description: The current theoretical and experimental situations are reviewed for low-dimensional insulating systems with a low magnetic transition temperature TM and pronounced short-range magnetic order above this temperature. Both the standard and self-consistent spin-wave theories are shown to be insufficient to quantitatively describe the experimental data on these systems. Field-theoretical approaches taking into account the contribution of the spin-fluctuation excitations (neglected in the spin-wave theories) to the thermodynamic properties of ferro- and antiferromagnets are discussed.

Prisoner attitudes toward crime, politics, and the socioeconomic system : the politicized prisoner phenomenon
Creators: name: Cartwright, Barry Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study was designed to measure the degree of prisoner politicization in federal prisons in British Columbia, and to measure the association between prisoner politicization and exposure to the criminal justice system. A random sample of sixty prisoners was obtained at three federal prisons in British Columbia. The interview results were codified, analyzed by an SPSS computer program, and then reviewed extensively by the writer and the thesis supervisor before making a final determination of the degree of prisoner politicization. Seventeen (28 percent) of the prisoners were found to be either moderately or extremely politicized. There also was evidence of nascent politicization among some prisoners who were not found to be significantly politicized. There was support for the hypothesis that prisoner politicization is related to exposure to the criminal justice system, although not as strong as expected. Politicization appears to be related to both quantity of exposure (as measured by frequency of incarceration) and quality of exposure (as measured by usual level of security and length of sentence).

Chydorus parvus

description: 43. * Chydorus parvus Daday, 1898
Localities and specimens found: 50 – 2♀, 2♀ ov; 51 – 12♀, 11♀ ov, 3♀ em, 11j.
Distribution and ecology. Chydorus parvus is generally known from the Afrotropical and Oriental regions (Smirnov 1996; Kotov et al. 2013a). In the latter, it is one of the most common representatives of the genus. In some sources, it was previously indicated here under synonymous names, Ch. sphaericus var. parvus Daday, 1898 and Ch. robustus Stingelin, 1905 (Swar & Fernando 1979; Rajapaksa & Fernando 1982a; Idris 1983; Michael & Sharma 1988; Sanoamuang 1998; Maiphae et al. 2005, 2008; Chatterjee et al. 2013; Korovchinsky 2013; Kotov et al. 2013b; Van Damme et al. 2013; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Lopez et al. 2017; Sharma & Sharma 2017; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). There is also evidence of finds of this species in Central China (Ji et al. 2015) and the Australian biogeographic realm (Maiphae et al. 2008). Prior to the present study, Ch. parvus had not been recorded in Vietnam.
The lifestyle and ecology of Ch. parvus are not yet fully understood. The species was recorded in a wide spectrum of water bodies: lakes, ponds, reservoirs, channals, rivers, streams, floodplains, rice fields, swamps, pools, etc. (Idris 1983; Sanoamuang 1998; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). Some authors present it as a eurytopic species, occurring in almost all types of habitats (Rajapaksa & Fernando 1982a; Idris 1983). According to Sinev & Yusoff (2015), this chydorid is more abundant on submerged macrophytes. We found Ch. parvus only among the roots of floating macrophytes (see Appendix 1).
Remarks. Kotov et al. (2013b) note that the status of Ch. parvus populations found outside the Oriental area should be revised.

description: The sound financial health of the U.S. farm sector is vital because of its importance to food security and for the wellbeing of U.S. farm households and rural communities. Analyzing key financial ratios is one way to examine the financial health of the farm sector. This study compares 2020 values for farm sector financial ratios before and after the onset of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Forecasts from the February 5, 2020, release of the USDA Economic Research Service’s Farm Income and Wealth Statistics data product represent the prepandemic (before) forecasts. Those forecast values are compared to the data released on February 4, 2022, which represent the realized values for 2020 and include pandemic impacts on commodity demand and the policy response to the economic shock. Solvency ratios (which are indicators of the sector's ability to repay financial liabilities via the sale of assets) worsened in 2020 relative to prepandemic expectations. Efficiency ratios (which evaluate the conversion of assets into production and revenue) and liquidity ratios (which are indicators of the availability of cash to cover debt payments) showed mixed outcomes for the realized results in 2020 relative to the pre-pandemic forecasts. Four profitability ratios were stronger in 2020 relative to pre-pandemic expectations. All solvency, liquidity, and profitability ratios plus 2 out of 5 efficiency ratios for 2020 were weaker than their respective average ratios obtained from 2000 to 2019 data.

