We revisit calculations of the cosmogenic production rates for several long-lived isotopes that are potential sources of background in searching for rare physics processes such as the detection of dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Using updated cosmic-ray neutron flux measurements, we use TALYS 1.0 to investigate the cosmogenic activation of st

WOH G64 is an unusual red supergiant (RSG) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with a number of properties that set it apart from the rest of the LMC RSG population, including a thick circumstellar dust torus, an unusually late spectral type, maser activity, and nebular emission lines. Its reported physical properties are also extreme, including the largest

We analyze intergalactic HI and OVI absorbers with v<5000 km/s in HST and FUSE spectra of 76 AGNs. The baryons traced by HI/OVI absorption are clearly associated with the extended surroundings of galaxies; for impact parameters <400 kpc they are ~5 times more numerous as those inside the galaxies. This large reservoir of matter likely plays a major role in g

We present X-ray properties of optically-selected intermediate-mass (~10^5--10^6 M_Sun) black holes (BHs) in active galaxies (AGNs), using data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Our observations are a continuation of a pilot study by Greene & Ho (2007). Of the 8 objects observed, 5 are detected with X-ray luminosities in the range L_0.5-2 keV = 10^41--10^4

The main objective of this and its accompanying articles is to derive a mathematical theory associated with the thermohaline circulations (THC). This article provides a general transition and stability theory for the Boussinesq system, governing the motion and states of the large-scale ocean circulation. First, it is shown that the first transition is either

In this paper we present a Prolog plugin for Eclipse based upon BE4, and providing many features such as semantic-aware syntax highlighting, outline view, error marking, content assist, hover information, documentation generation, and quick fixes. The plugin makes use of a Java parser for full Prolog with an integrated Prolog engine, and can be extended with

The safety of our day-to-day life depends crucially on the correct functioning of embedded software systems which control the functioning of more and more technical devices. Many of these software systems are time-critical. Hence, computations performed need not only to be correct, but must also be issued in a timely fashion. Worst case execution time (WCET)

We investigate the pair production of S-wave heavy quarkonium at the LHC in the color-singlet mechanism (CSM) and estimate the contribution from the gluon fragmentation process in the color-octet mechanism (COM) for comparison. With the matrix elements extracted previously in the leading order calculations, the numerical results show that the production rate

For a functor with smash product F and an F-bimodule P, we construct an invariant W(F;P) which is an analog of TR(F) with coefficients. We study the structure of this invariant and its finite-stage approximations W_n(F;P), and conclude that for F the FSP associated to a ring R and P the FSP associated to the simplicial R-bimodule M[X] (with M a simplicial R-

We study low temperature resonant spin tunneling in molecular magnets induced by a field sweep with account of dipole-dipole interactions. Numerical simulations uncovered formation of self-organized patterns of the magnetization and of the ensuing dipolar field that provide resonant condition inside a finite volume of the crystal. This effect is robust with

We present confusion limited submillimetre (submm) observations with the SCUBA camera on the JCMT of the z=2.83 Lyman-break galaxy (LBG), Westphal-MM8, reaching an 850um sensitivity even greater than that achieved in the SCUBA map of the Hubble Deep Field region. The detection of Westphal-MM8 (S_{850um} = 1.98+-0.48mJy), along with the literature submm detec

In this work, we investigate the transfer of some homological properties from a ring $R$ to his amalgamated duplication along some ideal $I$ of $R$, and then generate new and original families of rings with these properties.

Read-Rezayi fractional quantum Hall states are among the prime candidates for realizing non-Abelian anyons which in principle can be used for topological quantum computation. We present a prescription for efficiently finding braids which can be used to carry out a universal set of quantum gates on encoded qubits based on anyons of the Read-Rezayi states with

We present near-infrared spectroscopic observations of massive stars in three stellar clusters located in the direction of the inner Galaxy. One of them, the Quartet, is a new discovery while the other two were previously reported as candidate clusters identified on mid-infrared Spitzer images (GLIMPSE20 and GLIMPSE13). Using medium-resolution (R=900-1320) H

We have calculated current-voltage characteristic curves for normal-superconducting junctions with Andreev reflections and different types of electronic bands. We found that when the normal band is narrow, of the order of the superconducting energy gap, a negative differential resistance appears at a voltage of the order of the band width plus the gap value.

