Scaling Law and Aging Phenomena in the Random Energy Model
We study the effect of temperature shift on aging phenomena in the Random
Energy Model (REM). From calculation on the correlation function and simulation
on the Zero-Field-Cooled magnetization, we find that the REM satisfies a
scaling relation even if temperature is shifted. Furthermore, this scaling
property naturally leads to results obtained in experiment and the droplet
theory.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, to be submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Memory Effect, Rejuvenation and Chaos Effect in the Multi-layer Random Energy Model
We introduce magnetization to the Multi-layer Random Energy Model which has a
hierarchical structure, and perform Monte Carlo simulation to observe the
behavior of ac-susceptibility. We find that this model is able to reproduce
three prominent features of spin glasses, i.e., memory effect, rejuvenation and
chaos effect, which were found recently by various experiments on aging
phenomena with temperature variations.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figures, to be submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Precision Determination of the Neutron Spin Structure Function g1n
We report on a precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function
using deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons by polarized
^3He. For the kinematic range 0.014<x<0.7 and 1 (GeV/c)^2< Q^2< 17 (GeV/c)^2,
we obtain at an average . We find relatively large negative
values for at low . The results call into question the usual Regge
theory method for extrapolating to x=0 to find the full neutron integral
, needed for testing quark-parton model and QCD sum rules.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures To be published in Phys. Rev. Let

Understanding the growth in outdoor recreation participation: an opportunity for sport development in the United Kingdom
© 2018, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper examines the growth in importance and scale of the outdoor recreation sector in the United Kingdom. It establishes a five-component model to help understand the growth in this sub-sector of the wider sport and physical activity industry. The paper is based on a narrative literature review of the importance of outdoor recreation and also sets the position of the sector in terms of sport policy in the UK. From determining the factors that are underpinning the growing importance of the sector the article goes on to establish implications for policy and practice in sport policy and development in the UK and beyond. It seeks to establish lesson learning between industry and academia that has underpinned the evolution of outdoor recreation policy development in recent years. Furthermore, it establishes future research agendas and directions for those working in outdoor recreation and physical activity spaces and places