description: Radio observations from decimetric to submillimetric wavelengths are now a basic tool for the investigation of comets. Spectroscopic observations allow us i) to monitor the gas production rate of the comets, by directly observing the water molecule, or by observing secondary products (e.g., the OH radical) or minor species (e.g., HCN); ii) to investigate the chemical composition of comets; iii) to probe the physical conditions of cometary atmospheres: kinetic temperature and expansion velocity. Continuum observations probe large-size dust particles and (for the largest objects) cometary nuclei. Comets are classified from their orbital characteristics into two separate classes: i) nearly-isotropic, mainly long-period comets and ii) ecliptic, short-period comets, the so-called Jupiter-family comets. These two classes apparently come from two different reservoirs, respectively the Oort cloud and the trans-Neptunian scattered disc. Due to their different history and - possibly - their different origin, they may have different chemical and physical properties that are worth being investigated. The present article reviews the contribution of radio observations to our knowledge of the Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). The difficulty of such a study is the commonly low gas and dust productions of these comets. Long-period, nearly-isotropic comets from the Oort cloud are better known from Earth-based observations. On the other hand, Jupiter-family comets are more easily accessed by space missions. However, unique opportunities to observe Jupiter-family comets are offered when these objects come by chance close to the Earth. About a dozen JFCs were successfully observed by radio techniques up to now. No obvious evidence for different properties between JFCs and other families of comets is found.

description: Ultraviolet-photoemission (UPS) measurements and supporting specific-heat, thermal-expansion, resistivity, and magnetic-moment measurements are reported for the magnetic shape-memory alloy Ni2MnGa over the temperature range 100TPM is due to the Ni d minority-spin electrons. Below TM this peak disappears, resulting in an enhanced density of states at energies around 0.8 eV. This enhancement reflects Ni d and Mn d electronic contributions to the majority-spin density of states. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

description: We extend our earlier work, regarding the perturbative stability of string configurations used for computing the interaction potential of heavy quarks within the gauge/gravity correspondence, to cover a more general class of gravity duals. We provide results, mostly based on analytic methods and corroborated by numerical calculations, which apply to strings in a general class of backgrounds that encompass boosted, spinning and marginally-deformed D3-brane backgrounds. For the case of spinning branes we demonstrate in a few examples that perturbative stability of strings requires strong conditions complementing those following by thermodynamic stability of the dual field theories. For marginally-deformed backgrounds, we find that even in the conformal case stability may require an upper value for the imaginary part of the deformation parameter, whereas in regions of the Coulomb branch where there exists linear confinement we find that there exist stable string configurations for certain ranges of values of this parameter. We finally discuss the case of open strings with fixed endpoints propagating in Rindler space, which turns out to have an exact classical-mechanical analog.

description: Supporting Novel Co-creation Initiatives sought to support making research funding and performing institutions more permeable to Responsible Research and Innovation principles by encouraging collaboration of Core and Associated ORION partners with stakeholders in the quadruple helix. This report summarises the learnings during the first two phases of this task: the design and dissemination of the funding call; and the evaluation and selection of successful proposals. The design of the funding call was a co-creation process during which ORION partners started collaborating with stakeholders in industry (Innovative Medicines Initiative/European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations), other higher education organisations (Eurodoc), and the public sector (European Commissions, DG Santé and RTD; Swedish Innovation Agency).

description: As part of the ORION project, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) conducted a public dialogue exercise to gather opinions from civil society and strategic stakeholders to explore how to take them into account for the development of the next CRG strategic plan for the period 2021-2024, so to align the plan with society’s views, values and expectations. Internally, the aim of this exercise was also to promote a cultural change in the perception of Open Science throughout the CRG community. The public dialogue took place during the months of October and November 2020 and was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This dialogue has served as an instrument to support and encourage the ORION overarching goal: to embed Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles in research funding and performing organisations (RFPOs).