In a dynamical system the singular vector (SV) indicates which perturbation will exhibit maximal growth after a time interval $τ$. We show that in systems with spatiotemporal chaos the SV exponentially localizes in space. Under a suitable transformation, the SV can be described in terms of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with periodic noise. A scaling argum

Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $M$ an $R$--module. We prove that for a finite module $M$, if $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is minimax for all $i\geq r\geq 1$, then $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is artinian for $i\geq r$. A Local-global Principle for minimax local cohomology modules is shown. If $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is coatomic for $i\leq r$ ($M$ finite) th

We present a detailed analysis of exclusive semileptonic decays of Bc meson involving pseudoscalar and vector mesons in the BSW framework, by investigating the effects of the flavor dependence on the average transverse quark momentum inside a meson. Branching ratios of exclusive semileptonic decays of Bc meson are predicted.

We report the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown quasar at 10.5&#34; from Q2225-403 (z=2.410). The observation of the broad emission line of MgII_2798 and of the surrounding FeII multiplets indicates that the companion quasar is at z=0.932. The spectrum of Q2225-403 shows a number of absorption lines, the most noteworthy is the MgII line at the

It is well established numerically that spectral statistics of pseudo-integrable models differs considerably from the reference statistics of integrable and chaotic systems. In [PRL,93 (2004) 254102] statistical properties of a certain quantized pseudo-integrable map had been calculated analytically but only for a special sequence of matrix dimensions. The p

Analogous to a model that predicts the linear scaling of the binding energy of a nucleus from the number of nucleons, a simple model was developed to account for the observed linear variation of the quantum-chemically computed total electronic energy of the fully-optimized structures of a homologous series of polymers. This model was tested with both ab-init

Strong electrostatic turbulence in magnetically confined plasmas is characterized by trapping or eddying of particle trajectories produced by the $E\times B$ stochastic drift. Trapping is shown to produce strong effects on test particles and on test modes. It determines non-standard statistics of trajectories: non-Gaussian distribution, memory effects and co

Modeling a single crystal of cuprate high-$T_c$ superconductor, such as $\rm{Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}}$, as a stack of intrinsic Josephson junctions, we formulate explicitly the cavity phenomenon of plasma oscillations and electromagnetic (EM) waves in mesas of cylindrical and annular shapes. When the mesa thickness is small compared with the EM wavelength, the

We combine IR, optical and X-ray data from the overlapping, 9.3 square degree NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS), AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES), and XBootes Survey to measure the X-ray evolution of 6146 normal galaxies as a function of absolute optical luminosity, redshift, and spectral type over the largely unexplored redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.5.

The detection of extrasolar planets&#39; atmospheres requires very demanding observations. For planets that can not be spatially separated from their host stars, i.e. the vast majority of planets, the transiting planets are the only ones allowing to probe their atmospheres. This is possible from transmission spectroscopy or from measurements taken during sec

Fundamental questions in Diophantine approximation are related to the Hausdorff dimension of sets of the form $\{x\in \mathbb{R}: δ_x = δ\}$, where $δ\geq 1$ and $δ_x$ is the Diophantine approximation rate of an irrational number $x$. We go beyond the classical results by computing the Hausdorff dimension of the sets $\{x\in\mathbb{R}: δ_x =f(x)\}$, where $f

Involutivity is a well known necessary condition for integrability of smooth tangent distributions. We show that this condition is still necessary for integrability with Sobolev surfaces. We specialize our study to the left invariant horizontal distribution of the first Heisenberg group $\H^1$. Here we answer a question raised in a paper by Z.M.Balogh, R.Hoe

Networks - collections of interacting elements or nodes - abound in the natural and manmade worlds. For many networks, complex spatiotemporal dynamics stem from patterns of physical interactions unknown to us. To infer these interactions, it is common to include edges between those nodes whose time series exhibit sufficient functional connectivity, typically

