it is also different from belief in many ways. So my seeing that the cup is yellow, being a kind of propositional attitude I take towards that proposition, can count as my reason for believing that the cup is yellow. I’ve thus got a reason for that belief, and it’s a good one. No sort of inference from a

Summary. Over the last twenty years, the financial industry has developed numerous tools for the quantitative measurement of risk. The need for this was mainly due to changing market conditions and regulatory guidelines. In this article we review these processes and summarize the most important risk categories considered. 1

A n academic Festschrift, as every reader of this volume knows, is a book honoring a respected scholar or scientist. It is usually published to cele- brate an important landmark in the honoree's life. In our case the honored academic is Henry L. (Roddy) Roediger, 111, a brilliant cognitive psychologist, mentor and teacher, friend and colleague. And the landmark, as far as I know, was the discovery in 2004 by Roddy's colleagues at Purdue, primarily Jim Nairne, that they had had the good fortune of having had a truly remarkable colleague in their very midst when Roddy was a faculty me~nber there. The discovery resulted in Roddy's being nominated for and abvarded an honorary doctor's degree by Purdue, followed by a scientific conference to celebrate his achievements, and now this volu~ne to record it for posterity. Wikipedia, the source of infinite knowledge and wisdom in our day and age, offering an explication of the term, declares that "A Festschrift can be anything from a slim volume to a work in several volumes. It often includes important contributions to scholarship of science. " Please note that the operative word in this pithy definition is "often. " Often means "not always. " An appropriate elaborative emendation of Wikipedia's definition would say that a Festscllrift frequently

The quantum search algorithm consists of an alternating sequence of selective inversions and diffusion type operations, as a result of which it can find a target state in an unsorted database of size N in only √ N queries. This paper shows that by replacing the selective inversions by selective phase shifts of π 3, the algorithm gets transformed into something similar to a classical search algorithm. Just like classical search algorithms the algorithm has a fixed point in state-space toward which it preferentially converges. In contrast, the quantum search algorithm moves uniformly in a two-dimensional state space. This feature leads to robust search algorithms and also to conceptually new schemes for error correction. 1