Plants with long, slender, scandent, climbing, or creeping main axes, which give off lateral branchlet systems of spreading to flaccidly hanging, at least to 30 cm long branchlets. Main axes 1–1.5 mm thick excl. leaves, glabrous. Ultimate branchlets incl. leaves 4–5 mm in diam. Leaves of main axes distant, borne in drawn-out spirals or very irregular whorls, 8–12 seriate, acicular, semiterete to flattened, soft, with a long, slender tip, arcuate-ascending to appressed, 4–6 mm long, glabrous. Branchlet leaves softly to firmly herbaceous, arcuate-ascending to arcuate-appressed, 3–5 × ca. 0.5 mm, evenly tapering from the base, otherwise conform. Strobili to 9 cm long, ca 4 mm thick (with appressed sporophylls). Sporophylls borne in alternating whorls of 4, forming 8 longitudinal ranks, with coalescent sporophyll bases partly enclosing the sporangia, with lanceolate to lanceolate-ovate, 4–5 × 1–1.5 mm exterior face, with shallowly erose-denticulate margins, of herbaceous, green texture throughout. Sporangia globose, 1—1.2 mm wide.

description: Methods specifically targeting missing values in a wide spectrum of statistical analyses are now part of serious statistical thinking due to many advances in computational statistics and increased awareness among sophisticated consumers of statistics. Despite many advances in both theory and applied methods for missing data, missing-data methods in multilevel applications lack equal development. In this paper, I consider a popular inferential tool via multiple imputation in multilevel applications with missing values. I specifically consider missing values occurring arbitrarily at any level of observational units. I use Bayesian arguments for drawing multiple imputations from the underlying (posterior) predictive distribution of missing data. Multivariate extensions of well-known mixed-effects models form the basis for simulating the posterior predictive distribution, hence creating the multiple imputations. The discussion of these topics is demonstrated in an application assessing correlates to unmet need for mental health care among children with special health care needs. © 2008 The Royal Society.

description: We continue the study of the one-dimensional E10 coset model (massless spinning particle motion on E10/K(E10) whose dynamics at low levels is known to coincide with the equations of motion of maximal supergravity theories in appropriate truncations. We show that the coset dynamics (truncated at levels less or equal to three) can be consistently restricted by requiring the vanishing of a set of constraints which are in one-to-one correspondence with the canonical constraints of supergravity. Hence, the resulting constrained sigma-model dynamics captures the full (constrained) supergravity dynamics in this truncation. Remarkably, the bosonic constraints are found to be expressible in a Sugawara-like (current x current) form in terms of the conserved E10 Noether current, and transform covariantly under an upper parabolic subgroup E10+ of E10. We discuss the possible implications of this result, and in particular exhibit a tantalising link with the usual affine Sugawara construction in the truncation of E10 to its affine subgroup E9.

description: Using a variety of thermodynamic measurements made in magnetic fields, we show evidence that the diffusionless transition (DT) in many shape-memory alloys is related to significant changes in the electronic structure. We investigate three alloys that show the shape-memory effect (In-24 at. % Tl, AuZn, and U-26 at. % Nb). We observe that the DT is significantly altered in these alloys by the application of a magnetic field. Specifically, the DT in InTl-24 at. % shows a decrease in the DT temperature with increasing magnetic field. Further investigations of AuZn were performed using an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique in magnetic fields up to 45 T. Quantum oscillations in the speed of the longitudinal sound waves propagating in the [110] direction indicated a strong acoustic de Haas-van Alphen-type effect and give information about part of the Fermi surface. © 2007 The American Physical Society.

description: We investigate a state discrimination problem in operationally the most general framework to use a probability, including both classical, quantum theories, and more. In this wide framework, introducing closely related family of ensembles (which we call a {\it Helstrom family of ensembles}) with the problem, we provide a geometrical method to find an optimal measurement for state discrimination by means of Bayesian strategy. We illustrate our method in 2-level quantum systems and in a probabilistic model with square-state space to reproduce e.g., the optimal success probabilities for binary state discrimination and $N$ numbers of symmetric quantum states. The existences of families of ensembles in binary cases are shown both in classical and quantum theories in any generic cases.

description: We address the role of excitonic coupling on the nature of photoexcitations in the conjugated polymer regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene). By means of temperature-dependent absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy, we show that optical emission is overwhelmingly dominated by weakly coupled H aggregates. The relative absorbance of the 0-0 and 0-1 vibronic peaks provides a powerfully simple means to extract the magnitude of the intermolecular coupling energy, of approximately 5 and 30 meV for films spun from isodurene and chloroform solutions, respectively. © 2007 The American Physical Society.