We have developed a Prolog visualization system that is intended to support Prolog programming education. The system uses Logichart diagrams to visualize Prolog programs. The Logichart diagram is designed to visualize the Prolog execution flow intelligibly and to enable users to easily correlate the Prolog clauses with its parts. The system has the following

The use of non-deterministic functions is a distinctive feature of modern functional logic languages. The semantics commonly adopted is call-time choice, a notion that at the operational level is related to the sharing mechanism of lazy evaluation in functional languages. However, there are situations where run-time choice, closer to ordinary rewriting, is m

FeSe with the PbO structure is a key member of the family of new high-$T_c$ iron pnictide and chalcogenide superconductors, as while it possesses the basic layered structural motif of edge-sharing distorted FeSe$_4$ tetrahedra, it lacks interleaved ion spacers or charge-reservoir layers. We find that application of hydrostatic pressure first rapidly increase

We consider a decoder with an erasure option and a variable size list decoder for channels with non-casual side information at the transmitter. First, universally achievable error exponents are offered for decoding with an erasure option using a parameterized decoder in the spirit of Csiszár and Körner&#39;s decoder. Then, the proposed decoding rule is gener

Some recent approaches for scalable offline partial evaluation of logic programs include a size-change analysis for ensuring both so called local and global termination. In this work|inspired by experimental evaluation|we introduce several improvements that may increase the accuracy of the analysis and, thus, the quality of the associated specialized program

We study a problem motivated by a question related to quantum-error-correcting codes. Combinatorially, it involves the following graph parameter: $$f(G)=\min\set{|A|+|\{x\in V\setminus A : d_A(x)\text{is odd}\}| : A\neq\emptyset},$$ where $V$ is the vertex set of $G$ and $d_A(x)$ is the number of neighbors of $x$ in $A$. We give asymptotically tight estimate

We prove a compactness result for holomorphic curves with boundary on an immersed Lagrangian submanifold with clean self-intersection. As a consequence, we show that the number of intersections of such holomorphic curves with the self-intersection locus is uniformly bounded in terms of the Hofer energy.

In recent work, we have proposed an approach to Test Data Generation (TDG) of imperative bytecode by partial evaluation (PE) of CLP which consists in two phases: (1) the bytecode program is first transformed into an equivalent CLP program by means of interpretive compilation by PE, (2) a second PE is performed in order to supervise the generation of test-cas

We show how a chiral Dirac fermion (a massless electron or hole) can be converted into a pair of neutral chiral Majorana fermions (a particle equal to its own antiparticle). These two types of fermions exist on the metallic surface of a topological insulator, respectively, at a magnetic domain wall and at a magnet-superconductor interface. Interferometry of

We present an efficient sampling method for computing a partition function and accelerating configuration sampling. The method performs a random walk in the $\lambda$ space, with $\lambda$ being any thermodynamic variable that characterizes a canonical ensemble such as the reciprocal temperature $\beta$ or any variable that the Hamiltonian explicitly depends

We present a shortened and simplified version of our proof \cite{Fischer:2006vf} of the uniqueness of the scaling solution for the infrared asymptotics of Green functions in Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory. The simplification relates to a new RG-invariant arrangement of Green functions applicable to general theories. As before the proof relies on the necessar

Exact solutions of the dispersive and modified equations are expressed in terms of special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the fourth Painleve equation, which arises as generalized scaling reductions of these equations. Generalized solutions that involve an infinite sequence of arbitrary constants are also derived which are analogues of gen

We study the conductance of normal-superconducting quantum dots with strong spin-orbit scattering, coupled to a source reservoir using a single-mode spin-filtering quantum point contact. The choice of the system is guided by the aim to study triplet Andreev reflection without relying on half metallic materials with specific interface properties. Focusing on

Fuzzy reasoning is a very productive research field that during the last years has provided a number of theoretical approaches and practical implementation prototypes. Nevertheless, the classical implementations, like Fril, are not adapted to the latest formal approaches, like multi-adjoint logic semantics. Some promising implementations, like Fuzzy Prolog,

