We consider fluctuations of the local magnetic field in frustrated mean-field Ising models. Frustration can come about due to randomness of the interaction as in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, or through fixed interaction parameters but with varying signs. We consider central limit theorems for the fluctuation of the local magnetic field values w.r.t. the a priori spin distribution for both...

PURPOSE Simulation-based learning is increasingly used by healthcare professionals as a safe method to learn and practice non-technical skills, such as communication and leadership, required for effective crisis resource management (CRM). This systematic review was conducted to gain a better understanding of the impact of simulation-based CRM teaching on transfer of learning to the workplace an...

We investigate generalized Sherrington-Kirkpatrick glassy systems without reflection symmetry. In the neighborhood of the transition temperature, we, in general, uncover the structure of the glass state building the full-replica-symmetry-breaking solution. A physical example of the explicitly constructed solution is given.

We study local optima of the Hamiltonian of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We compute the exponent of the expected number of local optima and determine the “typical” value of the Hamiltonian. *Supported by NSERC Discovery Grant 341845. †Supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada. ‡Supported by the SpanishMinistry of Economy and Competitiveness, Gran...

Abstract. We introduce a Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model with the addition of elastic degrees of freedom. The problem is formulated in terms of an effective four-spin Hamiltonian in the pressure ensemble, which can be treated by the replica method. In the replica-symmetric approximation, we analyze the pressuretemperature phase diagram, and obtain expressions for the critical boundarie...

Polystyrene mounting medium obtainable Ltd, 20 Du The medium described by Kirkpatrick One pounc and Lendrum (1939) and named by them mountant DPX (Distrene plasticised in xylene) was (75°% one replaced by a better formula in 1941. This medium BPS (butyl phthalate plasticised styrene) has given excellent and economical service until recently. The current trouble was not due to the makers of the ...
