The diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) without an increase in blasts and ringed sideroblasts (low-grade MDS without ringed sideroblasts [LGw/oRS]) may be problematic because dysplastic features are not specific to MDS and approximately 50% of patients with LGw/oRS lack chromosomal aberrations. Here, we report the usefulness of flow cytometric characteristics of CD34(+) cells for LGw/o...

All isotropy subgroups (and thus all quasicontinuous symmetry changes) corresponding to k points of symmetry have been obtained for the 80 diperiodic space groups. The detailed information for such phase transitions is given here for the diperiodic space group I'———.Only two distinct images (sets of representation matrices) occur for this example yielding Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) Hamiltonia...

A number of examples have demonstrated the failure of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson LGW paradigm in describing the competing phases and phase transitions of two-dimensional quantum magnets. In this paper, we argue that such magnets possess field theoretic descriptions in terms of their slow fluctuating orders provided certain topological terms are included in the action. These topological terms ma...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effect of previous BW gain during winter grazing on subsequent growth, carcass characteristics, and change in body composition during the feedlot finishing phase. In each experiment, 48 fall-weaned Angus x Angus-Hereford steer calves were assigned randomly to one of three treatments: 1) high rate of BW gain grazing winter wheat (HGW), 2) low rate of...

Let F and Fm be the usual spaces of n-dimensional column and m-dimensional row vectors on F, respectively, where F is the field of real or complex numbers. In this paper, the relations gsmajorization, lgw-majorization, and rgw-majorization are considered on F and Fm. Then linear maps T : F → F preserving lgw-majorization or gs-majorization and linear maps S : Fn → Fm, preserving rgw-majorizatio...

Bosek and Krawczyk exhibited an on-line algorithm for partitioning an on-line poset of width w into w lgw chains. They also observed that the problem of on-line chain partitioning of general posets of width w could be reduced to First-Fit chain partitioning of (2w + 1)-ladder-free posets of width w, where an m-ladder is the transitive closure of the union of two incomparable chains x1 6 . . . 6...

This paper reviews a recent non-Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) approach to superfluid to Mott insulator transitions in two dimensional bosonic lattice systems, using a dual vortex field theory. The physical interpretation of conventional LGW theory of quantum criticality is re-examined and similarities and differences with the vortex picture are discussed. The “unification” of various competing (...

We investigate the critical behavior of three-dimensional antiferromagnetic CP (ACP) models in cubic lattices, which are characterized by a global U(N) symmetry and a local U(1) gauge symmetry. Assuming that critical fluctuations are associated with a staggered gauge-invariant (hermitian traceless matrix) order parameter, we determine the corresponding Landau-GinzburgWilson (LGW) model. For N =...

– The quantum ferromagnetic transition of itinerant electrons is considered. It isshown that the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson theory described by Hertz and others breaks down dueto a singular coupling between fluctuations of the conserved order parameter. This couplinginduces an effective long-range interaction between the spins of the form1/r. It leadsto unusual scaling behavior ...