description: We present the first comparison of the dynamical properties of different samples of z~1.4-3.4 star forming galaxies from spatially resolved imaging spectroscopy from SINFONI/VLT integral field spectroscopy and IRAM CO millimeter interferometry. Our samples include 16 rest-frame UV-selected, 16 rest-frame optically-selected and 13 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). We find that restframe UV- and optically bright (K<20) z~2 star forming galaxies are dynamically similar, and follow the same velocity-size relation as disk galaxies at z~0. In the theoretical framework of rotating disks forming from dissipative collapse in dark matter halos, the two samples require a spin parameter ranging from 0.06 to 0.2. In contrast bright SMGs have larger velocity widths and are much more compact. Hence, SMGs have lower angular momenta and higher matter densities than either of the UV- or optically selected populations. This indicates that dissipative major mergers may dominate the SMGs population, resulting in early spheroids, and that the majority of UV/optically bright galaxies have evolved less violently [...]. These early disks may later evolve into spheroids via disk instabilities or mergers. Because of their small sizes and large densities, SMGs lie at the high surface density end of a universal (out to z=2.5) "Schmidt-Kennicutt" relation between gas surface density and star formation rate surface density with a slope of ~1.7.

description: In this panel, we will engage with the conference's membership and friends to consider directions for the possible futures of practice-centered computing. This panel is not targeting or aiming to result in a single, agreed "universal” vision, nor to ask for a shared vision among the panelists and the audience. Rather, we offer several and diverse vision statements by distinguished and innovative ECSCW scholars, being experts in their specific domain or context of research. These statements will be necessarily incomplete until the ECSCW membership has joined the discussion, offering their own, additional visions of the futures of the field. With this, the panel aims to engage in a discussion that foresees exciting future research directions for the field of ECSCW but likewise also unveils potential hurdles the community might face.
The relationships between marital distress and child behaviour problems, maternal personal adjustment, maternal personality, and maternal parenting behaviour

Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship of marital adjustment to maternal personal adjustment, maternal personality, maternal perception of child adjustment, maternal parenting behaviour and child behaviour. Two groups of mothers and their children participated in the study: Mothers in the maritally distressed group (n = 20) rated themselves on a self-report inventory as experiencing significant marital distress; mothers in the maritally nondistressed group (n = 20) rated themselves on the same inventory as having satisfactory marital relationships. Children ranged in age between 3 and 7 years of age. Self-report measures assessing personal adjustment, personality and perception of child adjustment were completed by the mothers. In addition, maternal parenting behaviour and child behaviour were assessed by independent observers in home observations. Separate Hotelling's T² analyses were conducted on each of the five sets of dependent measures. Results indicated that compared to mothers in the maritally non-distressed group, mothers in the distressed group perceived themselves as significantly more anxious and depressed and perceived their children as having significantly more problems especially in the area of undercontrol. There" were no differences between the groups with respect to maternal personality. The results for the parent and child behavioural data were less clear. There was a trend for maritally distressed mothers to give less positive attention "to their children than the non-distressed mothers gave to their children, and for children of maritally distressed mothers to be less compliant than children of non-distressed mothers. A step-wise discriminant function analysis revealed that maternal anxiety and maternal perception of child aggression made significant non-redundant contributions to the discrimination of maritally distressed and non-distressed marriages. The results were discussed in terms of the implications for the assessment and treatment of maritally distressed mothers and their children.

description: We shall prove here that conservation laws from Holst's Lagrangian, often used in LQG, do not agree with the corresponding conservation laws in standard GR. Nevertheless, these differences vanish on-shell, i.e. along solutions, so that they eventually define the same classical conserved quantities. Accordingly, they define in particular the same entropy of solutions, and the standard law S=A/4 is reproduced for systems described by Holst's Lagragian. This provides the classical support to the computation usually done in LQG for the entropy of black holes which is in turn used to fix the Barbero-Immirzi parameter.

description: We examine the response of closed-shell nuclei using a correlated interaction, derived with the Unitary Correlation Operator Method (UCOM) from the Argonne V18 potential, in second RPA (SRPA) calculations. The same correlated two-body interaction is used to derive the Hartree-Fock ground state and the SRPA equations. Our results show that the coupling of particle-hole states to higher-order configurations produces sizable effects compared with first-order RPA. A much improved description of the isovector dipole and isoscalar quadrupole resonances is obtained, thanks in part to the more fundamental treatment of the nucleon effective mass offered by SRPA. The present work suggests the prospect of describing giant resonance properties realistically and consistently within extended RPA theories. Self-consistency issues of the present SRPA method and residual three-body effects are pointed out.

