Psychopathic, neurotic, and subcultural delinquents were verbally conditioned to dependency and aggressive verbs under conditions of frustration and no frustration. It was hypothesized that neurotics and subculturals, in contrast to psychopaths, would significantly increase socially reinforced verbalizations, especially under frustration. Further hypotheses concerning each delinquent subgroup's...

When search engine users have trouble finding what they are looking for, they become frustrated. In a pilot study, we found that 36% of queries submitted end with users being moderately to extremely frustrated. By modeling searcher frustration, search engines can predict the current state of user frustration, tailor the search experience to help the user find what they are looking for, and aver...

By means of exact diagonalization we study the ground-state and the low-temperature physics of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. Both are frustrated magnetic polytopes and correspond to the arrangement of magnetic atoms in the magnetic molecules Cu12La8 and Mo72Fe30. The interplay of strong quantum fluctuations and frustration influences the ground s...

We consider the effect of geometric frustration induced by the random distribution of loop lengths in the “fat” graphs of the dynamical triangulations model on coupled antiferromagnets. While the influence of such connectivity disorder is rather mild for ferromagnets in that an ordered phase persists and only the properties of the phase transition are substantially changed in some cases, any fi...
