The random packing of geometric objects in one-, two- or three-dimensions may afford useful insights into the structure of crystals, liquids, absorbates on crystals, and in higher dimensions, into problems of pattern recognition. Random packing has accordingly received increasing attention in recent years. Two principal packing procedures have been formulated and each gives rise to different packing ratios. In one case, all possible configurations of a sphere-packed volume are assumed to be equally likely. In the other and most widely reported case, there is random sequential addition of spheres to the volume until it is packed. This is the situation we study in this paper. Most of the work to date has been limited to the theoretical study of the one-dimensional lattice or to continuous cases particularly in the limit for long lines. The higher dimensional cases have resisted theoretical attack but have been studied by computer simulation by Palasti [12] and Solomon [14] and by physical simulation by Bernal and Scott (see [14]).

Let game B be Toral's cooperative Parrondo game with (one-dimensional) spatial dependence, parameterized by N ≥ 3 and p0, p1, p2, p3 ∈ [0, 1], and let game A be the special case p0 = p1 = p2 = p3 = 1/2. In previous work we investigated μB and μ(1/2, 1/2), the mean profits per turn to the ensemble of N players always playing game B and always playing the randomly mixed game (1/2)(A + B). These means were computable for 3 ≤ N ≤ 19, at least, and appeared to converge as N → ∞, suggesting that the Parrondo region (i.e., the region in which μB ≤ 0 and μ(1/2, 1/2) > 0) has nonzero volume in the limit. The convergence was established under certain conditions, and the limits were expressed in terms of a parameterized spin system on the one-dimensional integer lattice. In this paper we replace the random mixture with the nonrandom periodic pattern Ar Bs, where r and s are positive integers. We show that μ[r, s], the mean profit per turn to the ensemble of N players repeatedly playing the pattern Ar Bs, is computable for 3 ≤ N ≤ 18 and r + s ≤ 4, at least, and appears to converge as N → ∞, albeit more slowly than in the random-mixture case. Again this suggests that the Parrondo region (μB ≤ 0 and μ[r, s] > 0) has nonzero volume in the limit. Moreover, we can prove this convergence under certain conditions and identify the limits.

We prove the central limit theorem for Gibbs states and ground states of quasifree Fermions (bilinear Hamiltonians) and those of the off critical XY model on a one-dimensional integer lattice.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.

Adiabatic large polarons in anisotropic molecular crystals We study the large polaron whose motion is confined to a single chain in a system composed of the collection of parallel molecular chains embedded in threedimensional lattice. It is found that the interchain coupling has a significant impact on the large polaron characteristics. In particular, its radius is quite larger while its effective mass is considerably lighter than that estimated within the one-dimensional models. We believe that our findings should be taken into account for the proper understanding of the possible role of large polarons in the charge and energy transfer in quasi-one-dimensional substances.

We consider the paper by Brugnot and Pochat (1981), which describes a one-dimensional model applied to a snow avalanche. The main advance made here is the introduction of the second dimension in the runout zone. Indeed, in the channelled course, we still use the one-dimensional model, but, when the avalanche spreads before stopping, we apply a (x, y) grid on the ground and six equations have to be solved: (1) for the avalanche body, one equation for continuity and two equations for momentum conservation, and (2) at the front, one equation for continuity and two equations for momentum conservation. We suppose the front to be a mobile jump, with longitudinal velocity varying more rapidly than transverse velocity.We solve these equations by a finite difference method. This involves many topological problems, due to the actual position of the front, which is defined by its intersection with the reference grid (SI, YJ). In the near future our two directions of research will be testing the code on actual avalanches and improving it by trying to make it cheaper without impairing its accuracy.
