Structural, i.e. qualitative changes in some motor dimensions (strength and endurance) were assessed during a 2-month period in a sample of 307 male subjects, Croatian Navy draftees, mean age 21 years. Study subjects were divided into three groups: experimental group 1 (n = 102), experimental group 2 (n = 97) and control group (n = 108), submitted to different kinesiologic treatments. The struc...

A study of the combined influence of prior knowledge and stimulus dimensionality on category learning was conducted. Subjects learned category structures with the same number of necessary dimensions but with more or fewer additional, redundant dimensions and with either knowledge-related or knowledge-unrelated features. Minimal-learning models predict that all subjects, regardless of condition,...

We describe two distinct approaches for bosonization in higher dimensions ; one is based on a direct comparison of current correlation functions while the other relies on a Master lagrangean formalism. These are used to bosonize the Massive Thirring Model in three and four dimensions in the weak coupling regime but with an arbitrary fermion mass. In both approaches the explicit bosonized lagran...

In this talk, we summarize the collider phenomenology and recent experimental results for various models of extra dimensions, including the large extra dimensions (ADD model), warped extra dimensions (Randall-Sundrum model), TeV −1-sized extra dimensions with gauge bosons in the bulk, universal extra dimensions, and an 5D SU(5) SUSY GUT model in AdS space.

We show analytically that the [0, 1], [1, 1], and [2, 1] Padé approximants of the mean cluster number S for both overlapping hyperspheres and overlapping oriented hypercubes are upper bounds on this quantity in any Euclidean dimension d. These results lead to lower bounds on the percolation threshold density η(c), which become progressively tighter as d increases and exact asymptotically as d →...

We study the restricted solid-on-solid model for surface growth in spatial dimension d=4 by means of a multisurface coding technique that allows us to analyze samples of size up to 256(4) in the steady-state regime. For such large systems we are able to achieve a controlled asymptotic regime where the typical scale of the fluctuations are larger than the lattice spacing used in the simulations....

It has been recently shown that the percolation transition is discontinuous in Erdos-Rényi networks and square lattices in two dimensions under the Achlioptas process (AP). Here, we show that when the structure is highly heterogeneous as in scale-free networks, a discontinuous transition does not always occur: a continuous transition is also possible depending on the degree distribution of the ...

Simple and practical finite-volume schemes for the lattice Boltzmann equation are derived in two and three dimensions through the application of modern finite-volume methods. The schemes use a finite-volume vortex-type formulation based on quadrilateral elements in two dimensions and trilinear hexahedral elements in three dimensions. It is shown that the schemes are applicable to domains with i...

Axial diffusion in a two-dimensional channel of smoothly varying geometry can be approximately described as one-dimensional diffusion in the entropy potential with position-dependent effective diffusivity by means of the modified Fick-Jacobs equation. In this paper, Brownian dynamics simulations are used to study the range of applicability of such a description, as well as the accuracy of the e...
