description: Since 1982, the New Castle County Superior Court in Delaware has promoted mediation, which attempts to resolve filed conflicts prior to trial. This paper evaluates how spatial land-use conflicts channel through mediation and litigation. Data suggest that mediations fail because one of the key disputing parties does not play a direct role in mediation and litigation. The data then inform a predictive model of litigated outcomes in which disputants share in the responsibility for conflict. By alleviating some of the uncertainty of litigation and proposing win-win, mediated outcomes, the model may be used facilitate future mediations.

Revisiting the Canadian Lynx Time Series Analysis Through TARMA Models
Creators: name: Goracci, Greta
Publisher: name: Statistica
Year: 2021

description: The class of threshold autoregressive models has been proven to be a powerful and appropriate tool to describe many dynamical phenomena in different fields. In this work, we deploy the threshold autoregressive moving-average framework to revisit the analysis of the benchmark Canadian lynx time series. This data set has attracted great attention among non-linear time series analysts due to its asymmetric cycle that makes the investigation very challenging. We compare some of the best threshold autoregressive models (TAR) proposed in literature with a selection of threshold autoregressive moving-average models (TARMA). The models are compared under different prospectives: (i) goodness-of-fit through information criteria, (ii) their ability to reproduce characteristic cycles, (iv) their capability to capture multimodality and (iii) forecasting performance. We found TARMAmodels that perform better than TAR models with respect to all these aspects.

description: We use the weakly nonlocal hydrodynamics approach to obtain a dynamical equation for the peculiar velocity field in which the viscosity term is physically motivated. Based on some properties of the Ginzburg-Landau equation and the wave mechanics analog of hydrodynamics we find the nonlocal adhesion approximation taking into account the internal structures of the Zeldovich pancakes. If the internal structures correspond to significant mesoscopic fluctuations, viscosity is probably driven by a stochastic force and dynamics is given by the noisy Burgers equation.

description: Poisoning is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality that is increasing in many countries. Better data are needed to understand epidemiology and outcomes of poisoning. This work describes a new poisoning data linkage cohort in New South Wales, Australia (population approximately 8 million). This is a longitudinal health record linkage, 2011–2020, including data from: ambulance call-outs, emergency department presentations, hospital admissions, death registrations, the poisons centre, and four tertiary toxicology units. Individuals with poisoning, venomous animal/plant exposures, or adverse drug reaction events were included. There were 845,217 linkable events relating to 400,642 ambulance, 688,484 emergency department, 682,013 admission, 40,456 toxicology, and 11,879 death records. There were 572,841 people with events; the median age at the time of first event was 57 years, and 51.9% were female. Events leading to patient admission were most commonly adverse drug reactions (n = 511,263), intentional poisonings (n = 68,646), unintentional poisonings (n = 54,840) and animal/plant exposures (n = 11,092). Demographics varied by cause: intentional poisoning (median age 33 years, 61.7% female); unintentional poisoning/animals/plants (median age 43 years, 45% female); and adverse drug reactions (median age 70 years, 54% female). Adolescent females had highest rates of intentional poisoning, while unintentional poisoning had a bimodal distribution, highest in children <5 years old and males aged 20 to 50 years. Substance use disorders were documented comorbidities for 44% of intentional poisoning, 29% of unintentional poisoning, and 13% of adverse drug reaction-related admissions; mood disorders were documented for 54%, 17% and 10% of these admissions, respectively. Poisonings and hospitalised adverse drug reactions are common in New South Wales, affecting approximately 8% of the population in 10 years. This linkage improves understanding of poisoning risks and outcomes in Australia. This novel data linkage provides a unique opportunity to study poisoning across multiple settings for an individual over an extended period.
Enhancement of the upper critical field of Nb3Sn utilizing disorder introduced by ball milling the elements

description: Nb3Sn was prepared by milling Nb and Sn powder mixtures followed by limited reactions to restrict disorder recovery. Although disorder reduced the superconducting critical temperature Tc, the concomitant electron scattering increased the upper critical field mu0Hc2 to as high as 35 T at 0 K, as determined by the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg equation. Hc2 was higher for longer milling times and lower annealing temperatures. Substitution of 2% Ti for Nb did not appreciably enhance Hc2, suggesting that alloying mitigates the benefits of disorder. Since alloyed Nb3Sn wires have mu0Hc2(0) approximately 29 T, wires based on heavily milled powders could extend the field range for applications if they can be made with high current density.
Schools on different corners: An investigation into the effects of ethnicity and socioeconomic status on physics offerings in Northern California public high schools

