Conformal profiles in theHilhorst – van Leeuwen model

We study the critical energy and magnetization profiles for the Ising quantum chain with a marginal extended surface perturbation of the form A/y, y being the distance from the surface (Hilhorst-van Leeuwen model). For weak local couplings, A < Ac, the model displays a continuous surface transition with A-dependent exponents, whereas, for A > Ac, there is surface order at the bulk critical poin...

Its immediate product is a recently published book, HISCO: Historical International Standard Classification of Occupations (van Leeuwen, Maas, and Miles 2002). The authors describe...

Although the editor, in his introduction, does not make it quite clear why at this particular point in time the decision was taken to reprint Louis Bolk's neuro-anatomical work on the segmental innervation ofthe human trunk and limbs, there can be no doubt that this monograph of 1910, both from a clinical and historical point of view, is a worthwhile publication. Bolk, the most influential of D...

Werkplaatsen van wetenschap en techniek. Industriële en academische laboratoria in Nederland 1860–1940. Tijdschrift voor de Geschiedenis der Geneeskunde, Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Techniek

historians seek to learn the nature of the young Scots doctors who came in droves to England throughout the hundred years straddling the first World War, this autobiography will be essential reading. When Sydney Laird's generation was at its most clinically active, a venereologist was jokingly defined as a doctor with many acquaintances but few friends. The joke stops here. My abiding memory of...
