We present extended versions and give detailed proofs of results concerning percolation (using various sets of two-replica bond occupation variables) in Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glasses (with zero external field) that were first given in an earlier paper by the same authors. We also explain how ultrametricity is manifested by the densities of large percolating clusters. Our main theorems co...

We develop a cavity method in the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model at high temperature and small external field. As an application we carry out second moment computations for the overlap and magnetization.

The development of competencies for Civil Servants is needed in order to improve employee performance that will contribute positively organizational performance. For this reason, competency programs must be evaluated see the effectiveness their implementation. purpose study evaluate using kirkpatrick level 1 evaluation model find out satisfaction participants and Kirkpatrick 2 if there an incre...

Can an electronic portfolio that is both a multimedia container for student work and a tool to support key learning processes have a positive impact on the literacy practices and self-regulated learning skills of students? This article presents the findings of a yearlong study conducted in three Canadian provinces during the 2007–2008 school year initially involving 32 teachers and 388 students...

This paper describes an algorithm to compute, in (log n) time, a rectangle that is contained in a convex n-gon, has sides parallel to the coordinate axes, and has maximum area. With a slight modiication it will compute the smallest perimeter. The algorithm uses a tentative prune-and-search approach, even though this problem does not appear to t into the functional framework of Kirkpatrick and S...

This study examined the effectiveness of a faculty training program for problem-based learning (PBL) facilitation. A multi-level approach was used, following Kirkpatrick’s levels for assessing training effectiveness. Data were obtained from (1) tutor training workshop evaluations, (2) a survey of tutors’ attitudes and beliefs, (3) changes in tutors’ perceptions of their teaching styles through ...

We study properties of the energy minima obtained by quenching equilibrium configurations of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick (SK) mean-field spin glass. We measure the probability distribution of the overlap among quenched configurations and the quenched energy, looking at the dependence on the starting equilibrium temperature, and performing a systematic analysis of finite-size effects.
