description: Various studies have laid claim to finding an alignment of the polarization vectors or radio jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over large distances, but these results have proven controversial and so far, there is no clear explanation for this observed alignment. To investigate this case further, we tested the hypothesis that the position angles of radio galaxies are randomly oriented in the sky by using data from the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS). A sample of 7,555 double-lobed radio galaxies was extracted from the list of 318,520 radio sources in the first data release of LoTSS at 150 MHz. We performed statistical tests for uniformity of the two-dimensional (2D) orientations for the complete 7,555 source sample. We also tested the orientation uniformity in three dimensions (3D) for the 4,212 source sub-sample with photometric or spectroscopic redshifts. Our sample shows a significant deviation from uniformity (p-value < $10^{-5}$) in the 2D analysis at angular scales of about four degrees, mainly caused by sources with the largest flux densities. No significant alignment was found in the 3D analysis. Although the 3D analysis has access to fewer sources and suffers from uncertainties in the photometric redshift, the lack of alignment in 3D points towards the cause of the observed effect being unknown systematics or biases that predominantly affect the brightest sources, although this has yet to be demonstrated irrefutably and should be the subject of subsequent studies.

description: One century after Einstein's work, Brownian Motion still remains both a fundamental open issue and a continous source of inspiration for many areas of natural sciences. We first present a discussion about stochastic and deterministic approaches proposed in the literature to model the Brownian Motion and more general diffusive behaviours. Then, we focus on the problems concerning the determination of the microscopic nature of diffusion by means of data analysis. Finally, we discuss the general conditions required for the onset of large scale diffusive motion.

description: Traditionally, superconductors are categorized as type-I or type-II. Type-I superconductors support only Meissner and normal states, while type-II superconductors form magnetic vortices in sufficiently strong applied magnetic fields. Recently there has been much interest in superconducting systems with several species of condensates, in fields ranging from Condensed Matter to High Energy Physics. Here we show that the type-I/type-II classification is insufficient for such multicomponent superconductors. We obtain solutions representing thermodynamically stable vortices with properties falling outside the usual type-I/type-II dichotomy, in that they have the following features: (i) Pippard electrodynamics, (ii) interaction potential with long-range attractive and short-range repulsive parts, (iii) for an n-quantum vortex, a non-monotonic ratio E(n)/n where E(n) is the energy per unit length, (iv) energetic preference for non-axisymmetric vortex states, "vortex molecules". Consequently, these superconductors exhibit an emerging first order transition into a "semi-Meissner" state, an inhomogeneous state comprising a mixture of domains of two-component Meissner state and vortex clusters.

Mutant p53 melanoma cell lines respond differently to CP-31398-induced apoptosis
Creators: name: Ho, Clement Kar-Ming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: p53, a tumour suppressor gene, is considered the guardian of genome which governs several important biological functions including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis. Under normal conditions, p53 is tightly regulated and constitutively expressed at a low level. In human cancers, p53 is one of the most frequently mutated genes with over 50% of all human malignancies containing an altered p53 gene. Many strategies have been developed in light of restoring wild-type p53 functions to altered p53. Recently, a small pharmacological compound, CP-31398, was found through random screening to have the ability to promote proper p53 protein folding, activate p53 transcription of downstream targets, and slow tumor growth in mice. Additionally, CP-31398 was found to be able to convert mutant p53 to wild-type conformation in several cell lines. In this study, we sought to examine if CP-31398 can revert all mutant p53 proteins to wild-type function. We studied a series of apoptotic responses to CP-31398 in three melanoma cell lines with various p53 mutation status. Upon a moderate dose of CP-31398 treatment (15 μg mL⁻¹), only the wild-type p53 MMRU and the single p53 point mutation MeWo cells exhibited apoptosis. Another melanoma cell line, Sk-mel- 110, containing multiple p53 mutations did not exhibit apoptosis. Despite CP-31398 enhanced overall p53 protein level, its ability to promote proper folding of p53 protein was limited to CP-31398 sensitive MMRU and Me Wo cells. Although all cell lines showed an increased p21[Wafl] transcription, only sensitive cells showed an increased Bax and PUMA transcription, an altered mitochondrial membrane potential, followed by the release of cytochrome c, and cleaved caspases-9 and -3. We also demonstrated that Apaf-1, Fas and Fas-ligand were not involved in CP-31398 mediated apoptosis. In Summary, our results suggest that the ability of CP-31398 to revert mutant p53 proteins to wild-type conformation may be correlated to p53 mutation status. Mutant p53 reactivation by small molecules has an evident potential for the discovery of effective and specific anti-cancer drugs. To investigate p53 mutation-dependent in response to CP- 31398, further studies are required to explore the possibility of utilizing this compound as an anti-cancer therapeutic agent.
Effects of the parallel acceleration on heavy impurity transport in turbulent tokamak plasmas

