“…[12]) when f ∼ f c , and to a creep motion of the interface when f ≪ f c . Indeed it was realized that, due to the glassy nature of the static pinned interface, a moving interface would have to overcome divergent barriers as the applied force is reduced [13][14][15][16][17] in contrast to much older theories that assumed that motion occured only through finite barriers [18]. This lead to the proposal of a phenomenological theory of creep resulting in a highly non-linear v−f characteristics of the form v ∝ exp (−(U c /T )(f c /f ) µ ).…”

We study a D-dimensional interface driven in a disordered medium. We derive finite temperature and velocity functional renormalization group (FRG) equations, valid in a ǫ = 4 − D expansion. These equations allow in principle for a complete study of the the velocity versus applied force characteristics. We focus here on the creep regime at finite temperature and small velocity. We show how our FRG approach gives the form of the v − f characteristics in this regime, and in particular the creep exponent, obtained previously only through phenomenological scaling arguments.

“…where the discretized Laplacian for all x, it is pulled at the boundary at the origin, H(0) → H(0) + 1. This is an example of interface depinning which has been widely studied [9,10,5]. The difference here is that rather than being driven uniformly, the interface is driven by being slowly dragged at the boundary.…”

Recent numerical results for a model describing dispersive transport in rice piles are explained by mapping the model to the depinning transition of an interface that is dragged at one end through a random medium. The average velocity of transport vanishes with system size L as < v >∼ L 2−D ∼ L −0.23 , and the avalanche size distribution exponent τ = 2 − 1/D ≃ 1.55, where D ≃ 2.23 from interface depinning. We conjecture that the purely deterministic Burridge-Knopoff "train" model for earthquakes is in the same universality class.PACS number(s): 64.60.

“…Nonetheless, the existing literature suggests that IA children are at risk, and a significant minority experience long-term difficulties in one or more domains. This is not surprising, since the reasons that children are available for international adoption have often included extreme poverty, social disorganization, and other traumas (Altstein & Simon, 1991;Feigelman & Silverman, 1977, 1983Sokoloff, Carlin, & Pham, 1984). Many IA children experience abuse, neglect, malnutrition, and poor medical care prior to adoption, all of which place them at risk for subsequent disorder (Chisholm, Carter, Ames, & Morison, 1995;Groza, Ryan, & Cash, 2003;Hoksbergen et al, 2003b;Lin, Cermak, Coster, & Miller, 2005;MacLean, 2003;.…”

Internationally adopted (IA) children are at increased risk for health-related, developmental, and behavioral difficulties. This article reviews the literature on various interventions currently used with IA populations; including health-related interventions provided by medical specialists, preparation programs provided by adoption agencies and other social service organizations, treatments for attachment and behavioral disorders, psychoeducational services, programs designed to improve childrenÕs care prior to adoption, and parent-based initiatives. Surprisingly, very little systematic information exists regarding the effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent and remediate these difficulties in IA children. Recommendations for future research activity and for best practice approaches to intervention are discussed.
