With large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, we confirm that for the two-dimensional XY model, there is a logarithmic correction to scaling in the dynamic relaxation starting from a completely disordered state, while only an inverse power law correction in the case of starting from an ordered state. The dynamic exponent z is z = 2.04(1).

Persistent differences among Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) obtained with different MRI scanners or different pulse sequences is currently a major challenge worldwide, where large scale clinical trials, cross-sectional studies, or longitudinal studies are being conducted [1,2]. Routine analysis of thousands of brain and spinal cord MRI images is being conducted worldwide which were taken with...

We derive a quantum mechanical correction to the semiclassical Fermi golden rule operator for scattering of electrons in a crystal. This correction takes into account the fact that electron-phonon interaction is not instantaneous in quantum mechanics. The corrective term is derived via an oscillatory, i.e., weak, limit in the Levinson equation for large timescales.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the psychometric properties of a vision-targeted measure of health-related quality of life, the National Eye Institute-Refractive Error Quality of Life survey (NEI-RQL), which includes 13 scales designed to assess the impact of refractive error and its correction on day-to-day life. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. PARTICIPANTS The NEI-RQL was self-administered by 667 my...

The price transmission from the international market to the domestic market of tunas was investigated in the present research. For this purpose, the elasticity of substitution between tuna imports with goods produced in Iran (Armington Elasticity) was calculated. Armington elasticity reflects a degree of substitution between commodities produced domestically and those produced abroad. A greater...

The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [1]. In Equation (8), logarithm (ln) term is missing[...].

It has been previously reported that thermal emissive bands (TEB) 27–29 in the Terra (T-) MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have been significantly affected by electronic crosstalk. Successful linear theory of the electronic crosstalk effect was formulated, and it successfully characterized the effect via the use of lunar observations as viable inputs. In this paper, we repo...
