Numerical simulations by Tanaka and co-workers indicate that glass-forming systems of moderately polydisperse hard-core particles, in both two and three dimensions, exhibit diverging correlation lengths. These correlations are described by Ising-like critical exponents, and are associated with diverging, Vogel-Fulcher-Tamann, structural relaxation times. Related simulations of thermalized hard ...

Glenn T. Seaborg, the president-e'ect, has served science and has encouraged the utilization of science in the service of mankind for more than 30 years. His contributions have ranged from those of an outstanding laboratory research scientist, with accomplishments worthy of the Nobel prize, to those of the government public servant, who encouraged the use of science and technology for improveme...

The selected lithium germanium-phosphate glass was prepared by a conventional melt-quenching technique. XRD method employed to confirm the obtained and reveal crystalline phases during heat treatment. dilatometry (DIL), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used determine characteristic temperatures enthalpies of crystallization melting phase. DTA DIL obtain visco...

The efficient-markets hypothesis was formulated in the early 1960s, when Cournot’s principle was no longer widely understood and accepted as a philosophical foundation for probability theory. A revival of Cournot’s principle can help us distinguish clearly among different aspects of market efficiency. Glenn Shafer is Professor in the Rutgers Business School Newark and New Brunswick, 180 Univers...

It is a pleasure to write this commentary because it offers an opportunity to express my gratitude to several people who helped me in ways that turned out to be essential to the birth of [8]. They also had a good deal to do with shaping my early career and, consequently, much of what followed. The immediate event that triggered my interest in this topic occurred early in 1971 in connection with...
