On the critical behaviour of two-dimensional liquid crystals

Condensed Matter Physics, 2010
The Lebwohl-Lasher (LL) model is the traditional model used to describe the nematic-isotropic transition of real liquid crystals. In this paper, we develop a numerical study of the temperature behaviour and of finite-size scaling of the two-dimensional ...

Critical phenomena of collapsing massless scalar wave packets

, 1996
An analytical model that represents the collapse of a massless scalar wave packet with continuous self-similarity is constructed, and critical phenomena are found.

Learning and Development Through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article focuses on learning that can facilitate the transition from being a scholarly teacher to becoming a scholar of teaching and learning, outlining the critical steps faculty can take to deepen their engagement with the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).

Conduction Mechanism Switching from Coulomb Blockade to Classical Critical Percolation Behavior in Disordered Nanoparticle Array

Advanced Electronic Materials
Large, open‐gate transistors made from metal nanoparticle arrays offer possibilities to build new electronic devices, such as sensors. A nanoparticle necklace network (N3) of Au particles from 300 K to cryogenic temperatures exhibit a nonohmic I–Vd ...

Concentration phenomena for critical fractional Schr\"odinger systems

, 2018
In this paper we study the existence, multiplicity and concentration behavior of solutions for the following critical fractional Schr\"odinger system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon^{2s} (-\Delta)^{s}u+V(x) u=Q_{u}(u, v)+\frac{1 ...

CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the

Ring polymers in confined geometries

Condensed Matter Physics, 2016
The investigation of a dilute solution of phantom ideal ring polymers and ring polymers with excluded volume interactions (EVI) in a good solvent confined in a slit geometry of two parallel repulsive walls and in a solution of colloidal particles of big ...

Dynamic critical phenomena in the AdS/CFT duality

, 2008
In critical phenomena, singular behaviors arise not only for thermodynamic quantities but also for transport coefficients. We study this dynamic critical phenomenon in the AdS/CFT duality.

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐
