Ballard et al.'s is a plausible and useful model. Leaving aside some unnecessary constraints, the model would probably be valid through a wider gamut of interactions between the self and the environment than the authors envision.

Everyone shares the irresistible conception that vision is one sense. We experience one coherent visual world and produce visually guided behavior to interact with that world. Extensive laboratory work, however, has shown this introspection to be in error: visual processing has several representations of space, coding different aspects of the information available from vision. The representations operate simultaneously, in parallel, in performing various visual functions.

Rapidity gaps and scaling in high energy interactions

October 1996 · Physical Review D

Sudhir Malik

The rapidity gap probability is investigated in varying symmetric bin sizes in proton-nucleus interactions at 800 GeV. It shows a scaling behavior and confirms the linked pair approximation for the n-particle cumulant correlation functions to high order. A comparison of the scaled rapidity gap probability is made with the negative binomial distribution. We also interpret the rapidity gap ...

An Ising Model Analysis of Dielectric Polarization. I. Analysis for the Dielectric Response of Infin...

An analysis of the dielectric polarization for a model system consisting of a one-dimensional chain of dipoles with nearest neighbour interaction only is presented. In this model, each dipole is assumed to have two components: One is normally oriented between two localized states in a plane perpendicular to the chain axis, while the other is oriented along the chain. The model further presumes ... [Show full abstract] that the reorientation probability of any dipole located on the site chain has a time-dependent parameter, depending at any instant upon the momentary orientation of neighbouring dipoles. Glauber's time-dependent Ising model formalism is applied to this situation. It is shown that the decay function of a single dipole located in either an infinite or a finite chain results in a non-Debye-type form, due to the many-body nature of the induced molecular moments. Eine Analyse der dielektrischen Polarisation für ein Modellsystem aus einer eindimensionalen Kette von Dipolen mit nur nächster Nachbarwechselwikung wird vorgeschlagen. Das Modell setzt voraus, daß jeder dipol zwei Komponenten besitzt. Die eine ist normalerweise zwischen zwei örtlichen Zuständen in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Kettenachse orientiert, während die andere entlang der Kette orientiert ist. Weiterhin nimmt das Modell an, daß die Reorientierungs-wahrscheinlichkeit irgendeines Dipols an der Kette einen zeitabhängigen Parameter hat, was wieder zu einer beliebigen Zeit von der momentanen Orientierung der Nachbardipole abhängt. Glaubers zeitabhängiger Ising-Modell-Formalismus wird auf diese Situation angewandt. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Zerfallsfunktion eines einzigen Dipols in endlicher oder unendlicher Kette einen Nicht-Debye-Typ beschreibt, welcher durch die induzierten Molekularmomente der komplexen natur der Kette verursacht wird.

Upper bounds for survival probability of the contact process

January 1991 · Journal of Statistical Physics

A precise description of the nontrivial upper invariant measure for >c is still an open problem for the basic contact process, which is a self-dual, attractive, but nonreversible Markov process of an interacting particle system. By its self-duality, to identify the invariant measure is equivalent to determining the initial-state dependence of the survival probability of the process. A procedure ... [Show full abstract] to give rigorous upper bounds for the survival probability is presented based on a lemma given by Harris. Two new bounds are given, improving the simple branching-process bound. In the one-dimensional case, the present procedure can be viewed as a trial to make approximate measures by generalized Markov extensions.

Student sex and behavior as determinants of the type and frequency of teacher-student contacts

December 1972 · Journal of School Psychology

Roy P Martin

Second-grade teachers ranked their students according to the extent to which they exhibited problem behavior in the classroom. Boys and girls who exhibited few problem behaviors and children who exhibited many problem behaviors were observed in their dyadic interaction with their teacher. Boys who were behavior problems were found to interact with their teachers significantly more than boys who ... [Show full abstract] were not behavior problems and more than girls regardless of their classroom behavior. This result indicates that the high rate of student-teacher interaction for boys found by other investigators is probably characteristic of only a small percentage of boys.
