The structure of the gaussian auxiliary field approximation in the theory of phase ordering kinetics is analysed with the aim of placing the method within the context of a systematic theory. While we are unable to do this for systems with a scalar order parameter, where the approximation remains uncontrolled, a systematic development about the gaussian approximation can be outlined for systems ...

Educational technology supports meaningful learning and enables the presentation of spatial and dynamic images, which portray relationships among complex concepts. The Technology-Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) Project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) involves media-rich software for simulation and visualization in freshman physics carried out in a specially redesigned classroo...

background: thalassemia is probably the most common single gene disorder causing a major public health problem in the world. currently, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is the only curative therapy for thalassemia. one major limitation of hsct is the lack of hla-identical sibling donors, so attention has turned to finding phenotypically matched unrelated donors. patients...

Coronavirus-like viruses, designated peafowl/China/LKQ3/2003 (pf/CH/LKQ3/03) and teal/China/LDT3/2003 (tl/CH/LDT3/03), were isolated from a peafowl and a teal during virological surveillance in Guangdong province, China. Partial genomic sequence analysis showed that these isolates had the S-3-M-5-N gene order that is typical of avian coronaviruses. The spike, membrane and nucleocapsid protein g...

— The paper shows that the current view of globalization as an automatic and benign force is flawed: it focuses on only one, positive, face of globalization while entirely neglecting the malignant one. The two key historical episodes that are adduced by the supporters of the ‘‘globalization as it is’’ (the Halcyon days of the 1870–1913, and the record of the last two decades of development) are...