description: Given an abelian category with arbitrary products, arbitrary co-products, and a generator, we show that the closed subspaces (in the sense of A. L. Rosenberg) are parameterized by a suitably defined poset of ideals in the generator. In particular, the collection of closed subspaces is itself a small poset. © 2006 American Mathematical Society.

description: Building on work by Florens and Georges, we formulate and study a self-consistent slave rotor mean field theory for strongly correlated systems. This approach views the electron, in the strong correlation regime, as a composite of a neutral spinon and a charged rotor field. We solve the coupled spinon-rotor model self-consistently using a cluster mean field theory for the rotors and various ansatzes for the spinon ground state. We illustrate this approach with a number of examples relevant to ongoing experiments in strongly correlated electronic systems such as: (i) the phase diagram of the isotropic triangular lattice organic Mott insulators, (ii) quasiparticle excitations and tunneling asymmetry in the weakly doped cuprate superconductors, and (iii) the cyclotron mass of carriers in commensurate spin-density wave and U(1) staggered flux (or d-density wave) normal states of the underdoped cuprates. We compare the estimated cyclotron mass with results from recent quantum oscillation experiments on ortho-II YBCO by N. Doiron-Leyraud et al (Nature 447, 565 [2007]) which appear to find hole pockets in the magnetic field induced normal state. We comment on the relation of this normal ground state to Fermi arcs seen in photoemission experiments above Tc. This slave rotor mean field theory can be generalized to study inhomogeneous states and strongly interacting models relevant to ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

description: Spectral and timing studies of Suzaku ToO observations of two SGRs, 1900+14 and 1806-20, are presented. The X-ray quiescent emission spectra were well fitted by a two blackbody function or a blackbody plus a power law model. The non-thermal hard component discovered by INTEGRAL was detected by the PIN diodes and its spectrum was reproduced by the power law model reported by INTEGRAL. The XIS detected periodicity P = 5.1998+/-0.0002 s for SGR 1900+14 and P = 7.6022+/-0.0007 s for SGR 1806-20. The pulsed fraction was related to the burst activity for SGR 1900+14.

description: We present ground-based SpectroCam-10 mid-infrared, MMT optical, and Spitzer Space Telescope IRS mid-infrared spectra taken 7.62, 18.75, and 19.38 years respectively after the outburst of the old classical nova QU Vulpeculae (Nova Vul 1984 #2). The spectra of the ejecta are dominated by forbidden line emission from neon and oxygen. Our analysis shows that neon was, at the first and last epochs respectively, more than 76 and 168 times overabundant by number with respect to hydrogen compared to the solar value. These high lower limits to the neon abundance confirm that QU Vul involved a thermonuclear runaway on an ONeMg white dwarf and approach the yields predicted by models of the nucleosynthesis in such events.

Transverse single spin asymmetries in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering

Subjects: hep-ph

description: In inclusive deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering multi-photon exchange between the leptonic and the hadronic part of the process causes single spin asymmetries. The asymmetries exist for a polarized target as well as a polarized incoming or outgoing lepton, if the polarization vector has a component transverse with respect to the reaction plane. The spin dependent parts of the single polarized cross sections are suppressed like αem mpol / Q-where mpol denotes the mass of the polarized particle-compared to the leading terms of the cross section for unpolarized or double-polarized deep-inelastic scattering. Both the target and the beam spin asymmetry are evaluated in the parton model. In the calculation only quark-quark correlators are included. While this approximation turns out to be justified for the lepton spin asymmetries, it is not sufficient for the target asymmetry. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The star ingesting luminosity of intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters

