A simple model of a population of asexually reproducing individuals, evolving in a flat fitness landscape, is defined. It is shown that the model is equivalent to a dynamical system with stochastic dynamics, the Annealed Random Map Model. Thus, it is possible to solve exactly for the genealogy statistics and for the ge...

In the past decade, the mathematical concept of fractal has exerted a great influence in a large variety of scientific disciplines. It is very common to find recent papers on the application of fractals to different fields in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. The success of the fractal geometry in the description of ma...

This talk summarizes results on spin observables in the $$\bar p$$ p elastic and charge exchange reactions as measured at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. In particular I will concentrate on the charge-exchange reaction, where the analyzing power has been measured for the first time. This study is part of...

A brief examination of the physics we hope to learn from flavor production processes at low energies is presented. Results from the PS185 hyperon (strangeness) production experiment [2] at LEAR are discussed in a framework suitable for reactions taking place near threshold. Possible directions for future work in this f...

Since the beginning of this Symposium series our field has collected an impressive amount of data on the polarization of hyperons produced by high energy protons./1/ Unpolarized protons interacting with any target produce polarized Λ, ∑^+, ∑^−, ∑^0, Ξ^0, and Ξ^−when the produced hyperon is in the fragmentation region o...

The standard thermodynamic description of enzyme catalysis in terms of a single free energy surface implies a conflict between specificity and speed. The conflict seems not to be a prominent feature of nature, however, in part due to the fact that conformational motions of the enzyme actively help the substrate dock in...

Darwinian evolution is the outcome of the interplay of reproduction, mutation, and natural selection. One of the most important and difficult problems in understanding the emergence of life is to pinpoint the necessary conditions for the onset od Darwinian evolution.

For the last ten years there has been considerable work on relativistic descriptions of proton scattering. By now, many of the basic ideas have been elucidated with detailed calculations. Therefore it is a good time to review relativistic effects on proton nucleus spin observables. First, a brief introduction is presen...

The diffusion of water within a given pore and through adjacent pores has been studied in the porous silica, Vycor, using small angle neutron scattering and small-angle quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The spatial range measured -between 10 and 1000 Å - is below that observed by light scattering or spin-echo NMR but c...

The study of the spin-isospin response of nuclei induced by medium energy nucleon-nucleus scattering is of great interest, both, in theory and experiment. Major issues are: (1) the existence of spin resonances excited at forward angles and small energy loss, (2) the relative enhancement of the spin response as one appr...

In any angiographic technique, the different interaction of the technique with blood flowing in the vessels and stationary tissue determines the contrast and ultimate image quality. In MR angiography, these interactions fall into two general categories: a) phase-related and b) time-of-flight.

This workshop was the 2^ nd one on this topic, the first being held in Minneapolis in 1988.^1 With about 20 participants there was lots of discussion between the presentations. The main topics discussed were “Siberian Snakes”, “Proton Facilities” and “Electron Facilities”. This summary report is organized accordingly.

The CP ^ N ^-1-model for N ≫ 1 is considered as a model describing a disordered spin liquid phase within a controlled approximation. We show that integration over configurations of fields with a nonvanishing topological charge give rise to the ChernSimons term in the effective action for the RVB-gauge field. This term ...

We study the problem of global smooth stabilization of cascade compositions of nonlinear globally asymptotically stable systems. Our main result is that global stabilization can be achieved if we can render the first system strictly passive for an output which spans the “unstable part” of the vector field of the second...

If f : Σ_ A → Σ_ A is an endomorphism of an irreducible shift of finite type, and p is a rational prime which divides the degree of f , then p divides every non-leading coefficient of χ_A. We also give constraints on the possible degrees of finite-to-one factor maps between shifts of finite type.
