Linear transformation techniques such as singular value decomposition (SVD) have been used widely to gain insight into the qualitative dynamics of data generated by dynamical systems. There have been several reports in the past that had pointed out the susceptibility of linear transformation approaches in the presence of nonlinear correla tions. In this tutorial review, the local dispersion alo...

Cyclic voltammetric surface waves were found for monolayers of Ru(bpy)Z(bpyY+, where bpy’ is 4-methyl4’-(dodecyl-l-thiol)-2,2’-bipyridine, which spontaneously adsorbs onto conducting substrates (indium tin oxide, polycrystalline gold). On polycrystalline gold, the monolayer, probably attached via the thiol functional group, is oxidized in an aqueous oxalate medium to produce electrogenerated ch...

Asymmetric information models predict a “pecking order” which reflects a combination of owner-manager preferences and external capital supply constraints whenever insiders know more about the true value of the firm’s prospects than outsiders. The pecking order results in retained earnings being the most preferred source of finance, then debt and finally the issue of new shares to outsiders. Usi...

The ground-state and low-energy properties of the two-dimensional J1−J2 Heisenberg model in the collinear phase are investigated using finite-size spin-wave theory [Q. F. Zhong and S. Sorella, Europhys. Lett. 21, 629 (1993)], and Lanczos exact diagonalizations. For spin one-half – where the effects of quantization are the strongest – the spinwave expansion turns out to be quantitatively accurat...