description: A process specific to the dynamics of the heavy impurities in turbulent tokamak plasmas is found and analysed. We show that the parallel stochastic acceleration is strongly coupled to the perpendicular transport and generates a radial pinch velocity. The interaction is produced with the hidden drifts, a quasi-coherent component of the motion that consists of a pair of average radial velocities in opposite directions. The parallel acceleration breaks this symmetry and yields a radial average velocity that can be in the inward or outward direction. The transport of the tungsten ions in three-dimensional turbulence is analysed in the frame of a test particle model using numerical simulations. The results show that the acceleration induced pinch can be important for W impurity transport in present days tokamaks and in ITER.

description: The impact of group affiliation to agroholdings on enterprise performance in terms of productivity and efficiency is controversially discussed in the literature. However, only few papers evaluate the effects of group membership on the productivity and efficiency of agricultural enterprises in Russia. The underlying research question of this paper is therefore whether farms that belong to agroholdings perform better than independent farms. We calculate partial land and labor productivity, total factor productivity (TFP) and technical efficiency scores for the two categories of independent farms and members of agroholdings. In this paper a production function approach is estimated in the framework of stochastic frontier analysis. The results are used to decompose TFP into a technological change effect and a technical efficiency effect. The results show a different trend than observed in previous studies. We show that the growth of agroholdings’ TFP exceeds by far the development of the TFP of independent farms and that group affiliation has a positive impact on the performance of farms.

description: Birds of prey are commonly referred to as raptors, from the Latin raptor, a robber, andrapere, to seize, which refers to the manner in which they capture their prey (Olsen, 1995).The Family Accipitridae is usually placed in the Order Falconiformes, although it has beenplaced by some in a separate Order, Accipitriformes. The taxonomic position of the FamilyAccipitridae itself and the members of the family are the subject of ongoing debate, whichwill be discussed further in this thesis.The fossil record of the Family Accipitridae in Australia has not been studiedcomprehensively. Boles (1993) described a new species of hawk from the Riversleighdeposits. Prior to Boles (1993), de Vis contributed several papers on fossil accipitrids pre-1900. Since de Vis's time, more fossil material has been collected, but most has remainedunstudied.

description: The global trend of industrializing agriculture increasingly transforms farms and firms into specialized component suppliers within a multi-stage food processing chain, which creates intraindustry trade between- and within geographical regions. This can be analyzed within the framework of a hypothetical multiregional food-processing firm that benefits from outsourcing of various ‘tasks’ to other sub-contracting regions, in order to utilize lower production cost there. This paper demonstrates how this can be modeled as a multi-output cost minimization problem of the processing firm, and it is argued that with respect to agriculture, the outsourcing opportunities for the firm are determined by economies of diversification. Trade is implicitly reflected as the movement of intermediate factors towards the processing firm, and firm-level specialization of the sub-contractors is an observable outcome. This framework is applied to pig production in 1155 municipalities in southern Germany that can be interpreted as ‘almost firm-level’ data. The estimated multi-output production frontier is decomposed according to a primal measure of diversification economies. Results show that pig farms located closer to slaughterhouses tend to specialize more in one of the tasks ‘piglet production’, ‘rearing’ or ‘fattening’, while farms in regions distant from slaughterhouses tend to insource all of these tasks. Future research may extend the framework towards comparative static analyses of relevant policies.

description: The paper investigates the significance of external and internal transaction costs and risk in agriculture in the Tatarstan Republic. The analysis is conducted for independent farms and farms which are members of agroholdings. The result indicates that external transaction costs are more marked in independent farms than in agroholding members. However, average prices do not differ among the organisational forms. With regard to internal transaction costs (or inefficiency) the result is the opposite. Inefficiency in agroholding members is considerably higher than in independent farms. However, the estimation suggests that this result is due to more intense risk management in agroholding members. Thus, members of a business group have a more intense use of inputs; however, these are rather allocated to reduce uncertainty of production than to increase production.

