0 Aperiodicity and Disorder – Does it Matter ?
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of an aperiodic order or a random disorder on phase transitions in statistical mechanics are discussed. A heuristic relevance criterion based on scaling arguments as well as specific results for Ising models with random disorder or certain kinds of aperiodic order are reviewed. In particular, this includes an exact real-space renormalization treatment of the Ising quantum chains with coupling constants modulated according to substitution sequences, related to a two-dimensional classical Ising model with layered disorder.

Aperiodicity Measure for Infinite Sequences
We introduce the notion of aperiodicity measure for in nite symbolic sequences. Informally speaking, the aperiodicity measure of a sequence is the maximum number (between 0 and 1) such that this sequence di ers from each of its non-identical shifts in at least fraction of symbols being this number. We give lower and upper bounds on the aperiodicity measure of a sequence over a xed alphabet. We ...

متن کاملAperiodicity at Topic Structure Boundaries - Zellers & Post SP10 revised
Topic structure in longer discourses has been shown to be marked in speech by prosodic variations, e.g. variations in fundamental frequency (F0) and speech rate. We investigated whether variations in voice quality, specifically aperiodicity as an aspect of glottalization, were also signals to topic structure by varying to indicate the strength of discourse boundaries. We found that variation in...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
