Using the dynamical cluster approximation and quantum Monte Carlo simulations we calculate the single-particle spectra of the Hubbard model with next-nearest neighbor hopping . In the underdoped region, we find that the pseudogap along the zone diagonal in the electron doped systems is due to long-range antiferromagnetic correlations. The physics in the proximity of (0, pi) is dramatically infl...

We introduce a new statistical quantity the energy to test whether two samples originate from the same distributions. The energy is a simple logarithmic function of the distances of the observations in the variate space. The distribution of the test statistic is determined by a resampling method. The power of the energy test in one dimension was studied for a variety of different test samples a...

We prove that the diffusion coefficient for the two dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process diverges as (log t)2/3 to the leading order. The method applies to nearest and non-nearest neighbor asymmetric simple exclusion processes.

A globally controlled scheme for quantum transport is proposed. The scheme works on a 1D chain of nearest neighbor coupled systems of qudits (finite dimension), or qunats (continuous variable), taking any arbitrary initial quantum state of the chain and producing a final quantum state, which is perfectly spatially mirrored about the midpoint of the chain. As a particular novel application, the ...

We study dynamical aspects of three-dimensional gonihedric spins by using Monte-Carlo methods. These models have a purely geometrical motivation, deriving from string and random surface theory. Here, however, we shall analyze this family of models just from a statistical point of view. In particular, we shall be concerned with their ability to exhibit remarkably slow dynamics and seemingly glas...

Our previous research examined the effects of target eccentricity and global stimulus density on target detection during active visual search in monkey. Here, eye movement data collected from three human subjects on a standard single-color Ts and Ls task with varying set sizes were used to analyze the probability of target detection as a function of local stimulus density. Search performance wa...

We present the Hockey Line Extraction (HLE) Algorithm, which examines ice hockey scoring summaries in an attempt to determine a team’s lines. The players on a hockey team are divided into units called “lines” that appear together on the ice. The HLE algorithm uses single link clustering, support based measures and positional information to identifr lines of players. The Hockey Lines software en...

A transition from surface-roughening collapse to a random network collapse has been investigated in fatty acid Langmuir monolayers. In contrast to the random network crack pattern, the surface-roughening crack pattern grows on a much longer time scale and on a much shorter length scale. A change in the isotherm from a surface pressure "spike" to a "plateau" occurs at the transition. In the surf...

In the present paper we use the Wannier function basis to construct lattice approximations of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential. We show that the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential is equivalent to a vector lattice with long-range interactions. For the case-example of the cosine potential we study the validity of the so-called tight-binding appro...

Two species of congeneric filter-feeding microphagous carps from Asia, the bighead and the silver carp, were recently introduced to North America and have become highly invasive. These species of carp have similar food habits but the silver carp has the unique habit of jumping when disturbed. Both species have complex but poorly understood social behaviors and while both are thought to aggregat...
