Implementation of an Automatic, \u3cem\u3ea Posteriori\u3c/em\u3e, Hierarchical Classification System
This paper describes a total system which provides the capability to semi-automatically index and classify any given file of information. The semi-automatic indexing method assigns key terms to each document in the file . These key terms may be modified, (i.e., added, deleted, or changed) by the user. The indexed documents are then assigned to categories by an automatic classification algorithm. The classification assignments are a posteriori. Classification dictionaries are also produced which can be used as an aid in browsing through the data base and in retrievals from the data base.
Samples are given of the results obtained while indexing and classifying an experimental data base containing the texts of 1669 radio messages
Breakdown of the Migdal-Eliashberg theory in the strong-coupling adiabatic regime
In view of some recent works on the role of vertex corrections in the
electron-phonon system we readress an important question of the validity of the
Migdal-Eliashberg theory.
Based on the solution of the Holstein model and inverse coupling constant
expansion, we argue that the standard Feynman-Dyson perturbation theory by
Migdal and Eliashberg with or without vertex corrections cannot be applied if
the electron-phonon coupling constant is larger than 1 for any ratio
of the phonon and Fermi energies.
In the extreme adiabatic limit of the Holstein model electrons collapse into
self-trapped small polarons or bipolarons due to spontaneous
translational-symmetry breaking when is between 0.5 and 1.3
(depending on the lattice dimensionality). With the increasing phonon frequency
the region of the applicability of the theory shrinks to lower values of the
coupling constant.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Data Analysis Challenges for the Einstein Telescope
The Einstein Telescope is a proposed third generation gravitational wave
detector that will operate in the region of 1 Hz to a few kHz. As well as the
inspiral of compact binaries composed of neutron stars or black holes, the
lower frequency cut-off of the detector will open the window to a number of new
sources. These will include the end stage of inspirals, plus merger and
ringdown of intermediate mass black holes, where the masses of the component
bodies are on the order of a few hundred solar masses. There is also the
possibility of observing intermediate mass ratio inspirals, where a stellar
mass compact object inspirals into a black hole which is a few hundred to a few
thousand times more massive. In this article, we investigate some of the data
analysis challenges for the Einstein Telescope such as the effects of increased
source number, the need for more accurate waveform models and the some of the
computational issues that a data analysis strategy might face.Comment: 18 pages, Invited review for Einstein Telescope special edition of

The Kondo Resonance in Electron Spectroscopy
The Kondo resonance is the spectral manifestation of the Kondo properties of
the impurity Anderson model, and also plays a central role in the dynamical
mean-field theory (DMFT) for correlated electron lattice systems. This article
presents an overview of electron spectroscopy studies of the resonance for the
4f electrons of cerium compounds, and for the 3d electrons of V_2O_3, including
beginning efforts at using angle resolved photoemission to determine the
k-dependence of the resonance. The overview includes the comparison and
analysis of spectroscopy data with theoretical spectra as calculated for the
impurity model and as obtained by DMFT, and the Kondo volume collapse
calculation of the cerium alpha-gamma phase transition boundary, with its
spectroscopic underpinnings.Comment: 32 pages, 11 figures, 151 references; paper for special issue of J.

Radio Emission from SN 1994I in NGC 5194 (M 51) - The Best Studied Type Ib/c Radio Supernova
We present the results of detailed monitoring of the radio emission from the
Type Ic supernova SN 1994I from 3 days after optical discovery on 1994 March 31
until eight years later at age 2927 days on 2002 April 05. The data were mainly
obtained using the Very Large Array at the five wavelengths, 1.3, 2.0, 3.6,
6.2, and 21 cm, and from the Cambridge 5 km Ryle Telescope at 2.0 cm. Two
additional measurements were obtained at millimeter wavelengths. This data set
represents the most complete, multifrequency radio observations ever obtained
for a Type Ib/c supernova. The radio emission evolves regularly in both time
and frequency and is well described by established SN emission/absorption
models. It is the first radio supernova with sufficient data to show that it is
clearly dominated by the effects of synchrotron self-absorption at early times.Comment: 43 pages, 5 figure
Amygdala Nuclei Volumes Are Selectively Associated With Social Network Size in Homeless and Precariously Housed Persons
Objective: The amygdala is a brain region comprised of a group of functionally distinct nuclei that play a central role in social behavior. In homeless and precariously housed individuals, high rates of multimorbidity, and structural aspects of the environment may dysregulate social functioning. This study examined the neurobiological substrates of social connection in homeless and precariously housed persons by examining associations between amygdala nuclei volumes and social network size.
Methods: Sixty participants (mean age 43.6 years; 73.3% male) were enrolled from an ongoing study of homeless and precariously housed adults in Vancouver, Canada. Social network size was assessed using the Arizona Social Support Interview Schedule. Amygdala nuclei volumes were extracted from anatomic T1-weighted MRI data. The central and basolateral amygdala nuclei were selected as they are implicated in anxiety-related and social behaviors. The hippocampus was included as a control brain region. Multivariable regression analysis investigated the relationship between amygdala nuclei volumes and social network size.
Results: After controlling for age, sex, and total brain volume, individuals with the larger amygdala and central nucleus volumes had a larger network size. This association was not observed for the basolateral amygdala complex, though subsequent analysis found the basal and accessory basal nuclei of the basolateral amygdala were significantly associated with social network size. No association was found for the lateral amygdala nucleus or hippocampus.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that select amygdala nuclei may be differentially involved in the social connections of persons with multimorbid illness and social marginalization
Theory of Superconducting of doped fullerenes
We develop the nonadiabatic polaron theory of superconductivity of
taking into account the polaron band narrowing and realistic
electron-phonon and Coulomb interactions. We argue that the crossover from the
BCS weak-coupling superconductivity to the strong-coupling polaronic and
bipolaronic superconductivity occurs at the BCS coupling constant independent of the adiabatic ratio, and there is nothing ``beyond'' Migdal's
theorem except small polarons for any realistic electron-phonon interaction. By
the use of the polaronic-type function and the ``exact'' diagonalization in the
truncated Hilbert space of vibrons (``phonons'') we calculate the ground state
energy and the electron spectral density of the molecule. This
allows us to describe the photoemission spectrum of in a wide
energy region and determine the electron-phonon interaction. The strongest
coupling is found with the high-frequency pinch mode and with the
Frenkel exciton. We clarify the crucial role of high-frequency bosonic
excitations in doped fullerenes which reduce the bare bandwidth and the Coulomb
repulsion allowing the intermediate and low-frequency phonons to couple two
small polarons in a Cooper pair. The Eliashberg-type equations are solved for
low-frequency phonons. The value of the superconducting , its pressure
dependence and the isotope effect are found to be in a remarkable agreement
with the available experimental data.Comment: 20 pages, Latex, 4 figures available upon reques
