Abstract We consider classical spin systems evolving in continuous time with interactions given by a locally tree-like graph. Several approximate analysis methods have earlier been reported based on the idea of Belief Propagation / cavity method. introduce new such method which can be derived more systematic manner using theory Random Point Processes. Within this approach, master equation gover...

The common points and differences between the Bray-Liebhafsky and BriggsRauscher reactions are discussed. The reactants of the non-catalyzed version of the Briggs-Rauscher reaction being the same as those of the Bray-Liebhafsky reaction plus a reducing organic compound, the mechanisms of these two systems must have several common points. The marked difference between the oscillating behaviours ...

In a study of the metabolism of the 19 members of the chloromononitrobenzene series (for summary and references see Table 4 of Bray, James & Thorpe, 1957 b) it was observed that in the rabbit several compounds were converted into mercapturic acids by replacement of a relatively labile chlorine atom. The formation of mercapturic acid by acetylcysteyldebromination of4-bromo-3:5-dichloronitrobenze...

The phase separation process which follows a sudden quench inside the coexistence region is considered for a binary fluid subjected to an applied shear flow. This issue is studied in the framework of the convection-diffusion equation based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional in the approximation scheme introduced by Bray and Humayun [Phys.Rev.Lett. 68, 1559, (1992)]. After an early stag...

In a recent As I See It, Yoshioka (2008, Mar Ecol Prog Ser 368:309–310) stated that the term Bray-Curtis should only be used for doubly-standardised data, and when data counts are used to calculate similarity, the term Czekanowski is correct; by using the wrong name, it is claimed, marine ecologists demonstrate a lack of knowledge and introduce confusion. This needs to be rectified. It is incor...

Even though having some credibility in trans-disciplinary research (see e.g., Stehr and von Storch 1995, Bray and von Storch 1999, von Storch 2009, Bray and von Storch 2009 or Stehr and von Storch 2010), we may not have fully grasped the conceptions and arguments of S. Keller. What stuck to us was the complaint that the IPCC, mainly under the influence of Bert Bolin, would have failed to issue ...

We give a very general isoperimetric comparison theorem which, as an important special case, gives hypotheses under which the spherically symmetric (n− 1)-spheres of a spherically symmetric n-manifold are isoperimetric hypersurfaces, meaning that they minimize (n − 1)-dimensional area among hypersurfaces enclosing the same n-volume. This result greatly generalizes the result of Bray (Ph.D. thes...
