A comparison of extremal optimization with flat-histogram dynamics for finding spin-glass ground states

, 2002
We compare the performance of extremal optimization (EO), flat-histogram and equal-hit algorithms for finding spin-glass ground states. The first-passage-times to a ground state are computed. At optimal parameter of tau=1.15, EO outperforms other methods

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Parametrical study of miniature generators for large motion applications [PDF]

, 2005
Designing a generator for large amplitude motion has lead to an energy-consistent model that also considers the finite dimensions of the device. Using SPICE software we have studied the influence of several design parameters on the output of the ...

Inpatient Food Insecurity and Pediatric Hematology Oncology Hospitalization Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with cancer and blood disorders are at risk for food insecurity (FI). We aimed to describe the association of inpatient food insecurity (IFI) and hospitalization outcomes among patients admitted to the pediatric hematology oncology service. Of 325 caregivers screened for IFI, 60 (18.6%) screened positive.

Husbandry Conditions and Welfare State of Pet Chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera) and Caretakers’ Perceptions of Stress and Emotional Closeness to Their Animals

Animals
For pet chinchillas, limited data are available on husbandry and the human–animal relationship despite their impact on health, behavior, and welfare. We conducted an online survey with pet chinchilla caretakers (n = 336), targeting husbandry practices ...

Partial entropy in finite-temperature phase transitions

, 2007
It is shown that the von Neumann entropy, a measure of quantum entanglement, does have its classical counterpart in thermodynamic systems, which we call partial entropy.
