Collapse transition of randomly branched polymers: renormalized field theory.
We present a minimal dynamical model for randomly branched isotropic polymers, and we study this model in the framework of renormalized field theory. For the swollen phase, we show that our model provides a route to understand the well-established dimensional-reduction results from a different angle. For the collapse θ transition, we uncover a hidden Becchi-Rouet-Stora supersymmetry, signaling ...
متن کاملRenormalized field theory of collapsing directed randomly branched polymers.
We present a dynamical field theory for directed randomly branched polymers and in particular their collapse transition. We develop a phenomenological model in the form of a stochastic response functional that allows us to address several interesting problems such as the scaling behavior of the swollen phase and the collapse transition. For the swollen phase, we find that by choosing model para...
متن کاملBranched Polymers
Intended as models in chemistry or biology, branched polymers are often modeled, in turn, by lattice animals (trees on a grid); see, e.g., [3, 5, 8, 10, 18, 19]. However, continuum polymers turn out to be in some respects more tractable than their grid cousins. In order to study the behavior of branched polymers, and in particular to define and understand what random examples look like, we must...
متن کاملA fresh look at preoperative body washing
National guidelines do not support preoperative body washing to reduce surgical site infections, instead recommending bathing or showering with soap. Yet preoperative body washing continues to be widely used in many hospitals across Europe. This paper suggests that existing trials of preoperative body washing, upon which guidelines are based, are dated and proposes a new investigation of preope...
متن کاملA Fresh Look at Vocabulary Spurts
There is currently rather little agreement about the existence of, and explanation for, a vocabulary spurt in children during the second year. Here we apply a Functional Data Analysisbased technique called Automatic Maxima Detection to the problem of finding vocabulary spurts in a sample of 20 children. Even with considerable smoothing of the data, children were found to exhibit multiple vocabu...
