Minor Loops in the Harrison Model

The Harrison Bergeron olympics.

We appreciate Bermon and colleagues’ (2013) engagement with our critical reflection on the new hyperandrogenism policies from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) (Karkazis et al. 2012) and thank them for characterizing it as “exceptionally thoughtful and thorough.” In the spirit of continued dialogue, we would observe that ...

The expression of certain CD44 variants has been linked with metastasis and tumour progression. In particular, high molecular weight forms of CD44 show restricted expression in tumours and may correlate with tumour development and metastasis. In this study, we examined the expression of CD44 variants in prostate cancer cell lines: the invasive PC-3 and DU-145, low invasive LNCaP, and two non-in...

Exact expressions for minor hysteresis loops in the random field Ising model on a Bethe lattice at zero temperature.

We obtain exact expressions for the minor hysteresis loops in the ferromagnetic random field Ising model on a Bethe lattice at zero temperature in the case when the driving field is cycled infinitely slowly.

Loops in the Curvature Matrix Model

Macroscopic loop correlators are investigated in the hermitian one matrix model with the potential perturbed by the higher order curvature term. In the phase of smooth surfaces the model is equivalent to the minimal conformal matter coupled to gravity. The properties of the model in the intermediate phase are similar to that of the discretized bosonic string with the central charge C > 1. Loop ...