Healthy ecosystems are those that are stable and sustainable, able to maintain their organization and autonomy over time while remaining resilient to stress (Costanza 1992). Healthy forests are vital to our future (Edmonds and others 2011), and consistent, large-scale, and long-term monitoring of key indicators of forest health status, change, and trends is necessary to identify forest resources deteriorating across large regions (Riitters and Tkacz 2004). The Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) Program of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, with cooperating researchers within and outside the Forest Service and with State partners, quantifies status and trends in the health of U.S. forests. The analyses and results outlined in sections 1 and 2 of this FHM annual national report offer a snapshot of the current condition of U.S. forests from a national or multi-State regional perspective, incorporating baseline investigations of forest ecosystem health, examinations of change over time in forest health metrics, and assessments of developing threats to forest stability and sustainability. For datasets collected on an annual basis, analyses are presented from 2012 data. For datasets collected over several years, analyses are presented at a longer temporal scale. Chapters describe new techniques for collecting and analyzing forest health data as well as new applications of established techniques. Finally, section 3 of this report presents summaries of results from recently completed Evaluation Monitoring (EM) projects that have been funded through the FHM national program to determine the extent, severity and/or causes of specific forest health problems (FHM 2013).

description: With demographic change, many rural regions in Germany face the challenge to ensure an appropriate provision of basic services, also for the increasing share of immobile population groups. Among others, the growing number of old and very old people will increase the demand for medical care. Although, on the whole health care in Germany is very good, in some rural areas its provision tends to be difficult. This paper presents findings of an empirical study on older people’s mobility options, obstacles that constrain the access to health care and related needs. In-depth interviews were conducted with elderly men and women living in Holzminden, a district in Lower Saxony already massively affected by demographic ageing and shrinking. The analysis reveals high car dependency among the elderly; those who cannot drive are highly dependent to be given a ride to all kinds of activities, including medical appointments. Satisfaction with family doctors is high but many will soon retire and might not find a successor. Access to medical specialists and emergency care turns out to be more complicated. Despite low accessibility, most appreciate the advantages of rural living and nearly none considers leaving the countryside. Yet, those who do not have family living close-by they can call on might be forced to leave rural home once not able to drive anymore.

description: The gravitationally lensing clusters A370, A2218, A1689 and CL0024+1654 were observed with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) using ISOCAM at 6.7 and 14.3 microns (hereafter 7 and 15 microns respectively). A total of 178 sources were detected in the whole set, 70 of them being cluster objects. The spectral energy distribution of a subset of sources was calculated using GRASIL. The results for the total infrared luminosity and the estimation of the star formation rate are presented for the non stellar objects for which the SED has been determined. The majority of the cluster galaxies in A2218 are best fit by models of quiescent ellipticals. In Cl0024+1654, most of the galaxies lying on the Butcher-Oemler region of the colour-magnitude diagram are best fit by disk galaxies, while those on the main sequence area have in general SEDs corresponding to post-starburst galaxies. The population of each cluster is compared with the field population, as well as with the population of other clusters. A significant number of Luminous IR Galaxies (LIRGs) is detected in CL0024+1654, while only one LIRG has been observed in total in A370, A1689, and A2218. This result supports the link between LIRGs in clusters and recent or ongoing cluster merger activity as well as the need for extending the observations to the outer parts of clusters.

