Here we report on the status of our study [1,2] of Landau gauge-fixing algorithms. The efficiency of these algorithms is of key importance when gauge-dependent quantities — such as gluon and quark propagators — are evaluated, especially if the effect of Gribov copies is considered. The main issue regarding the efficiency of these algorithms is the problem of critical slowing-down (CSD), which o...

Recent reforms to the public health system in England aim to generate co-ordinated action between local authorities, healthcare systems and communities to target local health priorities. To support this effort, researchers must contribute and evaluate appropriate strategies for designing interventions tailored to community-specific needs. One strategy is to apply the Community Readiness Model (...

Traditional agrosilvopastoral systems have been an important component of the farming systems and livelihoods of thousands of ethnic minority people in the uplands of Mainland Southeast Asia. Drawing on a combination of qualitative and participatory inquiries in nine ethnic minority communities, this study emphasizes the complex articulation of local farmers’ knowledge which has been so far exc...
