The nature of the long time decay at a second order transition point
We show that at a second order phase transition, of \phi^4 like system, a
necessary condition for streched exponential decay of the time structure factor
is obeyed. Using the ideas presented in this proof a crude estimate of the
decay of the structure factor is obtained and shown to yield stretched
exponential decay under very reasonable conditions.Comment: 7 page
Existence and approximation of Hunt processes associated with generalized Dirichlet forms
We show that any strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that
satisfies the mild structural condition D3 is associated to a Hunt process, and
that the associated Hunt process can be approximated by a sequence of
multivariate Poisson processes. This also gives a new proof for the existence
of a Hunt process associated to a strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet
form that satisfies SD3 and extends all previous results.Comment: Revised, shortened and improved versio
The Induced Magnetic Field of the Moon: Conductivity Profiles and Inferred Temperature
Electromagnetic induction in the moon driven by fluctuations of the interplanetary magnetic field is used to determine the lunar bulk electrical conductivity. The present data clearly show the north-south and east-west transfer function difference as well as high frequency rollover. The difference is shown to be compatible over the mid-frequency range with a noise source associated with the compression of the local remanent field by solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations. Models for two, three, and four layer; current layer, double current layer, and core plus current layer moons are generated by inversion of the data using a theory which incorporates higher order multipoles. Core radii conductivities generally are in the range 1200 to 1300 km and 0.001 to 0.003 mhos/m; and for the conducting shell 1500 to 1700 km with 0.0001 to 0.0007 mhos/m with an outer layer taken as nonconducting. Core temperature based on available olivine data is 700 to 1000 C
A volumetric Penrose inequality for conformally flat manifolds
We consider asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar
curvature that are conformal to , and so that
their boundary is a minimal hypersurface. (Here, is open
bounded with smooth mean-convex boundary.) We prove that the ADM mass of any
such manifold is bounded below by , where is the
Euclidean volume of and is the volume of the Euclidean
unit -ball. This gives a partial proof to a conjecture of Bray and Iga
\cite{brayiga}. Surprisingly, we do not require the boundary to be outermost.Comment: 7 page
Efficient Multi-Robot Motion Planning for Unlabeled Discs in Simple Polygons
We consider the following motion-planning problem: we are given unit
discs in a simple polygon with vertices, each at their own start position,
and we want to move the discs to a given set of target positions. Contrary
to the standard (labeled) version of the problem, each disc is allowed to be
moved to any target position, as long as in the end every target position is
occupied. We show that this unlabeled version of the problem can be solved in
time, assuming that the start and target positions are at
least some minimal distance from each other. This is in sharp contrast to the
standard (labeled) and more general multi-robot motion-planning problem for
discs moving in a simple polygon, which is known to be strongly NP-hard
Age-related changes in the relationship between alcohol use and violence from early adolescence to young adulthood
BACKGROUND: Despite the accumulation of studies examining the link between alcohol use and violence, no studies to our knowledge have systematically set out to detect age-related differences in these relationships. This limitation inhibits important insights into the stability of the relationship between alcohol use and violence among youth across varying ages.
METHOD: Study findings are based on repeated, cross-sectional data collected annually as part of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health between 2002 and 2013. We combined a series of nationally representative cross-sections to provide a multi-year string of data that, in effect, reflects a nationally representative non-traditional cohort. We conducted logistic regression analyses to examine the cross-sectional association between non-binge and binge drinking and violent attacks among youth between ages 12 (2002) and 24/25 (2013).
RESULTS: With respect to the association between non-binge alcohol use and violence, the only significant relationship identified—while controlling for sociodemographic and drug use factors—was for youth at age 13 (2003; OR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.04–3.72). For binge drinking, we identified a distinct pattern of results. Controlling for sociodemographic, drug use factors, and school enrollment, binge drinking was significantly associated with violence between ages 13 (2003) and 20 (2010) with the largest odds ratios observed during the early adolescent period.
CONCLUSIONS: Non-binge drinking is associated with violent behavior at age 13. Binge drinking was found to be associated with violence among youth through age 20; however, the relationship dissipates when youth arrive at the legal drinking age of 21
