The Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with a random crystal field is studied in graph architecture, which the average connectivity controllable parameter. disordered over realizations treated by replica symmetry formalism of order parameter functions. A self-consistent equation for distribution local fields derived and numerically solved population dynamics algorithm. results show that amounts to cha...

A model is presented that explains perceptual compensation for context as a consequence of listeners optimally categorizing speech sounds given contextual variation. In using Bayes’ rule to pick the most likely category, listeners’ perception of speech sounds, which is biased toward the means of phonetic categories (Feldman & Griffiths, 2007; Feldman, Griffiths, & Morgan, 2009), is conditioned ...

We calculate a Griffiths-type ring for smooth complete intersections in Grassmannians. This is the analogue of classical Jacobian projective space and allows us to explicitly compute their Hodge groups.

use of mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that, while maintaining the aerobic growth characteristics of the parent wild-type, show a resistance to oligomycin (Avner & Griffiths, 1970; Griffiths et al., 1972). This resistance appears to be located in the ATPsynthesizing or -hydrolysing enzyme (ATPaset) of the inner mitochondrial membrane. As a less complex material than entire mitochondrial mem...

The magnetic analog of the Grüneisen parameter, i.e., the magnetocaloric effect, is a valuable tool for studying field-tuned quantum phase transitions. We determine the magnetic Grüneisen parameter of the one-dimensional random transverse-field Ising model, focusing on its lowtemperature behavior at the exotic infinite-randomness quantum critical point and in the associated quantum Griffiths ph...

Medical influence on health service management at district level could be eroded as the new Griffiths management arrangements are introduced by district health authorities. Most districts are changing the composition and functions of the district management team to accommodate their new general managers. District general managers are required to prepare new management arrangements for their dis...

Ganikhodjaev and Razak have proved versions of the two Griffiths inequalities for the ferromagnetic Potts model. We show how their inequalities may be derived via the FKG inequality for the random-cluster representation of the Potts model.