We improve previously derived analytical estimates of hadronisation corrections to QCD jets at hadron colliders, firmly establishing at the two-loop level the link to the well-known power corrections to LEP event-shape variables. The results of this paper apply to jets defined in the kt and anti-kt algorithms but the general framework presented here holds al

We study the spin dynamics of a Heisenberg model at finite temperature in the presence of an external field or a uniaxial anisotropy. For the case of the uniaxial anisotropy our simulations show that the macro moment picture breaks down. An effect which we refer to as a spin-wave instability (SWI) results in a non-dissipative Bloch-Bloembergen type relaxatio

A finite array of $N$ globally coupled Stratonovich models exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition. In the limit of strong coupling there is a clear separation of time scales of center of mass and relative coordinates. The latter relax very fast to zero and the array behaves as a single entity described by the center of mass coordinate. We comp

The goal of this article is to construct explicitly a p-adic family of representations (which are dihedral representations), to construct their associated (phi,Gamma)-modules by writing down explicit matrices for phi and for the action of Gamma, and finally to determine which of these are trianguline.

In this paper we study the homology and cohomology of confguration spaces of two distinct particles on a graph. Our main tool is intersection theory for cycles in graphs. We obtain an explicit description of the cohomology algebra of the configuration space in the case of planar graphs.

The Poisson-Hopf analogue of an arbitrary quantum algebra U_z(g) is constructed by introducing a one-parameter family of quantizations U_{z,h}(g) depending explicitly on h and by taking the appropriate h -> 0 limit. The q-Poisson analogues of the su(2) algebra are discussed and the novel su_q^P (3) case is introduced. The q-Serre relations are also extended

Termination properties of actual Prolog systems with constraints are fragile and difficult to analyse. The lack of the occurs-check, moded and overloaded arithmetical evaluation via is/2 and the occasional nontermination of finite domain constraints are all sources for invalidating termination results obtained by current termination analysers that rely on id

Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing instability. This idea applies to systems of quasilinear Schrödinger equations from nonlinear optics.

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let $Y_ε$ be uniformly distributed in $[1- ε, 1 + ε]$ and let $f_i \in C^{1+α}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_i$. We consider the iterated function system $\{Y_εf_i + a_i (1 - Y_ε) \}_{i=1}^n$, were each of the maps are chosen with probability $p_i$. It is shown that the inva

We investigate gauge-Higgs unification models in eight-dimensional spacetime where extra-dimensional space has the structure of a four-dimensional compact coset space. The combinations of the coset space and the gauge group in the eight-dimensional spacetime of such models are listed. After the dimensional reduction of the coset space, we identified $\mathrm

We report on the magnetic-field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance, R_s, in a polycrystalline MgB_2 sample, at different values of temperature. We have detected a magnetic hysteresis in R_s, which exhibits an unexpected plateau on decreasing the DC magnetic field below a certain value. In particular, at temperatures near T_c the hysteresi

$μ$-$τ$ symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavour basis is known to be quite predictive. We integrate this very specific neutrino symmetry into a more general framework based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory. As in several other models, the fermion mass spectrum is determined by Hermitian mass matrices resulting from the re

The contribution of white dwarfs of the different Galactic populations to the stellar content of our Galaxy is only poorly known. Some authors claim a vast population of halo white dwarfs, which would be in accordance with some investigations of the early phases of Galaxy formation claiming a top-heavy initial-mass-function.

In this paper we show how to extend the known algorithm of nodal analysis in such a way that, in the case of circuits without nullors and controlled sources (but allowing for both, independent current and voltage sources), the system of nodal equations describing the circuit is partitioned into one part, where the nodal variables are explicitly given as line

A sort of calculus is developed to find the chiral algebras of N=2 superconformal interacting bosonic models. Many examples are discussed. It is shown that the algebras share a common structure, which we call almost Landau Ginzburg. For one or two generators, the number of relations is equal to the number of generators and they are algebraically independent.

