The threshold estimate derived in previous versions of this paper was incorrect; this note explains the flaw. A new proof is discussed in arXiv:0809.5063.
We make remarks on Ristroph and Zhang's [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 101}, 194502 (2008)] paper. We argue especially that due to the interferences the calibration procedures in [1] were not complete and this will induce some measurements'…
The title paper is discussed critically. There are major problems with incorrect statements, irrelevant citations, incorrect mathematics leading to incorrect results, which are compared with our own simulations.
I reply to the four points raised by S. A. Hayward, R. Di Criscienzo, M. Nadalini, L. Vanzo, S. Zerbini (arXiv:0909.2956v1) against my comment (arXiv:0907.2020v1) to their previous article. I maintain my position on the wrongness of their…
The topological susceptibility of $2d$ $\mathrm{CP}^{N-1}$ models is expected, based on perturbative computations, to develop a divergence in the limit $N \to 2$, where these models reduce to the well-known non-linear $\mathrm{O}(3)$…
Adaptive Phase 2/3 designs hold great promise in contemporary oncology drug development, especially when limited data from Phase 1 dose-finding is insufficient for identifying an optimal dose. However, there is a general concern about…
The atomically precise placement of dopants in semiconductors using scanning tunneling microscopes has been used to create planar dopant-based devices, enabling the exploration of novel classical or quantum computing concepts, which often…
The arguments of the above article [arXiv:0910.3934] do not apply to the papers which it criticizes, and contain several key errors, including a fundamental misunderstanding about the equivalence principle.
I propose an alternative method for measuring the $CP$ violating phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) without ambiguity in an extended SU(3) flavour symmetry analysis, which can ultimately be achieved by exploiting interference effects between $B \to…
Conformal mapping is an important mathematical tool in many physical and engineering fields, especially in electrostatics, fluid mechanics, classical mechanics, and transformation optics. However in the existing textbooks and literatures,…
Hybrid quantum/molecular mechanics models (QM/MM methods) are widely used in material and molecular simulations when MM models do not provide sufficient accuracy but pure QM models are computationally prohibitive. Adaptive QM/MM coupling…
The review paper by Zhang Zhi-Dong contains many errors and is based on several earlier works that are equally wrong.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial error in mathematical derivation and copyrights.
This Comment identifies errors in the formalism/implementation reported in Ref. 1 and discusses some aspects of that work that were not fully specified in the original publication. This Comment also provides reference numerical results for…
In modern lattice simulations, conventional update algorithms do not allow for tunneling between topological sectors at fine lattice spacings. We compare the viability of multiple less commonly used algorithms (metadynamics, instanton…
We discuss a classical mistake, made in earlier publications on the stick percolation problem in 3D, for generating the right isotropic configuration of sticks. We explain the observed systematic deviations from the excluded volume rule.…
The scaling limit of crossing probabilities is believed to satisfy a conformal mapping formula, called Cardy's formula, in two-dimensional percolation at the criticality. The formula has been confirmed to hold for site percolation on the…
The integration of quantum chemical methods with high-performance computing is indispensable for handling large systems with modest accuracy or even small systems but with high accuracy. Continuing with the unified implementation of…
The indirect estimation of couplings in quantum dynamics relies on the measurement of the spectrum and the overlap of eigenvectors with some reference states. This data can be obtained by local measurements on some sites and eliminates the…
This comment regards a central aspect of the referred-to paper, the issue of convergence of the large coordination-number expansion. Perturbation expansions of expressions containing a large number of parameters are generally invalid due to…
