We study the special solutions of discrete Painlevé equations which can be expressed through the discrete equivalent of quadratures. The discrete Painlevé equations examined are the ones which appear in the classification based on affine Weyl groups and which can be written as a system of two...

We consider here the statistical mechanics of swarms of self-propelled particles. Our approach is closely related to the recently developed theory of active Brownian motion. New solutions for the stationary distribution of swarms with linear attraction are given in mean field approximation....

The static aspects of the statistics for the phase turbulence (PT) are studied in this paper. Their dynamical aspects for the PT were made clear in the previous paper. The dynamics have predicted that the statistics of the PT deviate from the large deviation statistics. In this paper, the...

The images of America exported by entertainment and information media companies have created very high expectations in foreign audiences. Some recipients overhearing American media want to immigrate to the US and/or study in Western universities. In the process, a few of them encounter...

The assessment of health and environmental impacts of energy production has undergone a major evolution in recent years, reflecting progress in the underlying scientific domains. This paper reviews these developments and draws conclusions. The paper begins with a discussion of the relation...