Topologically, a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$ is a $g$-holed torus (a sphere with $g$ handles). This paper is an introduction to the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves. It presents the basic ideas and properties as an expository essay, explores some of their numerous consequences and gives a concise account of the elementary

We consider an exact state transmission, where a density matrix in one information processor A at time $t=0$ is exactly equal to that in another processor B at a later time. We demonstrate that there always exists a complete set of orthogonal states, which can be employed to perform the exact state transmission. Our result is very general in the sense that i

We study the vortex structure in a Pb film deposited on top of a periodic array of ferromagnetic square microrings by combining two high resolution imaging techniques: Bitter decoration and scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM). The periodicity and strength of the magnetic pinning potential generated by the square microrings are controlled by the magnetic hi

In this talk, I present and discuss a number of attempts to construct black hole solutions in models with Warped Extra Dimensions. Then, a contact is made with models with Large Extra Dimensions, where black-hole solutions are easily constructed -- here the focus will be on the properties of microscopic black holes and the possibility of using phenomena asso

In this letter, we report that the superconductivity transition temperature in beta-Fe1.01Se increases from 8.5 to 36.7 K under applied pressure of 8.9 GPa. It then decreases at higher pressure. A dramatic change in volume is observed at the same time Tc rises, due to a collapse of the separation between the Fe2Se2 layers. A clear transition to a linear resi

We study the convergence of certain subseries of the harmonic series corresponding to increasing sequences of integers whose digits in a certain base are not uniformly distributed. We also discuss the case of irregular sequences, where the frequency distribution of some of the digits does not exist. Examples are given for irregular sequences where the corres

We compare a variety of lossless image compression methods on a large sample of astronomical images and show how the compression ratios and speeds of the algorithms are affected by the amount of noise in the images. In the ideal case where the image pixel values have a random Gaussian distribution, the equivalent number of uncompressible noise bits per pixel

We present high-precision photometry of two transit events of the extrasolar planetary system WASP-5, obtained with the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO La Silla. In order to minimise both random and flat-fielding errors, we defocussed the telescope so its point spread function approximated an annulus of diameter 40 pixels (16 arcsec). Data reduction was undert

The radial index of a 1-form on a singular set is a generalization of the classical Poincaré-Hopf index. We consider different classes of closed semi-analytic sets in R^n that contain 0 in their singular locus and we relate the radial index of a 1-form at 0 on these sets to Poincaré-Hopf indices at 0 of vector fiels defined on R^n.

We study experimentally nodal domains of wave functions (electric field distributions) lying in the regime of Shnirelman ergodicity in the chaotic microwave half-circular ray-splitting rough billiard. For this aim the wave functions Psi_N of the billiard were measured up to the level number N=415. We show that in the regime of Shnirelman ergodicity (N>208) w

We search for spherically symmetric, stationary solutions with a string gas shell as a source. The requirement of a uniform newtonian potential, or constancy of the 00 component of the metric, implies the existence of a "dual" radiation, which we argue can be interpreted as representing the virtual quantum fluctuations that stabilize the shell. A string hedg

We introduce a restricted four body problem in a 2+2 configuration extending the classical Sitnikov problem to the Double Sitnikov problem. The secondary bodies are moving on the same perpendicular line to the planewhere the primaries evolve, so almost every solution is a collision orbit.

We investigate the ability of the reference hypernetted-chain integral equation to describe the phase diagram of square-well fluids with four different ranges of attraction. Comparison of our results with simulation data shows that the theory is able to reproduce with fairly good accuracy a significant part of the coexistence curve, provided an extrapolation

We consider QCD radiative corrections to the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions. We present a fully exclusive calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. To perform this NNLO computation, we use a recently proposed version of the subtraction formalism. The calculation includes the gamma-Z interference, fi

New physics at high energy scale often contributes to K-\bar K and D-\bar D mixings in an approximately SU(2)_L invariant way. In such a case, the combination of measurements in these two systems is particularly powerful. The resulting constraints can be expressed in terms of misalignments and flavor splittings.

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two spatially separated parties to securely generate a cryptographic key. The first QKD protocol, published by C. H. Bennett and G.