description: In the spring of 2018 the Northern California/Nevada section of the American Association of Physics Teachers was alerted to a local high school's plans to eliminate physics for the following school year. As part of the campaign to support the school's efforts to sustain physics in the following year, the physics offerings from the surrounding schools in that district were compiled. It appeared that the demographics of the student population in the district played a role in the number of different physics courses offered within that district, particularly the percentage of Hispanic students (%Hispanic) and percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged (%SED) students at each school. Concerned that this trend was more widespread, physics course offerings were reviewed for Northern California public high schools to determine if there were correlations between the amount of different physics class offerings and these populations. It was found that %Hispanic and %SED are strongly correlated in California public schools, and along with number of students, could be used as statistically significant predictors of a school's physics offerings.

description: In a recent paper, Mazucheli et al. (2019) introduced the unit-Gompertz (UG) distribution and studied some of its properties. It is a continuous distribution with bounded support, and hence may be useful for modelling life-time phenomena. We present counter-examples to point out some subtle errors in their work, and subsequently correct them. We also look at some other interesting properties of this new distribution. Further, we also study some important reliability measures and consider some stochastic orderings associated with this new distribution.

Variance Inflation Due to Censoring in Survival Probability Estimates

Publisher: name: Statistica
Year: 2021

description: One of the most obvious features of time-to-event data is the occurrence of censoring. Rarely, if ever, studies are conducted until all participants experience the event of interest. Some participants survive beyond the end of follow-up time, some drop out from the studies for various non-study related reasons. During research planning it is paramount to consider the effect of censoring the follow-up times on the estimates. Herein, we look into the possibility of assessing the loss of information, as measured by the variability of the survival probability estimates under right censoring. We provide the researchers with an easy to use formula to assess the magnitude of variance inflation due to censoring. Additionally, we conducted simulation studies assuming various survival distributions. We conclude that the provided variance inflation estimator can be an accurate practical tool for applied statisticians.

description: In this paper, a general class of two-sided lifetime distributions is introduced via odd ratio function, the well-known concept in survival analysis and reliability engineering. Some statistical and reliability properties including survival function, quantiles, moments function, asymptotic and maximum likelihood estimation are provided in a general setting. A special case of this new family is taken up by considering the exponential model as the parent distribution. Some characteristics of this specialized model and also a discussion associated with survival regression are provided. A simulation study is presented to investigate the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators. Moreover, two examples of real data sets are studied; point and interval estimations of all parameters are obtained by maximum likelihood and bootstrap (parametric and non-parametric) procedures. Finally, the superiority of the proposed model over some common statistical distributions is shown through the different criteria for model selection including loglikelihood values, Akaike information criterion and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic values.

description: Extropy is a recent addition to the family of information measures as a complementary dual of Shannon entropy, to measure the uncertainty contained in a probability distribution of a random variable. A probability distribution can be specified either in terms of the distribution function or by the quantile function. In many applied works, there do not have any tractable distribution function but the quantile function exists, where a study on the quantile-based extropy are of importance. The present paper thus focuses on deriving some properties of extropy and its related measures using quantile function. Some ordering relations of quantile-based residual extropy are presented. We also introduce the quantile-based extropy of order statistics and cumulative extropy and studied its properties. Some applications of empirical estimation of quantile-based extropy using simulation and real data analysis are investigated.

description: Severe diquat poisoning often leads to acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal injury, paralytic ileus, rhabdomyolysis, respiratory failure, refractory circulatory failure, and brainstem damage. A previously healthy 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with anuria, mild abdominal distension, and calf pain after ingesting diquat (200 g/L) 100 mL approximately 13 h before presentation. His blood diquat concentration was 8.14 µg/L on admission. Gastrointestinal catharsis, haemoperfusion, and haemodiafiltration were performed. Subsequently, he developed marked abdominal distention, impaired consciousness, hypotension, and respiratory failure, leading to death. Computed tomography revealed gas accumulation in the portal venous system and mesenteric vessels. Moreover, gastrointestinal pneumatosis was present. Computed tomography also revealed changes in the lung, brainstem, and calf muscles. Diquat poisoning can result in acute kidney injury, hepatic injury, gastrointestinal injury, paralytic ileus, rhabdomyolysis, refractory circulatory failure, brainstem damage, and hepatic portal venous gas, all observed in this patient.