description: The dynamics of stars in the inner regions of nearby globular clusters (GCs) such as G1 indicate the presence of central concentrated dark masses, and one would like to know whether these are indeed intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs). As the number of surrounding stars, and their motions, are roughly known, the capture rate can be estimated; the question then arises of whether the apparent quiescence of the nuclei of these GCs is compatible with the IMBH's presence. The role of debris from disrupted stars in activating quiescent nuclei of GCs is studied here employing three-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations. It is argued that when individual stars are disrupted, the bulk of the debris would be swallowed or expelled rapidly compared with the interval between successive disruptions. Only a small fraction of the tightly bound mass is likely to be swallowed, yielding radiation with high efficiency, the surplus being expelled in a radiation-driven wind. A transient (predominantly of soft X-ray emission) signal could persist steadily with L ~ L_Edd =10^{41}(M_h/10^3M_sun) erg/s for at most tens of years; thereafter the flare would rapidly fade. While the infall rate declines as t^{-5/3}, some material may be stored for a longer time in an accretion disk. The IMBH luminosity could then remain as high as L_X > 10^{39} erg/s for several hundreds of years after disruption. In a given object, this ultraluminous X-ray activity would have a duty cycle of order 10^{-4}. Quiescent GCs, those with IMBHs now starved of fuel, should greatly outnumber active ones; observational constraints would not then be stringent until we had observed enough candidates to constitute a proper ensemble average.(abridged)

description: We present the UDF05 project, a HST Large Program of deep ACS (F606W, F775W, F850LP) and NICMOS (F110W, F160W) imaging of three fields, two of which coincide with the NICP1-4 NICMOS parallel observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). In this first paper we use the ACS data for the NICP12 field, as well as the original HUDF ACS data, to measure the UV Luminosity Function (LF) of z~5 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) down to very faint levels. Specifically, based on a V-i, i-z selection criterion, we identify a sample of 101 and 133 candidate z~5 galaxies down to z_{850}=28.5 and 29.25 magnitudes in the NICP12 and in the HUDF fields, respectively. Using an extensive set of Monte Carlo simulations we derive corrections for observational biases and selection effects, and construct the rest-frame 1400 A LBG LF over the range M_{1400}=[-21.4, -17.1], i.e. down to ~0.04 L* at z~5, and complement it with data from the Subaru Deep Field (SDF) from Yoshida et al. (2006) to extend it to the brighter end (M_{1400}>-22.2). We show that: (i) Different assumptions regarding the SED distribution of the LBG population, dust properties and intergalactic absorption result in a 25% variation in the number density of LBGs at z~5; (ii) Under consistent assumptions for dust properties and intergalactic absorption, the HUDF is about 30% under-dense in z~5 LBGs relative to the NICP12 field, a variation which is well explained by cosmic variance; (iii) The faint-end slope of the LF is independent of the specific assumptions for the input physical parameters, and has a value of alpha ~ -1.6, similar to the faint-end slope of the LF that has been measured for LBGs at z~3 and z~6.

description: A model is developed to study the effectiveness of innovation and its impact on structure creation and structure change on agent-based societies. The abstract model that is developed is easily adapted to any particular field. In any interacting environment, the agents receive something from the environment (the other agents) in exchange for their effort and pay the environment a certain amount of value for the fulfilling of their needs or for the very price of existence in that environment. This is coded by two bit strings and the dynamics of the exchange is based on the matching of these strings to those of the other agents. Innovation is related to the adaptation by the agents of their bit strings to improve some utility function.

Tricritical phenomena at the γ→α transition in Ce0.9-xLaxTh0.1 alloys
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2006
Subjects: cond-mat.other

description: The γ→α isostructural transition in the Ce0.9-xLaxTh0.1 system is measured as a function of La alloying using specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, thermal expansivity or striction measurements. A line of discontinuous transitions, as indicated by the change in volume, decreases exponentially from 118 K to close to 0 K with increasing La doping, and the transition changes from being first-order to continuous at a critical concentration, xc0.14. At the tricritical point, the coefficient of the linear T term in the specific heat γ and the magnetic susceptibility increase rapidly near xc and approach large values at x=0.35 signifying that a heavy Fermi-liquid state evolves at large doping. The Wilson ratio reaches a value above 2 for a narrow range of concentrations near xc, where the specific heat and susceptibility vary most rapidly with the doping concentration. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

description: The paper introduces a general strategy for identifying strong local minimizers of variational functionals. It is based on the idea that any variation of the integral functional can be evaluated directly in terms of the appropriate parameterized measures. We demonstrate our approach on a problem of W 1,∞ sequential weak-*local minima - a slight weakening of the classical notion of strong local minima. We obtain the first quasiconvexity-based set of sufficient conditions for W 1,∞ sequential weak-*local minima. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
