Coarse graining and first order phase transitions [PDF]

, 1996
We discuss the dependence of the coarse grained free energy and the classical interface tension on the coarse graining scale $k$. A stable range appears only if the renormalized dimensionless couplings at the critical temperature are small.

Criterion Validity of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Second Edition for Diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Adults

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
Background: While the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II) is the gold-standard for measurement of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom severity, its factor structure is still a matter of debate and, most importantly, criterion ...

Shear wave ultrasound elastography of the biceps brachii can be used as a precise proxy for passive elbow torque in individuals with hemiparetic stroke

Physiological Reports, 2023
Muscle tissue is prone to changes in composition and architecture following stroke. Changes in muscle tissue of the extremities are thought to increase resistance to muscle elongation or joint torque under passive conditions.

Equation of state and coarse grained free energy for matrix models [PDF]

, 1996
We investigate phase transitions in three dimensional scalar matrix models, with special emphasis on complex $2 \times 2$ matrices. The universal equation of state for weak first order phase transitions is computed.

Dynamical Density Fluctuation of Superfluids near Critical Velocities

, 2010
We propose a stability criterion of superfluids in condensed Bose-Einstein systems, which incorporates the spectral function or the autocorrelation function of the local density.
