq:decohph}.
Thus, the phonon elimination described above is such that the
decoherence of an oscillator cat state directly turns into decoherence
of the dark state.

For larger inter-dot tunneling, $\tau\gtrsim\hbar\omega_0$, the
interaction-picture operator $n_2(t)$ can no longer be considered
time-independent, such that our reasoning has to be modified.
Moreover, if we would use a model in which also dot~1 couples to the
phonon, the dark electron state and the phonon state would factorize
and be $\propto (|1\rangle-|2\rangle) |\alpha(t)\rangle$.  Then no
phonon-induced decoherence would take place and, consequently, the
dark state would continue to block the electron transport.

\section{Conclusions}

We have investigated decoherence effects in a triple quantum dot
interferometer the stemming from the coupling to a single dissipative
bosonic mode.  In our model, the dots are arranged in a symmetric ring
configuration in which two dots couple to source and drain, while the
third dot interacts with a dissipative harmonic oscillator.  In the
absence of the oscillator, a strong detuning of the third dot leads to
electron trapping and bunching.  When all dots are close to resonance,
by contrast, interference effects dominate.  In particular, ideal
destructive interference may occur, such that the current vanishes
completely, even when all electronic energy levels lie within the
voltage window.

It turned out that the oscillator entails two effects: First, the
current minimum is found at a shifted detuning and, second,
destructive interference is no longer perfect, such that always a
finite current emerges.  This suspension of destructive interference
is also visible in the current noise measured in terms of the Fano
factor.  When the residual current is very small, i.e., for small
decoherence, the associated shot noise is enhanced, while transport
becomes almost Poissonian with stronger decoherence.

A qualitative understanding of these effects has been achieved by an
analytical approximation after a polaron transformation leading to a
reduced master equation for only the dot electrons.  Within a standard
treatment similar to the non-interacting blip approximation, we have
obtained an effective master equation for the electron transport.
Then it became possible to analytically obtain the current from the
resulting master equation also close to destructive interference.  The
results agree well with the full numerical results, provided that the
oscillator frequency is sufficiently large and the intra-dot tunneling
is small.  In turn, we can conclude that our reduced master equation
faithfully describes transport effects entailed by a dissipative mode.
Moreover, this picture provide evidence that the decoherence of an
oscillator cat state directly turns into decoherence of the dark
state.

In summary, our results underline the impact of already one phonon
mode on quantum dot interferometers.  With our reduced master equation
for the quantum dot electrons, we have put forward a method for
describing such systems efficiently after eliminating the oscillator.
Such a method is in particular welcome when the oscillator is only
weakly damped, since then an explicit treatment requires taking quite
a few oscillator states into account.

I love the last few weeks before Christmas. Such a fun and exciting time! We usually do an advent countdown of some sort, that involves doing a different activity each day. Here are 10 of my favorites from this years calendar.
~ Snag a few stocking stuffers, wrap them up, and hide them. Then make a series of clues (ours rhymed) and let them go at it! This has been my girls' favorite so far!
~ That's right folks, throw on some festive gear (santa hats, Christmas PJ's) and sing your favorite Christmas carol as a family. Don't forget to choreograph it and record it. Memories. Seriously funny memories.
~ Dip the kids' hands in green paint, stamp them on plain white paper over and over again in a circle shape (palms are on the inside of the wreath, finger tips toward the outsides). Have them dip their finger tips in red paint to make berries on the wreath. Voila.
~ PJ's, chocolate cocoa to go, and a pre-planned route to hit the best displays around time. Your kids will love you. I promise.

In today's workshop we are examinating technologies, applications and market aspects, concerning the main sectors of Maritime Surveillance as regards their examination of business attractiveness and complementarities among Maritime Surveillance and other industries.
We are devising tools to guide and monitor the development of the National Nodes and the launching of the MED MS Cluster, fostering the internationalization approach of the project; tools that will be applied and tested during the pilot activities of the project.


Seven in ten businesses struggle to unlock data's true potential because of a lack of control, leaving many businesses with untrusted data that undermines business innovation and customer interactions, new research from Experian has revealed.
Experian's Global Data Management report, which surveyed 1,000 data practitioners from organisations around the world, found that although three-quarters (75%) think responsibility for data should ultimately lie across multiple departments, with the occasional help from IT, only 13% are currently doing it.
Incorrect ownership (69%), lack of trust in data (49%) and information overload (65%) are the three key factors preventing businesses from leveraging data to achieve their strategic objectives. 95% also admit seeing detrimental effects from poor data quality, which could be negativelyaffecting customer experience, business efficiency and organisational reputation.
A lack of control over information impedes the ability of 70% of businesses to meet strategic objectives. The problem lies with who is responsible for managing data – 84% say information is processed by IT who have many other priorities than just data quality or analytics. As a result, more than half (56%) of companies say these teams don't have an understanding of the organisation's data management needs.