description: We calculate the nuclear modification factor of neutral pions and the photon yield at high p_T in central Au-Au collisions at RHIC (\sqrt{s}=200 GeV) and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC (\sqrt{s}=5500 GeV). A leading-order accurate treatment of jet energy loss in the medium has been convolved with a physical description of the initial spatial distribution of jets and a (1+1) dimensional expansion. We reproduce the nuclear modification factor of pion R_{AA} at RHIC, assuming an initial temperature T_i=370 MeV and a formation time τ_i=0.26 fm/c, corresponding to dN/dy=1260. The resulting suppression depends on the particle rapidity density dN/dy but weakly on the initial temperature. The jet energy loss treatment is also included in the calculation of high p_T photons. Photons coming from primordial hard N-N scattering are the dominant contribution at RHIC for p_T > 5 GeV, while at the LHC, the range 8

description: Poisons information centres provide phone-based risk assessment and management advice on poisonings. Unintentional poisonings are a common reason for consulting a poisons information centre, and older adults are at increased risk of unintentional poisoning and adverse outcomes. We describe patterns of unintentional poisoning in older adults reported to a regional poisons information centre. We conducted a retrospective audit of poisons information centre call records and identified unintentional poisonings involving older adults (≥75 years) over a 12-month period to determine patient demographics and poisoning circumstances (substances, contributing factors, and disposition recommendation). Univariate analyses identified variables associated with hospital referral and multivariate models to identify independent risk factors in home-dwelling older adults. We identified 2,757 calls. More exposures occurred in women (62%) and involved therapeutic errors (70.8%). Paracetamol was the most common drug involved (11%), and cardiovascular drugs were the most common drug class (36%). Only 14.3% of the study population was referred to hospital. Independent risk factors for hospital referral in home-dwelling older adults were exposure to cardiovascular, centrally acting and antihyperglycaemics, non-oral route of administration and symptoms at the time of the call. Unintentional poisoning is not uncommon, and our findings are similar to those in other countries over recent decades. These findings suggest that unintentional poisoning in older adults is inadequately addressed by current medication safety strategies. Our findings indicate the value of timely advice by poisons information centres for preventing potentially unnecessary hospitalizations. Further research is needed to identify more effective approaches to medication safety strategies for older adults. Poisons information centre data contribute to pharmacovigilance activities and could inform patient care.
Understanding adolescents' loneliness: testing for developmental differences in the experience of loneliness in adolescence
Creators: name: Weatherby, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Is the experience of loneliness dependent or independent of one's developmental stage? Parkhurst and Hopmeyer's (1999) model of'Developmental Changes in the Sources of Loneliness in Childhood and Adolescence' was utilized in an attempt to address this fundamental question. Their model of loneliness specified five distinct stages. The five stages were identified by grade level. Parkhurst and Hopmeyer's rationale suggested that for each stage, one's unique social group preferences, social needs, and understanding of loneliness, influences their sources of loneliness. For the purpose of this present study, two of the five stages were operationalized and presented in a questionnaire. One of the stages tested was upper elementary to junior high school. Twenty-seven grade eight and forty-three grade nine Physical Education students represented the upper elementary to junior high school stage. The other stage tested was high school to college. Fifty-two grade twelve, English students represented the high school to college stage. Overall, results from the questionnaire suggested that developmental stage did not significantly influence the loneliness experience for grade eight to twelve students, in the direction predicted by Parkhurst and Hopmeyer. However, since the measures used to assess Parkhurst and Hopmeyer's model fit existing research surrounding sex differences in loneliness, sex differences were also an area of investigation in the present study. The results indicated that females valued intimate social needs such as 'being able to share emotions and feelings' and 'being able to trust their friends'. Furthermore, females rated social situations that suggested inadequate intimacy, that is, 'feeling misunderstood' and 'not being to share emotions and feelings', as more lonely 'things' than the males. However, although females perceived that failing to obtain these intimate 'things' would make them feel lonely, in actuality, these intimate 'things' were not significantly associated with higher levels of loneliness for the females. On the other hand, males' social needs included 'having friends to do things with' and 'having friends that make you feel like you belong in the group'. Furthermore, males rated the social situations that suggested they had inadequate levels of social status within their group, that is, 'if nobody stuck up for them', 'if they weren't popular enough to belong to their group of choice' or 'if they were embarrassed of their group of friends', as more lonely 'things' than the females. However, although males perceived all of these three 'things' that suggested a lack of social status to cause them to be lonely, in actuality, males had higher levels of loneliness from only one 'thing', that is, 'not feeling like they belonged in a group'.

