Detection of Nonverbal Synchronization through Phase Difference in Human Communication

Nonverbal communication is an important factor in human communication, and body movement synchronization in particular is an important part of nonverbal communication. Some researchers have analyzed body movement synchronization by focusing on changes in the amplitude of body movements. However, the definition of "body movement synchronization" is still unclear. From a theoretical viewpoint, ph...

Quantum Phase Transitions

Phase transitions which occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal parameter like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is changed are called quantum phase transitions. They are caused by quantum fluctuations which are a consequence of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. These lecture notes give a pedagogical introduction to quantum phase transitions. After collecting a few basi...

Onset of fast magnetic reconnection via subcritical bifurcation

We report a phase transition model for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection. By investigating the joint dynamics of streaming instability (i.e., current driven ion acoustic in this paper) and current gradient driven whistler wave prior to the onset of fast reconnection, we show that the nonlinear evolution of current sheet (CS) can be described by a Landau-Ginzburg equation. The phase transi...

Uncertainty in Chaos Synchronization

In this paper a variety of uncertainty phenomena in chaos synchronization, which are caused by the sensitive dependence on initial conditions and coupling strength, are numerically investigated. Two identical Chua’s circuits are considered for both mutuallyand unidirectionallycoupled systems. It is found that initial states of the system play an important role in chaos synchronization. Dependin...
