Glassy Solutions of the Kardar-Pasrisi-Zhang Equation
It is shown that the mode-coupling equations for the strong-coupling limit of
the KPZ equation have a solution for d>4 such that the dynamic exponent z is 2
(with possible logarithmic corrections) and that there is a delta function term
in the height correlation function = (A/k^{d+4-z})
\delta(w/k^z) where the amplitude A vanishes as d -> 4. The delta function term
implies that some features of the growing surface h(x,t) will persist to all
times, as in a glassy state.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex, 1 figure available upon request (same as figure 1
in ref [10]) Important corrections have been made which yield a much simpler
picture of what is happening. We still find "glassy" solutions for d>4 where
z is 2 (with possible logarithmic corrections). However, we now find no
glassy solutions below d=4. A (linear) stability analysis (for d>4) has been
included. Also one Author has been adde
Team Learning: the Missing Construct from a Cross-Cultural Examination of Higher Education?
Team learning should be an important construct in organizational management research because team learning can enhance organizational learning and overall performance. However, there is limited understanding of how team learning works in different cultural contexts. Using an international comparative research approach, we developed a framework of antecedents and outcomes in the higher education context and tested it with samples from the UK and Vietnam. The results show that a common framework is applicable in the two different contexts, subject to slight modifications. However, this study does not find that team learning (measured via the proxy of “attitude towards team learning”) exhibits any statistically significant relationship as a predictor of the proposed outcomes. Other findings from this study on educational contexts are important not only to scholars in this field, but also for practicing managers, particularly those who study and operate in the extensive global market
