Not-so-well-tempered neutralino

- 06 Target dark matter detection rates in models with a well - tempered neutralino

In the post-LEP2 era, and in light of recent measurements of the cosmic abundance of cold dark matter (CDM) in the universe from WMAP, many supersymmetric models tend to predict 1. an overabundance of CDM and 2. pessimistically low rates for direct detection of neutralino dark matter. However, in models with a " well-tempered neutralino " , where the neutralino composition is adjusted to give t...

The Well-tempered Computer

The psychological mechanism by which even musically untutored people can comprehend novel melodies resembles that by which they comprehend sentences of their native language. The paper identifies a syntax, a semantics, and a domain or “model”. These elements are examined in application to the task of harmonic comprehension and analysis of unaccompanied melody, and a computational theory is argu...

The Well-Tempered Critic

The well-tempered social brain.

Linking well-tempered metadynamics simulations with experiments.

Linking experiments with the atomistic resolution provided by molecular dynamics simulations can shed light on the structure and dynamics of protein-disordered states. The sampling limitations of classical molecular dynamics can be overcome using metadynamics, which is based on the introduction of a history-dependent bias on a small number of suitably chosen collective variables. Even if such b...
