The three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson and mean-field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Ising spin glasses are studied via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations at low temperatures, deep within the spin-glass phase. Performing a careful statistical analysis of several thousand independent disorder realizations and using an observable that detects peaks in the overlap distribution, we show that the Sherring...

The EFQM excellence model is a famous quality management tool. We have translated it to be useful in elearning quality management. EFQM will be used as a framework for self-evaluation. We developed the e-learning stakeholder model. We identified the main criterion and positioned them in the stakeholder model. We present short the Kirkpatrick evaluation model of elearning. We developed a Kirkpat...

The touching graph of balls is a graph that admits a representation by non-intersecting balls in the space (of prescribed dimension), so that its edges correspond to touching pairs of balls. By a classical result of Koebe [?], the disc touching graphs are exactly the planar graphs. This paper deals with a recognition of unit-ball touching graphs. The 2– dimensional case was proved to be NP-hard...

In 1894, in the first volume of Psychological Review, E. A. Kirkpatrick performed “an experimental study of memory,” in which he showed that items presented as visual objects are better remembered than are words and that imagery aids retention of verbal materials. Those features of his paper have been cited, off and on, throughout the years. However, toward the end of the paper, Kirkpatrick rep...

112 Attachment theory is a powerful account of the formation of relational bonds that provide for physical survival and psychological security throughout the lifespan. It integrates findings from ethology, and from biological, psychodynamic, and cognitive-affective theories in psychology. Analyses of attachment bonds between infants and caregivers have been extended to attachments between roman...

Ronce and Kirkpatrick (2001) derived the model on which our first model (eqq. [1], [2]) is based, and our equation for evolution is identical to theirs. Our ecological model differs because we include nonlinear density dependence and mortality due to predation. It is useful to express the ecological model in terms of more familiar ecological and evolutionary parameters to point out a difference...
