Charge localization in strongly correlated 
κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]I
 due to inherent disorder

In this paper, the effects of a repulsive scattering center on the ground-state energy and spin properties of a three-electron parabolic quantum dot are investigated theoretically by means of configuration interaction method. Phase transition from a weakly correlated regime to a strongly correlated regime is examined from several strengths and positions of Gaussian impurity. Numerical results reveal that the transition from spin-1/2 to spin-3/2 state depends strongly on the location of the impurity which accordingly states the controllability of the spin polarization. Moreover, broken circular symmetry results in more pronounced electronic charge localization.

Reduced Density

Strongly correlated electrons have been the subject of substantial theoretical interest for many years. Most work has focused on obtaining the energy in a low-cost fashion. Here, we show that even methods with good energies can yield significant "delocalization errors" that affect the orbitals and density, leading to large errors in predicting other important properties such as dipole moments. We illustrate this point by comparing existing state-of-art approaches with an accurate exchange correlation functional based on a generalised valence bond ansatz, in which <i>orbitals and fractional occupations </i>are treated as variational parameters via a common optimized effective potential (OEP). We show that the OEP exhibits step and peak features which, similar to the exact Kohn-Sham (KS) potential of DFT, are crucial to prevent charge delocalization. We further show that the step is missing in common approximations within reduced density matrix functional theory resulting in delocalization errors comparable to those found in DFT approximations. Finally, we explain the delocalisation error as coming from an artificial mixing of the ground state with a charge-transfer excited state which is avoided if occupation numbers exhibit discontinuities. <br>

Mean Length Of Utterance

The extent to which the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI), could be used to estimate levels of language development in 2-year-old children was examined. Fifty-seven children between 23 and 28 months were given the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD), and at the same time a parent completed the MCDI. In addition the mean length of utterance (MLU) was obtained for each child from a spontaneous speech sample. The MCDI Expressive Language scale was found to be a strong predictor of both the SICD Expressive scale and MLU. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale, presumably a receptive language measure, was moderately correlated with the SICD Receptive scale; however, it was also strongly correlated with the expressive measures. These results demonstrated that the Expressive Language scale of the MCDI was a valid predictor of expressive language for 2-year-old children. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale appeared to assess both receptive and expressive language, thus complicating its interpretation.

Large Groups

Group size in primates is strongly correlated with brain size, but exactly what makes larger groups more ‘socially complex’ than smaller groups is still poorly understood. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) are among our closest living relatives and are excellent model species to investigate patterns of sociality and social complexity in primates, and to inform models of human social evolution. The aim of this paper is to propose new research frameworks, particularly the use of social network analysis, to examine how social structure differs in small, medium and large groups of chimpanzees and gorillas, to explore what makes larger groups more socially complex than smaller groups. Given a fission-fusion system is likely to have characterised hominins, a comparison of the social complexity involved in fission-fusion and more stable social systems is likely to provide important new insights into human social evolution
