Accelerated relaxation and suppressed dynamic heterogeneity in a kinetically constrained (East) model with swaps

“…Nevertheless, the swaps still lead to a significant acceleration. Figure 3(b) shows that analogous results are obtained by considering the correlation time τ c extracted from the autocorrelation ( n i (t)n i (0) − n i 2 ) with the same threshold as in (28). From the fits in this Figure, it is useful to consider swap dynamics with B/v = J/T and B/v = 2J/T .…”

“…For simplicity, we consider the one-dimensional case with periodic boundaries, so we identify spin 0 with spin N and spin N + 1 with spin 1. In contrast to the standard East model [28,22,23], we consider a version where the kinetic constraint is "soft", cf. [24,25,26,29,30].…”

“…If spin i has n i = 1 then it flips to state n i = 0 with rate C i ; if n i = 0 then spin i flips (to n i = 1) with rate C i c/(1 − c). The standard "hard" East model [28,22,23] occurs for = 0, in which case spin i is only updated when it is facilitated by its left neighbour. For > 0 spins can flip even when they are not facilitated: this is the sense in which softens the constraint.…”

Paths to power and ministers’ durability: the Portuguese case

“…In fact, Berlinski et al (2007Berlinski et al ( , 2012, who study the factors that influence the durability of ministers in government, opt for the latter definition. With a similar purpose, Jäckle (2013) follows the former definition.…”

Ministerial Importance and Survival in Government: Tough at the Top?

“…Conventionally, studies of ministerial durability have measured time in office within individual cabinet terms, with the end of a cabinet being defined by events such as changes in prime minister, general elections and a party leaving government (amongst others). On the other hand, mainly descriptive studies that focus on "career aspects and mere time in office" measure ministers' continuous spells in office, ignoring technical terminations brought about by these 'cabinet-ending' events (Fischer et al 2012: 508-509; see also Bakema 1991;Frognier 1991: 119-120;Jäckle 2013;Verzichelli 2009: 90).…”