description: German food retailing is characterized by fierce competition among retail chains for consumer shopping. This paper considers the switching behaviour using data of white dairy product purchases. The empirical investigation uses a survival analysis approach, in particular hazard analysis. The results extend the knowledge of shopping behaviour by providing a new set of explaining variables and the importance of the first store, defined as store with the major share of household budget, becomes apparent. On average, households buy dairy products 42 times per year. Thereof 58 % are retail chain switches and in 41 % of all cases the households remain at the previously visited retail chain. Generally a low customer loyalty is visible in this investigation. It is shown that switching behaviour is widely influenced - amongst others - by percentage of private label products, percentage of special offers and price consciousness.
Recombinant Technology of Phospholipases

description: The phospholipases (PLs) make up a very diverse group of enzymes that share the common action of catalyzing hydrolysis of phospholipids. Phospholipases A hydrolyze the carboxylic esters at the sn-1 (phospholipase A1) or sn-2 (phospholipase A2; PLA2) positions of glycerol backbones. Phospholipase C (PLC) is a phosphodiesterase responsible for hydrolysis of a glycerophosphate bond that links the polar head group to a glycerol backbone. The products are diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3). Phospholipase D (PLD) also is a phosphodiesterase that catalyzes hydrolysis of a head group, leaving phosphatidate. A phospholipase B, capable of hydrolyzing the carboxylic ester at the sn-1 or sn-2 position has been postulated, however, this is probably another enzyme with the preferred name lysophospholipase.

description: This paper highlights the strategic role retailers private quality standards play in food supply chains. Considering two symmetric downstream firms that are exclusively supplied by a finite number of upstream firms and letting the upstream firms decide which retailer to supply, we show that there exist two asymmetric equilibria in the downstream firms quality requirements. The asymmetry is driven by both an increase in the retailers buyer power and the retailers competition for suppliers. The use of private quality standards induces a decrease in social welfare, which can be softened by the implementation of a public minimum quality standard.

description: Worms are defined to be dusty, atomic hydrogen (HI) structures which are observed in low resolution data to rise perpendicular to the Galactic plane. Data from the 1'-resolution Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) were systematically searched for narrow vertical HI structures which could be resolved worms. Another motivation for the search was to explore the scenario that mushroom-shaped worms like GW123.4-1.5, studied by English and collaborators, could be generated by a single supernova. However no other vertical structures of mushroom-shape morphology were found. We also examined objects previously classified as worm candidates by Koo and collaborators; only 7 have a significant portion of their structure falling in the CGPS range of l=74 deg to 147 deg, -3.5 deg < b < +5.5 deg. Apart from GW123.4-1.5 we could not confirm that any of these are coherent structures that extend towards the Milky Way's halo. However a list of 10 narrow, vertical structures found in our search is furnished; one structure is >~ 500 pc tall, thus extending from the Galactic plane into the halo. We provide details about these narrow vertical structures, including comparisons between HI, radio continuum, IR, and CO observations. Our search was conducted by visual inspection and we describe the limitations of this approach since it indicates that only 6 disk-halo features may exist throughout the Milky Way. We also discuss possible origins of structures at high latitudes and the relationship between mushroom-shaped clouds and old supernova remnants.

description: Based on me data concerning detailed survey on land in the year 2009 and land change in the year 2010 in Rong County, a mountainous region of Sichuan Province, by using quantitative geographical model, we conduct quantitative analysis of the status quo of land use in Rong County in terms of land use diversification, land use centralization, land use combination type, land use geographic significance and comprehensive use degree of land use. m e results show some characteristics as follows. Firstly, land use in study area displays prominent characteristic of diversification: there is a high degree of completeness land use type; there is a great similarity among towns. Secondly. there is limited combination number of land use type; mostly the combination number of the towns is farmland. Thirdly, the town with prominent characteristic of diversification of land use in Rong County, have low degree of centralization of land use and relatively big combination number of land use type, and vice versa. Fourthly, the type and quantity of agricultural land resources with geographical significance are relatively complete with nothing missing; it abounds in untapped land, but the overall index values of land use are smaller than 300, with low overall use degree of land.

description: We present the results of an extensive timing analysis of the 1999 outburst of the soft X-ray transient and black hole candidate XTE J1859+226 as observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. Three main different types of low frequency (1-9 Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) were observed and classified, strenghtening the general picture that is emerging for the variability properties of black hole X-ray binaires. Rapid transitions between different power spectral shapes were observed and their link with the count rate was studied. Furthermore, we show that a frequency of ~6 Hz seems to hold a particular place: one of the three QPO types we found was very stable when at this frequency, as it happens in Z sources as well. The coherence of its subharmonic peak was higher when the fundamental was close to 6 Hz, thus suggesting the presence of some resonance at this frequency.

