THE GOLDEN MEAN

Golden Mean Subshift Revised Introduction

We study subshifts of nite type on f0;1g Z 2 of the form where in a nite window there is always either one on no 1's present. The problem is converted to a tiling/covering problem on the (nZ) 2 lattice and its shifts. In this setup we consider the uniqueness of the equilibrium measure, density of 1's at equilibrium and the topological entropy. Further insight is achieved by realizing that the e...

Hybrid Learning: "Neither Fish Nor Fowl" or "The Golden Mean"

Traditionalists will argue that conventional classroom lectures have been and always will be the most effective form of teaching. In contrast, people focusing on progress will put pure e-teaching on a pedestal. Confronted with these two extremes, a natural reflex is to search for a compromise. Hybrid learning could be such a compromise. However, the important question is whether this is only a ...

Non-standard Visualizations of Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Mean

Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Mean are numbers and thus 0-dimensional objects. Usually, they are visualized in the Euclidean plane using squares and rectangles in a spiral arrangement. The Golden Mean, as a ratio, is an affine geometric concept and therefore Euclidean visualizations are not mandatory. There are attempts to visualize the Fibonacci number sequence and Golden Spirals in higher ...

Diagnostic approach of myocarditis: strike the golden mean

Myocarditis is a challenging diagnosis due to the extreme diversity of clinical manifestations. The actual incidence of myocarditis is also difficult to determine as endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), the diagnostic gold standard, is used infrequently. Nevertheless, in up to 30 % of patients with biopsy-proven myocarditis, progression to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) can occur and is associated with a...