description: An independent determination of $H_0$ is crucial given the growing tension between the Hubble constant, $H_0$, derived locally and that determined from the modeling of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) originating in the early universe. In this work, we present a new determination of $H_0$ using velocities and tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) distances to 33 galaxies located between the Local Group and the Virgo cluster. We use a model of the infall pattern of the local Hubble flow modified by the Virgo mass, which is given as a function of the cosmological constants ($H_0$, $Ω_Λ$), the radius of the zero-velocity surface $R_0$, and the intrinsic velocity dispersion, $σ_v$. Fitting velocities and TRGB distances of 33 galaxies to the model, we obtain $H_0 =$ 65.8 $\pm$ 3.5($stat$) $\pm$ 2.4($sys$) km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ and $R_0 =$ 6.76 $\pm$ 0.35 Mpc. Our local $H_0$ is consistent with the global $H_0$ determined from CMB radiation, showing no tension. In addition, we present new TRGB distances to NGC 4437 and NGC 4592 which are located near the zero-velocity surface: D = 9.28 $\pm$ 0.39 Mpc and D = 9.07 $\pm$ 0.27 Mpc, respectively. Their spatial separation is 0.29$^{+0.30}_{-0.03}$ Mpc, suggesting that they form a physical pair.

description: Naloxone is an effective antidote, but its short half-life means repeated doses, and infusions are often required. We investigated the effectiveness of adding intramuscular naloxone to titrated intravenous naloxone in opioid overdose in preventing recurrence of respiratory depression. This double-blinded randomised placebo-controlled trial was conducted in patients with suspected opioid poisoning and respiratory depression (respiratory rate <10 breaths/min or oxygen saturation <93%). Patients were randomised to receive either intramuscular naloxone 1,600 µg or saline placebo. All patients received titrated intravenous naloxone 100 µg and were managed on an opioid poisoning care pathway. The primary outcome was recurrence of respiratory depression within 4 h. Secondary outcomes were the proportion receiving naloxone infusions, number of naloxone boluses administered, reversal of respiratory depression at 10 min, and precipitation of opioid withdrawal (any symptom). Recurrence of respiratory depression within 4 h was less common in 28/69 (41%) patients receiving intramuscular naloxone versus 48/67 (72%) patients receiving placebo (difference 31%, 95% CI: 13–46%; P < 0.001). Fewer naloxone infusions (5/69; 7% versus 25/67; 37%, difference 30%, 95% CI: 15 to 55%; P < 0.001) and fewer naloxone doses were administered (median 2, IQR: 1 to 5, versus median 5, IQR: 2 to 8; P = 0.001) in the intramuscular group. Reversal of respiratory depression at 10 min was similar between groups (51/69; 74% intramuscular naloxone versus 47/67; 70% placebo; P = 0.703). Opioid withdrawal occurred in 35/69 (51%) given intramuscular naloxone compared to 28/67 (42%) in the placebo group (difference 9%; 95% CI: −8 to 27%; P = 0.308). The favourable pharmacokinetics of intramuscular naloxone, particularly its longer duration of activity, likely explains the improved effectiveness with lower recurrence of respiratory depression. The addition of intramuscular naloxone 1,600 µg to titrated intravenous naloxone prolonged effective reversal of respiratory depression, with fewer naloxone doses and infusions given, and no significant difference in patients developing withdrawal.

description: The strong interaction among hadrons has been measured in the past by scattering experiments. Although this technique has been extremely successful in providing information about the nucleon-nucleon and pion-nucleon interactions, when unstable hadrons are considered the experiments become more challenging. In the last few years, the analysis of correlations in the momentum space for pairs of stable and unstable hadrons measured in pp and p-Pb collisions by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC has provided a new method to investigate the strong interaction among hadrons. In this article, we review the numerous results recently achieved for hyperon-nucleon, hyperon-hyperon, and kaon-nucleon pairs, which show that this new method opens the possibility of measuring the residual strong interaction of any hadron pair.

