Voting (or rank aggregation) is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One important voting rule is the Slater rule. It selects a ranking of the alternatives (or candidates) to minimize the number of pairs of candidates such that the ranking disagrees with the pairwise majority vote on these two candidates. The use of the Slater rule has been hindered by a lack of ...

A new algorithm is presented for the sparse representation and evaluation of Slater determinants in the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. The approach, combined with the use of localized orbitals in a Slater-type orbital basis set, significantly extends the size molecule that can be treated with the QMC method. Application of the algorithm to systems containing up to 390 electrons confirms that...

Background. The No Return Point hypothesis is one of the research areas that has been done in line with the motor program. In this hypothesis emphasized an inability to inhibition move after its start by the motor program. Several factors are affecting the mechanism of this inhibition. Objectives. In this study, we investigate the effects of audio and visual stimuli on blocking quick moves to ...

We study the interplay of strong electron correlations and intratriangle spin exchange at two-thirds filling single-orbital Hubbard model on decorated honeycomb lattice using rotationally invariant slave bosons. find that tunes between a spin-1 Mott insulator, metal, spin-0 insulator when is antiferromagnetic. The insulators occur from effective multiorbital interactions are adiabatically conne...

A global error bound is given on the distance between an arbitrary point in the n-dimensional real space R n and its projection on a nonempty convex set determined by m convex, possibly nondiierentiable, inequalities. The bound is in terms of a natural residual that measures the violations of the inequalities multiplied by a new simple condition constant that embodies a single strong Slater con...

The rat mammary gland has a high content of ribonucleic acid during late pregnancy when the gland is functionally inactive (Greenbaum & Slater, 1957b). Slater (1956) suggested that this high level of ribonucleic acid might result from a very low activity of nucleic acid-degrading enzymes (ribonucleases) during late pregnancy. Rat mammary gland contains high concentrations of heavymetal ions, e....

The celebrated S-lemma establishes a powerful equivalent condition for the nonnegativity of a quadratic function over a single quadratic inequality. However, this lemma fails without the technical condition, known as the Slater condition. In this paper, we first show that the Slater condition is indeed necessary for the S-lemma and then establishes a regularized form of the S-lemma in the absen...

The paper investigates issues of scale equivalence and generalisability across different populations. This area of research is important because it allows for valid comparisons to be made when studies investigate the same constructs across qualitatively distinct populations. The study investigates the generalisability of the Narver and Slater (1990) and the Kholi, Jaworski and Kumar (1993) mode...