description: In this paper we study the steady uniform flows that develop when granular material is released from a hopper on top of a static pile in a channel. We more specifically focus on the role of side walls by carrying out experiments in setup of different widths, from narrow channels 20 particle diameters wide to channels 600 particle diameters wide. Results show that steady flows on pile are entirely controlled by side wall effects. A theoretical model, taking into account the wall friction and based on a simple local constitutive law recently proposed for other granular flow configurations (GDR MiDi 2004), gives predictions in quantitative agreement with the measurements. This result gives new insights in our understanding of free surface granular flows and strongly supports the relevance of the constitutive law proposed.

description: Spin observables for the three charge states of the pion for the pion photoproduction reaction on the deuteron, $γd\toπNN$, with polarized photon beam and/or oriented deuteron target are predicted. For the beam-target double-spin asymmetries, it is found that only the longitudinal asymmetries $T_{20}^{\ell}$ and $T_{2\pm 2}^{\ell}$ do not vanish, whereas all the circular and the other longitudinal asymmetries do vanish. The sensitivity of spin observables to the model deuteron wave function is investigated. It has been found that only $T_{21}$ and $T_{22}$ are sensitive to the model deuteron wave function, in particular in the case of $π^0$-production above the $Δ$-region, and that other asymmetries are not.

description: Relativistic Navier-Stokes equations express the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor and the particle number current in terms of the local hydrodynamic variables: temperature, fluid velocity, and the chemical potential. We show that the viscous-fluid equations are stable and causal if one adopts suitable non-equilibrium definitions of the hydrodynamic variables.

Public perceptions of drinking water risk : a community perspective
Creators: name: Yim, Yolanda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The events of Walkerton made it clear that important changes were necessary to address the safety of our drinking water. Most provinces have since passed new legislation to prevent such tragedies from happening again. There is a need, however, to consider matters from a public perspective if implementation of forthcoming regulations is to be successful. How do people think about drinking water risks? How do they understand its safety? What is the basis of their perceptions? This study addresses these questions from the perspective of a rural community at odds with provincial authorities over the issue of water chlorination. Its specific objectives are to (f) characterize one community's perceptions of drinking water risks and (if) explore the basis of many resident's aversion to chlorine. Three main concepts are explored: mtiritiw toxicology (specifically how people think about the concept of microbial pathogen dose), trust in various levels of authority responsible for managing drinking water, and sense cf place (a summation of people's identification with and attachment to place). A combination of both interview and survey methods were used in this study. Results from the survey were analyzed using SPSS (version 10.0) and form the bulk of the data presented in this study. Results from the survey indicate most respondents' were tolerant toward small amounts of microbial contaminants (indicating sensitivity to microbial pathogen dose). No relationship was found between these views and chlorine aversion, however, suggesting that the reasons behind the chlorine controversy did not revolve primarily around health concerns. Aversion to chlorine was most strongly linked to lack of trust in expert and provincial authorities, in conjunction with increased concerns about resource development. Review of the interview data revealed many residents believed there to be a connection between government interests in logging and the order to disinfect the local water supply. 'Sense of place' played a moderate role in deteirnining both aversion to chlorine and increased tolerance toward microbial contaminants. Disagreements between governments and communities over drinking water can go beyond debates about specific health risks to encompass broader social concerns. These concerns were very real to the citizens of this community, yet perhaps were not adequately recognized as such by provincial authorities.
title: Foot kinematics in healthy adults using the Oxford foot model : a comparsion of overground and treadmill walking at different speeds

description: Data obtained from gait analysis are used for diagnostic analysis, operational preparations and preand postsurgical comparisons. Patients are asked to walk at a self-selected speed to achieve a harmonic and natural walking pattern. The aim of the study is to figure out whether and to what extent walking speed has an effect on the joint angles of the foot. Further, it should be determined if gait patterns vary significantly between walking on the treadmill to those overground as the treadmill is popular in rehabilitation. Therefore, a 3D gait analysis with 23 subjects was conducted. The measurements were executed by using the Oxford Foot Model. The subjects walked at three different self-selected speeds (normal, slow, fast) along a walkway and on the treadmill. The data was clustered according to self-selected speed and according to Schwartz et al. (2008), who used a dimensionless velocity for classification. The results show that clustering according to Schwartz et al. (2008) leads to a lower dispersion range. Here walking condition (overground vs. treadmill) has an impact on cadence and step width as well as on motion between forefoot and tibia in frontal plane and the motion between hindfoot and tibia in sagittal plane. Concerning the influence of walking speed, similar results were obtained for both conditions as tibia, forefoot, hindfoot and hallux are affected while walking overground and while walking on the treadmill. In order to prevent misdiagnosis, the effect of walking condition and walking speed on spatiotemporal parameters and joint angles of the foot should be included in the evaluation of gait analysis