description: There are well-known analogs of the prime number theorem and Mertens' theorem for dynamical systems with hyperbolic behaviour. Here we consider the same question for the simplest non-hyperbolic algebraic systems. The asymptotic behaviour of the orbit-counting function is governed by a rotation on an associated compact group, and in simple examples we exhibit uncountably many different asymptotic growth rates for the orbit-counting function. Mertens' Theorem also holds in this setting, with an explicit rational leading coefficient obtained from arithmetic properties of the non-hyperbolic eigendirections.
Casimir scaling of domain wall tensions in the deconfined phase of D=3+1 SU(N) gauge theories

description: We perform lattice calculations of the spatial 't Hooft k-string tensions in the deconfined phase of SU(N) gauge theories for N=2,3,4,6. These equal (up to a factor of T) the surface tensions of the domain walls between the corresponding (Euclidean) deconfined phases. For T much larger than Tc our results match on to the known perturbative result, which exhibits Casimir Scaling, being proportional to k(N-k). At lower T the coupling becomes stronger and, not surprisingly, our calculations show large deviations from the perturbative T-dependence. Despite this we find that the behaviour proportional to k(N-k) persists very accurately down to temperatures very close to Tc. Thus the Casimir Scaling of the 't Hooft tension appears to be a `universal' feature that is more general than its appearance in the low order high-T perturbative calculation. We observe the `wetting' of these k-walls at T around Tc and the (almost inevitable) `perfect wetting' of the k=N/2 domain wall. Our calculations show that as T tends to Tc the magnitude of the spatial `t Hooft string tension decreases rapidly. This suggests the existence of a (would-be) 't Hooft string condensation transition at some temperature which is close to but below Tc. We speculate on the `dual' relationship between this and the (would-be) confining string condensation at the Hagedorn temperature that is close to but above Tc.

description: We show that the Pomeron exchanges play a unique role in vector charmonium scatterings. Such a mechanism can provide a natural explanation for the nontrivial structures in the di-$J/ψ$ spectrum observed by the LHCb Collaboration. The narrow structure $X(6900)$, as a dynamically generated resonance pole, can arise from the Pomeron exchanges and coupled-channel effects between the $J/ψ$-$J/ψ$, $J/ψ$-$ψ(2S)$ scatterings. A pole structure near the di-$J/ψ$ threshold is also found. Meanwhile, we predict that $X(6900)$ can produce significant threshold enhancement in the $J/ψ$-$ψ(2S)$ energy spectrum which can be searched for at LHCb.

description: Deep learning has been widely used for medical image segmentation and a large number of papers has been presented recording the success of deep learning in the field. In this paper, we present a comprehensive thematic survey on medical image segmentation using deep learning techniques. This paper makes two original contributions. Firstly, compared to traditional surveys that directly divide literatures of deep learning on medical image segmentation into many groups and introduce literatures in detail for each group, we classify currently popular literatures according to a multi-level structure from coarse to fine. Secondly, this paper focuses on supervised and weakly supervised learning approaches, without including unsupervised approaches since they have been introduced in many old surveys and they are not popular currently. For supervised learning approaches, we analyze literatures in three aspects: the selection of backbone networks, the design of network blocks, and the improvement of loss functions. For weakly supervised learning approaches, we investigate literature according to data augmentation, transfer learning, and interactive segmentation, separately. Compared to existing surveys, this survey classifies the literatures very differently from before and is more convenient for readers to understand the relevant rationale and will guide them to think of appropriate improvements in medical image segmentation based on deep learning approaches.
Towards policy impact – an exploration of Clinical Toxicology research cited in policy documents and patents

