The Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM) learning rule provides a simple setup for synaptic modification that combines a Hebbian product rule with a homeostatic mechanism that keeps the weights bounded. The homeostatic part of the learning rule depends on the time average of the post-synaptic activity and provides a sliding threshold that distinguishes between increasing or decreasing weights. There ...

The crossover from Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductivity to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is difficult to realize in quantum materials because, unlike in ultracold atoms, one cannot tune the pairing interaction. We realize the BCS-BEC crossover in a nearly compensated semimetal, Fe1+y Se x Te1-x , by tuning the Fermi energy εF via chemical doping, which permits us to systematical...

Sensitivity analysis in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is studied in this paper for the Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes (CCR) ratio model and for the additive model. Different cases of additive or proportionate changes of inputs or/and of outputs of an efficient Decision Making Unit (DMU) according to the CCR model or according to the additive model are considered. Sufficient conditions for an efficient...

Graphene has exhibited a wealth of fascinating properties, but is also known not to be a superconductor. Remarkably, we show that graphene can be made a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor by the combined effect of charge doping and tensile strain. While the effect of doping obviously enlarges the Fermi surface, the effect of strain profoundly increases the electron-phonon cou...

We analyze the finite temperature phase diagram of fermion mixtures in one-dimensional optical lattices as a function of interaction strength. At low temperatures, the system evolves from an anisotropic three-dimensional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to an effectively two-dimensional Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) superfluid as the interaction strength increases. We calculat...

This study analyzes the relationship between the implementation and information disclosure of environmental continuous improvement (e-CI) in sustainable supply chain management. The analyzed data relates to e-CI delivered from 19 manufacturing industry types in Japan. A degenerated Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes model, a proposed model for data envelopment analysis, is also used for the analysis. The ob...

In the minds of the lay public, or even of scientists from unrelated fields, physics is mainly associated with extremes: big bangs and big bucks; the cosmic and the subnucleonic scales; matter in its most rarified form such as single trapped atoms; or measurements of extraordinary precision to detect phenomena-dark matter, proton decay, neutrino masses-which may well not be there at all. The in...

— We consider Hermitian N ×N random matrices H distributed according to a probability density dμN(H) = e−N Tr V (H)dH with analytic and uniformly convex V . From work by Zinn-Justin, Collins, and Guionnet & Maida it is known that the large-N limit of the scaled logarithm N−1 lnΩ(NK) of the Fourier transform Ω(K) of dμN(H) for K of finite rank, is a linear functional of the Voiculescu R-transfor...

The particle emission in relativistic hydrodynamic model is formulated assuming a sharp 3-dimensional space-time freeze-out hypersurface. The boundary conditions correspond to the energy-momentum and charge conservation between fluid and the gas of free particles . The emission and possible feedback of particles are included into the self-consistent hydrodynamic scheme. For the time-like parts ...

A single molecular layer of titanium diselenide (TiSe2) is a promising material for advanced electronics beyond graphene-a strong focus of current research. Such molecular layers are at the quantum limit of device miniaturization and can show enhanced electronic effects not realizable in thick films. We show that single-layer TiSe2 exhibits a charge density wave (CDW) transition at critical tem...
