Covariantes continuas individuales dependientes del tiempo y el modelo de Cormack–Jolly–Seber
The Cormack–Jolly–Seber model provides the basic framework for analyzing the survival of animals in open populations using capture–recapture data. Extensions of this model have already been developed that allow the survival and capture probabilities to vary between individuals based on auxiliary variables, but none can allow for variables that are continuous, time–dependent, and vary among individuals. We summarize a new method for incorporating this type of variable into the Cormack–Jolly–Seber model by modelling the distribution of the unobserved values of the variable conditional on the observed values, given a few basic assumptions about how the variable changes over time. We begin with a hypothetical scenario as motivation for our model and also present the results of two examples used in developing the model.El modelo de Cormack–Jolly–Seber proporciona el marco básico para analizar la supervivencia de animales en poblaciones abiertas utilizando datos de captura–recaptura. Si bien se han desarrollado ampliaciones de este modelo que permiten variar las probabilidades de supervivencia y de captura entre individuos a partir de variables auxiliares, en ninguna de ellas es posible utilizar variables continuas, dependientes del tiempo y que varíen de un individuo a otro. El presente estudio analiza un nuevo método que permite la incorporación de este tipo de variable en el modelo de Cormack–Jolly–Seber mediante la modelación de la distribución de los valores no observados de la variable según los valores observados, tomando como referencia algunas asumciones básicas acerca de cómo la variable cambia con el tiempo. En primer lugar, presentamos un escenario hipotético con objeto de definir el modelo, para posteriormente indicar los resultados de dos ejemplos que utilizamos para su desarrollo
A Reanalysis of the Hydrodynamic Theory of Fluid, Polar-Ordered Flocks
I reanalyze the hydrodynamic theory of fluid, polar ordered flocks. I find
new linear terms in the hydrodynamic equations which slightly modify the
anisotropy, but not the scaling, of the damping of sound modes. I also find
that the nonlinearities allowed {\it in equilibrium} do not stabilize long
ranged order in spatial dimensions ; in accord with the Mermin-Wagner
theorem. Nonequilibrium nonlinearities {\it do} stabilize long ranged order in
, as argued by earlier work. Some of these were missed by earlier work; it
is unclear whether or not they change the scaling exponents in .Comment: 6 pages, no figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Crystal Structure and Magnetism of the Linear-Chain Copper Oxides Sr5Pb3-xBixCuO12
The title quasi-1D copper oxides (0=< x =<0.4) were investigated by neutron
diffraction and magnetic susceptibility studies. Polyhedral CuO4 units in the
compounds were found to comprise linear-chains at inter-chain distance of
approximately 10 A. The parent chain compound (x = 0), however, shows less
anisotropic magnetic behavior above 2 K, although it is of substantially
antiferromagnetic (mu_{eff}= 1.85 mu_{B} and Theta_{W} = -46.4 K) spin-chain
system. A magnetic cusp gradually appears at about 100 K in T vs chi with the
Bi substitution. The cusp (x = 0.4) is fairly characterized by and therefore
suggests the spin gap nature at Delta/k_{B} ~ 80 K. The chain compounds hold
electrically insulating in the composition range.Comment: To be published in PR
The susceptibility and excitation spectrum of (VO)PO in ladder and dimer chain models
We present numerical results for the magnetic susceptibility of a Heisenberg
antiferromagnetic spin ladder, as a function of temperature and the spin-spin
interaction strengths and . These are contrasted with new
bulk limit results for the dimer chain. A fit to the experimental
susceptibility of the candidate spin-ladder compound vanadyl pyrophosphate,
(VO)PO, gives the parameters meV and meV. With these values we predict a singlet-triplet energy gap of
meV, and give a numerical estimate of the ladder triplet
dispersion relation . In contrast, a fit to the dimer chain model
leads to meV and meV, which predicts a gap of meV.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures available upon request, RevTex 3.0, preprint

Spin gap in the Quasi-One-Dimensional S=1/2 Antiferromagnet: Cu2(1,4-diazacycloheptane)2Cl4
Cu_{2}(1,4-diazacycloheptane)_{2}Cl_{4} contains double chains of spin 1/2
Cu^{2+} ions. We report ac susceptibility, specific heat, and inelastic neutron
scattering measurements on this material. The magnetic susceptibility,
, shows a rounded maximum at T = 8 K indicative of a low dimensional
antiferromagnet with no zero field magnetic phase transition. We compare the
data to exact diagonalization results for various one dimensional
spin Hamiltonians and find excellent agreement for a spin ladder with
intra-rung coupling meV and two mutually frustrating
inter-rung interactions: meV and meV. The
specific heat in zero field is exponentially activated with an activation
energy meV. A spin gap is also found through inelastic
neutron scattering on powder samples which identify a band of magnetic
excitations for meV. Using sum-rules we derive an
expression for the dynamic spin correlation function associated with
non-interacting propagating triplets in a spin ladder. The van-Hove
singularities of such a model are not observed in our scattering data
indicating that magnetic excitations in Cu_{2}(1,4-diazacycloheptane)_{2}Cl_{4}
are more complicated. For magnetic fields above T specific
heat data versus temperature show anomalies indicating a phase transition to an
ordered state below T = 1 K.Comment: 9 pages, 8 postscript figures, LaTeX, Submitted to PRB 8/4/97, e-mail

PBStoHTCondor system for campus grids
The campus grid architectures currently available are considered to be overly complex. We have focused on High Throughput Condor HTCondor as one of the most popular middlewares among UK universities, and are proposing a new system for unifying campus grid resources. This new system PBStoCondor is capable of interfacing with Linux based system within the campus grids, and automatically determining the best resource for a given job. The system does not require additional efforts from users and administrators of the campus grid resources. We have compared the real usage data and PBStoCondor system simulation data. The results show a close match. The proposed system will enable better utilization of campus grid resources, and will not require modification in users' workflows
Finite-Field Ground State of the S=1 Antiferromagnetic-Ferromagnetic Bond-Alternating Chain
We investigate the finite-field ground state of the S=1
antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic bond-alternating chain described by the
Hamiltonian
{\calH}=\sum\nolimits_{\ell}\bigl\{\vecS_{2\ell-1}\cdot\vecS_{2\ell}
+J\vecS_{2\ell}\cdot\vecS_{2\ell+1}\bigr\} +D\sum\nolimits_{\ell}
\bigl(S_{\ell}^z)^2 -H\textstyle\sum\nolimits_\ell S_\ell^z, where

magnetization plateaux at a half of the saturation magnetization, the
1/2-plateaux, appear in the ground-state magnetization curve; one of them is of
the Haldane type and the other is of the large--type. We determine the
1/2-plateau phase diagram on the versus plane, applying the
twisted-boundary-condition level spectroscopy methods developed by Kitazawa and
Nomura. We also calculate the ground-state magnetization curves and the
magnetization phase diagrams by means of the density-matrix
renormalization-group method
