We construct a rejection-free Monte Carlo algorithm for a system with continuous degrees of freedom. We illustrate the algorithm by applying it to the classical three-dimensional Heisenberg model with canonical Metropolis dynamics. We obtain the lifetime of the metastable state following a reversal of the external magnetic field. Our rejection-free algorithm obtains results in agreement with a ...

This paper looks at disciplinary differences in the production, relevance, and use of three predominant genres of informal scholarly communication on the internet: academic mailing lists; scholarly homepages, and scholar-produced decentralized digital resources. The aim is to contribute to the development of a theoretical framework for understanding and explaining disciplinary differences in th...

This paper investigates research specialisation of top ranked universities around the world. The revealed comparative advantage in different research fields are determined according to the number of research articles published. Subsequently, measures of research ubiquity and diversity, and research complexity index of each university, are obtained and discussed. The study is conducted on top-ra...