This repeated alarm does not ring after after a fixed time. Sometimes it rings after 2 minutes, sometimes after 7 minutes and so on..I don't want this, It is ruining my project. Below is my code, can you help me:
   Intent myIntent = new Intent(ReminderService.this, MyReceiver.class);
            int randomPIN = (int)(Math.random()*9000)+1000;
            pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ReminderService.this, randomPIN, myIntent,pendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
            AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
            alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() , pendingIntent);

MyReceiver.java:
  package app.aguai.medieazy;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{

@Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
   Intent service1 = new Intent(context, MyAlarmService.class);
   context.startService(service1);

 }

}

And My AlarmService.java:
public class MyAlarmService extends Service

{
 private NotificationManager mManager;

 @Override
 public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
 {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
 }

@Override
public void onCreate()
{
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   super.onCreate();
}

@SuppressWarnings("static-access")
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId)
{
   super.onStart(intent, startId);

   Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    int hour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    int min=c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    int sec=c.get(Calendar.SECOND);
    String currenttime= String.valueOf(hour)+" : "+String.valueOf(min)+" : "+String.valueOf(sec);

   PrescribedDB db=new PrescribedDB(getApplicationContext());
   Intent i=new Intent(MyAlarmService.this,ReminderPopUp.class);
   i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

   i.putExtra("name",db.getMed(currenttime));
   i.putExtra("time",currenttime);
   startActivity(i);
}

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onDestroy();
}

}

I have to launch this project tomorrow and this is the only small bug in my big project. Please help. Thanx.

Britain Unveils A New 1-Pound Coin
Published March 18, 2015 at 1:24 PM PDT
The new 1-pound coin is expected to be released by 2017.
The Royal Mint in the U.K. has unveiled a new 1-pound coin that it says will be the world's most counterfeit-proof coin.
The 12-sided coin, which is set to be released by 2017, will still feature a likeness of Queen Elizabeth II on one side. But the "tails side" will have a new design representing the four symbols of the U.K.: an English rose, a leek for Wales, a Scottish thistle and shamrock for Northern Ireland. They emerge from a single stem within a crown.
The new design was created by a 15-year-old schoolboy, David Pierce, who beat out more than 6,000 competitors. Other U.K.-themed entries included cups of tea, maps and a Rolling Stones logo.
The Independent says the new design is a break in tradition from the round, brass-colored coin that has been used for more than 30 years.
Besides a new look, the Royal Mint says the pound coin has a number of features to make it the most secure coin in the world. That includes the 12 sides, bi-metallic construction of two colors, and anti-counterfeiting technology that can be authenticated by high-speed, automated detection.
The Royal Mint estimates that about 3 percent of the 1-pound coins in circulation are counterfeit, a number that can rise as high as 6 percent in some parts of the U.K.
The Independent says the decision to replace the 1-pound coin came after police broke up an international smuggling ring that had flooded Britain with at least 30 million pounds (roughly $45 million) worth of fake coins.

Woman accused of DUI after fiery Minnesota crash
On behalf of Bauer Law Office | Aug 2, 2018 | Firm News
Those who have never been in a car crash may be unfamiliar with the effect that being involved in such an incident can have. While the physical implications are clear, some people are also affected emotionally — perhaps in ways that may manifest similarly to people who are under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, a woman in Minnesota has recently been charged with driving under the influence, DUI, following a recent fiery crash.
The incident happened one afternoon on a day in late July. According to reports, a car driven by a 55-year-old woman ran off of a Minnesota road. A woman who lives near the accident reportedly heard it and sent her husband to help while she called 911.
Reports claim that the man was able to pull the driver from the car before it became fully engulfed in flames. No injuries were reported. However, the woman was arrested, charged with third-degree driving while intoxicated.
It is unclear what prompted police officers to suspect the woman of DUI or what her blood alcohol content was at the time of the accident. However, an accident such as this could easily cause confusion and many other symptoms often associated with being under the influence of alcohol. Regardless of the accusations against the woman, she is presumed innocent under the law unless sufficient evidence is provided to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Because many people in Minnesota facing criminal charges are unfamiliar with the justice system, they may feel unprepared to adequately respond to the accusations they face. As a result, they often turn to an experienced criminal defense attorney to help them.