description: Individual researcher impact through scientific citations is carefully monitored, with little attention to the impact of individual journals through policy and patent mentions. We aimed to describe policy and patent mentions for articles published in Clinical Toxicology. Using Altmetric Explorer, we extracted mentions from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2023, noting the citing source, Clinical Toxicology article title, and author-generated keywords. We used descriptive statistics to analyse the data. We identified 165 individual policy documents (n = 139) and patents (n = 26), citing 146 articles with median of 6.4 years between publication and mention. The highest number of citing documents were by the World Health Organization (n = 45), European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (n = 22), and United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (n = 16). Most patents were registered in the United States (n = 17) and by the European Patent Office (n = 10), with the main classification of human necessities (n = 23). The commonest subjects of papers cited in policy and patents, from keywords, related to medical conditions and symptoms (26%) and recreational drugs (22%). The most cited article was “A systematic review of adverse events arising from the use of synthetic cannabinoids and their associated treatment.” Clinical Toxicology articles are cited in policy documents and patents, with a comparable number of mentions to the top-ranked journals in the field. This likely contributes to policy impact, but further work is needed to understand how cited articles are used and ripple effects through onwards citations of policy documents. Clinical Toxicology is a toxicology journal for which published research gets recognised within influential policy sources. The Journal can play a key role in guiding public health policy through its selection and development of submitted publications.

description: Can we improve machine-learning (ML) emulators with synthetic data? If data are scarce or expensive to source and a physical model is available, statistically generated data may be useful for augmenting training sets cheaply. Here we explore the use of copula-based models for generating synthetically augmented datasets in weather and climate by testing the method on a toy physical model of downwelling longwave radiation and corresponding neural network emulator. Results show that for copula-augmented datasets, predictions are improved by up to 62 % for the mean absolute error (from 1.17 to 0.44 W m$^{-2}$).

description: Das Edelgas Neon wird als potentielles Arbeitsfluid für Primärthermometer zur direkten Messung thermodynamischer Temperaturen in Betracht gezogen. Für diese Anwendung ist die genaue Kenntnis der thermophysikalischen Eigenschaften von Neon essentiell. Um die Datenlage für dieses Fluid zu verbessern, wurden neue Messungen der Viskosität und Dichte von Neon mit einem Schwingdrahtviskosimeter mit integrierter Dichtemessung durchgeführt. Zur Messung der Viskosität wird ein eingespannter Draht, der sich in einem homogenen Magnetfeld befindet, zu Schwingungen angeregt. Nach Abschalten der Anregung wird die Schwingung gedämpft und durch magnetische Induktion eine elektrische Spannung im bewegten Draht induziert. Aus der detektierten gedämpften harmonischen Schwingung kann die Viskosität bestimmt werden. Das Dichtemessverfahren beruht auf dem Auftriebsprinzip von Archimedes, wobei ein Silizium- Einkristall-Senkkörper verwendet wurde. Das Viskosimeter wurde aus der ehemaligen Arbeitsgruppe von E. Vogel in Rostock an die Helmut-Schmidt-Universität in Hamburg überführt, dort wieder aufgebaut und modernisiert. Zur Kalibrierung der Viskositätssensoren wurden Messungen an Helium bei 293,15 K und unter Drücken von bis zu 30 MPa durchgeführt. Zur Validierung des Viskosimeters wurden an Stickstoff die beiden Isothermen 293,15 K und 423,15 K vermessen. Die Messungen an Neon decken den Temperaturbereich von 300 K bis 450 K unter Drücken von bis zu 30 MPa ab und zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung mit vorhandenen Literaturdaten. Zusätzlich wurde die Viskosität des Edelgases Krypton entlang der Isothermen 298,15 K vermessen. Die erreichten Messunsicherheiten (95%-Konfidenzintervall) belaufen sich auf 2,5 mK für die Temperatur, 0,2% für die Viskosität und 0,1% für die Dichte. Zudem wurden Viskositätskorrelationen im Limit von Nulldichte für die Edelgase und Stickstoff basierend auf hoch genauen theoretisch berechneten Werten entwickelt. Die Korrelationen geben die theoretisch berechneten Werte innerhalb ihrer Unsicherheit wieder und zeigen ein physikalisch sinnvolles Extrapolationsverhalten bei hohen und niedrigen Temperaturen.
Constructing an interval of Minkowski space from a causal set

description: A criticism sometimes made of the causal set quantum gravity program is that there is no practical scheme for identifying manifoldlike causal sets and finding embeddings of them into manifolds. A computational method for constructing an approximate embedding of a small manifoldlike causal set into Minkowski space (or any spacetime that is approximately flat at short scales) is given, and tested in the 2 dimensional case. This method can also be used to determine how manifoldlike a causal set is, and conversely to define scales of manifoldlikeness.