The CLIC machine incorporates a 20 mrad crossing angle at the IP to aid the extraction of spent beams. In order to recover the luminosity lost through the crossing angle a crab cavity is proposed to rotate the bunches prior to collision. The crab cavity is chosen to have the same frequency as the main linac (11.9942 GHz) as a compromise between size, phase s

We study the all-optical switching behavior of one-dimensional metal-dielectric photonic crystals due to the nonlinearity of the free metal electrons. A polychromatic pump-probe setup is used to determine the wavelength and pump intensity dependence of the ultrafast transmission suppression as well as the dynamics of the process on a subpicosecond timescale.

Populations of uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators receiving common random impulses show various types of phase-coherent states, which are characterized by the distribution of phase differences between pairs of oscillators.

In this paper, we construct a new weakly universal cellular automaton on the ternary heptagrid. The previous result, obtained by the same author and Y. Song required six states only. This time, the number of states is four. This is the best result up to date for cellular automata in the hyperbolic plane.

In this article, we present a mathematical theory of the Walker circulation of the large-scale atmosphere over the tropics.

We study effects of weak nonlineary on localization of waves in disordered Stark ladder corresponding to propagation in presence of disorder and a static field. Our numerical results show that nonlinearity leads to delocalization with subdiffusive spreading along the ladder. The exponent of spreading remains close to its value in absence of the static field.

Atoms and molecules are important conceptual entities we invented to understand the physical world around us. The key to their usefulness lies in the organization of nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom into a single dynamical variable whose time evolution we can better imagine. The use of such effective variables in place of the true microscopic variab

Using an analogue of Makanin-Razborov diagrams, we give a description of the solution set of systems of equations over an equationally Noetherian free product of groups $G$. Equivalently, we give a parametrisation of the set $Hom(H, G)$ of all homomorphisms from a finitely generated group $H$ to $G$. Furthermore, we show that every algebraic set over $G$ can

We study the dynamical response of a single semiflexible polymer chain based on the theory developed by Hallatschek et al. for the wormlike-chain model. The linear viscoelastic response under oscillatory forces acting at the two chain ends is derived analytically as a function of the oscillation frequency . We shall show that the real part of the complex com

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $X$ an $R$--module. In this paper, for fixed integers $s, t$ and a finite $\fa$--torsion $R$--module $N$, we first study the membership of $\Ext^{s+t}_{R}(N, X)$ and $\Ext^{s}_{R}(N, H^{t}_{\fa}(X))$ in Serre subcategories of the category of $R$--modules. Then we pres

We calculate the van der Waals dispersive interaction between a neutral but polarizable atom and a perfectly conducting isolated sphere in the nonretarded case. We make use of two separate models, one being the semiclassical fluctuating-dipoles method, the other using ordinary quantum mechanics.

We present authorized quantum computation, where only a user with a non-cloneable quantum authorization key can perform a unitary operation created by an authenticated programmer. The security of our authorized quantum computation is based on the quantum computational complexity problem of forging the keys from an obfuscated quantum gate sequence. Under the

Cadabra is a powerful computer program for the manipulation of tensor equations. It was designed for use in high energy physics but its rich structure and ease of use lends itself well to the routine computations required in General Relativity. Here we will present a series of simple examples showing how Cadabra may be used, including verifying that the Levi

We propose a general one-dimensional {\em continuous} formulation to analyze the vibrational modes of antenna-like nanomechanical resonators consisting of two symmetric arrays of cantilevers affixed to a central nano-beam. The cantilever arrays can have arbitrary density and length profile along the beam. We obtain the secular equation that allows for the de

Results of classical force field geometry optimizations for twisted graphene nanoribbons with a number of twists $N_t$ varying from 0 to 7 (the case $N_t$=1 corresponds to a half-twist Möbius nanoribbon) are presented in this work. Their structural stability was investigated using the Brenner reactive force field. The best classical molecular geometries were

The phase diagrams of isotropic and anisotropic triangular lattices with local Coulomb interactions are evaluated within cluster dynamical mean field theory. As a result of partial geometric frustration in the anisotropic lattice, short range correlations are shown to give rise to reentrant behavior which is absent in the fully frustrated isotropic limit.