description: On the basis of introducing the status quo of land use in Luan County, the existing problems in the process of land use are analyzed as follows. First, the farmland is the majority, the area of garden land and forests is small and the farmland quality degenerates; second, the scale of construction use land is large, but me intensification level is low; third, reserve resources are scanty and the pressure of protecting farmland mounts. This paper discusses the orientation of Luan County in provincial and municipal land use strategy and geographical conditions of Luan County, analyzes the future development status of Luan County, and proposes that we should take guaranteeing land use strategy realization of Hebei Province and Tangshan City as important condition of land use strategy selection of Luan County. It points out that we should implement land use strategy of Luan County from the following aspects: first, strictly protect farmland, especially the basic farmland; second, focus on economic development and adopt intensive and high-efficiency land use pattern; third, pay equal attention to ecological protection and construction, and adopt many means to improve ecological environment.

description: We report the observation of temperature dependent electronic excitations in various manganites utilizing resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Mn K-edge. Excitations were observed between 1.5 and 16 eV with temperature dependence found as high as 10 eV. The change in spectral weight between 1.5 and 5 eV was found to be related to the magnetic order and independent of the conductivity. On the basis of LDA+U and Wannier function calculations, this dependence is associated with intersite d-d excitations. Finally, the connection between the RIXS cross-section and the loss function is addressed.

description: We theoretically investigate quasiparticle interference in superconducting topological insulators with the nematic order parameter. This order parameter spontaneously breaks the rotational symmetry of the crystal. Such rotational symmetry breaking is visible in the quasiparticle interference picture both in coordinate and momentum spaces. For a small bias voltages quasiparticle interference incommensurate with the crystal symmetry and shows nematic behavior. If the bias voltage is comparable with the value of the order parameter interference picture is similar to the interference picture of the normal state. Interference patterns are sensitive to the orientation of the nematicity. We compare our results with the existing experimental data.

description: The single-valued parameter (SVP) method is a parametric method that offers the possibility of computing radiative accelerations in stellar interiors much faster than other methods. It has been implemented in a few stellar evolution numerical codes for about a decade. In the present paper, we describe improvements we have recently brought in the process of preparing, from atomic/opacity databases, the SVP tables that are needed to use the method, and their extension to a larger stellar mass domain (from 1 to 10 solar mass) on the main-sequence. We discuss the validity domain of the method. We also present the website from where new tables and codes can be freely accessed and implemented in stellar evolution codes.

description: Crop residue recycling can improve the quality of the cropland, and it has multiple economic and ecological benefits. However, such practice is with low adoption due to different constraints. In this paper, we use the survey data from Baoding, Hebei province, and use the probit model to explore how the agricultural machinery purchase subsidies affect the mechanized crop residue recycling. The results showed that several factors that affect farmers in adopting the practice of mechanized crop residue crop recycling. Among these factors, the cost of adopting such practice is significant. The agricultural machinery purchase subsidies can effectively reduce me cost of such practice, as well as promote mechanized crop residue recycling. The paper also proposed several actions in the future. They include increasing the subsidies on agricultural machinery purchase and increasing farmers' awareness on crop residue recycling.

description: We use the replica method in order to obtain an expression for the variational free energy of an Ising ferromagnet on a Viana-Bray lattice in the presence of random external fields. Introducing a global order parameter, in the replica-symmetric context, the problem is reduced to the analysis of the solutions of a nonlinear integral equation. At zero temperature, and under some restrictions on the form of the random fields, we are able to perform a detailed analysis of stability of the replica-symmetric solutions. In contrast to the behaviour of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model for a spin glass in a uniform field, the paramagnetic solution is fully stable in a sufficiently large random field.
