Field theory of bi- and tetracritical points: Relaxational dynamics
We calculate the relaxational dynamical critical behavior of systems of
symmetry by renormalization group method within the
minimal subtraction scheme in two loop order. The three different bicritical
static universality classes previously found for such systems correspond to
three different dynamical universality classes within the static borderlines.
The Heisenberg and the biconical fixed point lead to strong dynamic scaling
whereas in the region of stability of the decoupled fixed point weak dynamic
scaling holds. Due to the neighborhood of the stability border between the
strong and the weak scaling dynamic fixed point corresponding to the static
biconical and the decoupled fixed point a very small dynamic transient
exponent, of , is present in the dynamics for the
physically important case and in .Comment: 8 figure
Field theory of bicritical and tetracritical points. III. Relaxational dynamics including conservation of magnetization (Model C)
We calculate the relaxational dynamical critical behavior of systems of
symmetry including conservation of magnetization by
renormalization group (RG) theory within the minimal subtraction scheme in two
loop order. Within the stability region of the Heisenberg fixed point and the
biconical fixed point strong dynamical scaling holds with the asymptotic
dynamical critical exponent where is the crossover
exponent and the exponent of the correlation length. The critical
dynamics at and is governed by a small dynamical transient
exponent leading to nonuniversal nonasymptotic dynamical behavior. This may be
seen e.g. in the temperature dependence of the magnetic transport coefficients.Comment: 6 figure
Longitudinal Losses Due to Breathing Mode Excitation in Radiofrequency Linear Accelerators
Transverse breathing mode oscillations in a particle beam can couple energy
into longitudinal oscillations in a bunch of finite length and cause
significant losses. We develop a model that illustrates this effect and explore
the dependence on mismatch size, space-charge tune depression, longitudinal
focusing strength, bunch length, and RF bucket length
Aluminum arsenide cleaved-edge overgrown quantum wires
We report conductance measurements in quantum wires made of aluminum
arsenide, a heavy-mass, multi-valley one-dimensional (1D) system. Zero-bias
conductance steps are observed as the electron density in the wire is lowered,
with additional steps observable upon applying a finite dc bias. We attribute
these steps to depopulation of successive 1D subbands. The quantum conductance
is substantially reduced with respect to the anticipated value for a spin- and
valley-degenerate 1D system. This reduction is consistent with
disorder-induced, intra-wire backscattering which suppresses the transmission
of 1D modes. Calculations are presented to demonstrate the role of strain in
the 1D states of this cleaved-edge structure.Comment: Submitted to Applied Physics Letter
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and the Calogero-Sutherland-Moser integrable models with exchange terms
It is shown that from some solutions of generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov
equations one can construct eigenfunctions of the Calogero-Sutherland-Moser
Hamiltonians with exchange terms, which are characterized by any given
permutational symmetry under particle exchange. This generalizes some results
previously derived by Matsuo and Cherednik for the ordinary
Calogero-Sutherland-Moser Hamiltonians.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, no figures, to be published in J. Phys.
Motion of four-dimensional rigid body around a fixed point: an elementary approach. I
The goal of this note is to give the explicit solution of Euler-Frahm
equations for the Manakov four-dimensional case by elementary means. For this,
we use some results from the original papers by Schottky [Sch 1891], Koetter
[Koe 1892], Weber [We 1878], and Caspary [Ca 1893]. We hope that such approach
will be useful for the solution of the problem of -dimensional top.Comment: LaTeX, 9 page
Two-Hole Bound States from a Systematic Low-Energy Effective Field Theory for Magnons and Holes in an Antiferromagnet
Identifying the correct low-energy effective theory for magnons and holes in
an antiferromagnet has remained an open problem for a long time. In analogy to
the effective theory for pions and nucleons in QCD, based on a symmetry
analysis of Hubbard and t-J-type models, we construct a systematic low-energy
effective field theory for magnons and holes located inside pockets centered at
lattice momenta (\pm pi/2a,\pm pi/2a). The effective theory is based on a
nonlinear realization of the spontaneously broken spin symmetry and makes
model-independent universal predictions for the entire class of lightly doped
antiferromagnetic precursors of high-temperature superconductors. The
predictions of the effective theory are exact, order by order in a systematic
low-energy expansion. We derive the one-magnon exchange potentials between two
holes in an otherwise undoped system. Remarkably, in some cases the
corresponding two-hole Schr\"odinger equations can even be solved analytically.
The resulting bound states have d-wave characteristics. The ground state wave
function of two holes residing in different hole pockets has a d_{x^2-y^2}-like
symmetry, while for two holes in the same pocket the symmetry resembles d_{xy}.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figure
On the spectrum of S=1/2 XXX Heisenberg chain with elliptic exchange
It is found that the Hamiltonian of S=1/2 isotropic Heisenberg chain with
sites and elliptic non-nearest-neighbor exchange is diagonalized in each sector
of the Hilbert space with magnetization , , by means of
double quasiperiodic meromorphic solutions to the -particle quantum
Calogero-Moser problem on a line. The spectrum and highest-weight states are
determined by the solutions of the systems of transcendental equations of the
Bethe-ansatz type which arise as restrictions to particle pseudomomenta.Comment: 9 pages, Late
Merger of two dispatch centres: does it improve quality and patient safety?
Dispatch centres (DCs) are considered an essential but expensive component of many highly developed healthcare systems. The number of DCs in a country, region, or state is usually based on local history and often related to highly decentralised healthcare systems. Today, current technology (Global Positioning System or Internet access) abolishes the need for closeness between DCs and the population. Switzerland went from 22 DCs in 2006 to 17 today. This study describes from a quality and patient safety point of view the merger of two DCs.
The study analysed the performance (over and under-triage) of two medical DCs for 12 months prior to merging and for 12 months again after the merger in 2015. Performance was measured comparing the priority level chosen by dispatcher and the severity of cases assessed by paramedics on site using the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) score. We ruled that NACA score > 3 (injuries/diseases which can possibly lead to deterioration of vital signs) to 7 (lethal injuries/diseases) should require a priority dispatch with lights and siren (L&S). While NACA score < 4 should require a priority dispatch without L&S. Over-triage was defined as the proportion of L&S dispatches with a NACA score < 4, and under-triage as the proportion of dispatches without L&S with a NACA > 3.
Prior to merging, Dispatch A had a sensitivity/specificity regarding the use of lights and sirens and severity of cases of 86%/48% with over- and under-triage rates of 78% and 5%, respectively. Dispatch B had sensitivity and specificity of 92%/20% and over- and under-triage rates of 84% and 7%, respectively. After they merged, global sensitivity/specificity reached 87%/67%, and over- and under-triage rates were 71% and 3%, respectively CONCLUSIONS: A part the potential cost advantage achieved by the merger of two DCs, it can improve the quality of services to the population, reducing over- and under-triage and the use of lights and sirens and therefore, the risk of accidents. This is especially the case when a DC with poor triage performance merges with a high-performing DC
