Powers, president of the Civil Service Eployees Associaticn, warned this week. The U. S.

Griffiths phases on complex networks.

Quenched disorder is known to play a relevant role in dynamical processes and phase transitions. Its effects on the dynamics of complex networks have hardly been studied. Aimed at filling this gap, we analyze the contact process, i.e., the simplest propagation model, with quenched disorder on complex networks. We find Griffiths phases and other rare-region effects, leading rather generically to...

Grave prognosis on spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: GP on STAGE score.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is more common in Asia than in western countries, and has a high mortality rate. A simple prognostic score for predicting grave prognosis of ICH is lacking. Our objective was to develop a simple and reliable score for most physicians. MATERIAL AND METHOD ICH patients from seven Asian countries were enrolled between May 2000 ...

Temporal Griffiths phases.

Disorder is an unavoidable ingredient of real systems. Spatial disorder generates Griffiths phases (GPs) which, in analogy to critical points, are characterized by a slow relaxation of the order parameter and divergences of quantities such as the susceptibility. However, these singularities appear in an extended region of the parameter space and not just at a (critical) point, i.e., there is ge...
