A simplified Anisimov–Wang variant of the complete scaling approach makes it possible to determine the amplitudes of singularities for the diameter of the phase coexistence curve (CXC) on the basis of the coefficients in the power series expansion of the mean-field free energy in the reduced temperature and pressure near the critical point. This method is applied to obtain the amplitudes for the leading critical singularities of the CXC diameter in the case of a fluid described in the framework of the mesoscopic mean-field model. The results obtained demonstrate that the amplitudes of leading singularities of the CXC diameter are determined by the mesoscopic asymmetry parameters of the heterophase fluid.

The magnetic susceptibilities along and perpendicular to the c axis (hexagonal setting) between 2.0 and 300 K at a magnetic field of 1.00 T, and the magnetizations at field strengths up to 5.00 T, are presented for single crystals of [Co(NH3)5(OH2)] [Cr(CN)6]. The results are interpreted in terms of zero-field splitting (2D) of the ground 4A2g term by spin-orbit coupling and of magnetic exchange interaction between the chromium atoms. The magnetic exchange is modelled as one of Ising or mean-field in type. The exchange is found to be quite small: J = -0.18(6) cm-1 if the Ising model is employed, and -0.03(1) cm-1 for the mean-field model. The model adopted for the exchange has a strong influence on the value of the parameter D obtained. When the Ising model is used D is deduced to be -0.28(9) cm-l; when the mean-field model is used D is -0.14(4) cm-l. The g-values deduced are in agreement with those from e.s.r. measurements at higher temperatures and do not depend on the exchange model. In any case, D is found to be sufficiently large that it must be considered in a polarized neutron diffraction experiment on the compound.

In this study we obtain the P–T phase diagram for the ice VI–VII–VIII phase transitions by means of the mean field model developed here. We have fitted the experimentally measured P–T data to our phase line equations. Our calculated phase diagram describes adequately the observed behavior of the ice VI–VII–VIII phase transitions.

A model of dynamics of three interacting species is presented. Two of the species are prey and one is predator, which feeds on both prey, however with some preference to one type. Prey compete for space (breeding) although they always have access to food. Predators in order to survive and reproduce must catch prey, otherwise they die of hunger. The dynamics of the model is found via differential equations in the mean-field like approach and through computer simulations for agent-based method. We show that the coexistence of the three species is possible in the mean-field model, provided the preference of the predators is small, whereas from simulation it follows that the stochastic fluctuations drive, generally, one of the prey populations into extinction. We have found a different type of behavior for small and large systems and a rather unexpected dependence of the coexistence chance of the preference parameter in bigger lattices.

Using Landau mean field model, the spontaneous polarization and the dielectric susceptibility are analyzed as functions of temperature and pressure close to the cubic–tetragonal (ferroelectric–paraelectric) transition in [Formula: see text]. From the analysis of the dielectric susceptibility and the spontaneous polarization, the critical exponents are deduced in the classical and quantum limits for [Formula: see text]. From the critical behavior of the dielectric susceptibility, the spontaneous polarization can be described for the ferroelectric–paraelectric (cubic to tetragonal) transition between 4 and 8 GPa at constant temperatures of 0 to 200 K in [Formula: see text] within the Landau mean field model given here.

Changes in extracellular ion concentrations are known to modulate neuronal excitability and play a major role in controlling the neuronal firing rate, not just during the healthy homeostasis, but also in pathological conditions such as epilepsy. The microscopic molecular mechanisms of field effects are understood, but the precise correspondence between the microscopic mechanisms of ion exchange in the cellular space of neurons and the macroscopic behavior of neuronal populations remains to be established. We derive a mean field model of a population of Hodgkin Huxley type neurons. This model links the neuronal intra- and extra-cellular ion concentrations to the mean membrane potential and the mean synaptic input in terms of the synaptic conductance of the locally homogeneous mesoscopic network and can describe various brain activities including multi-stability at resting states, as well as more pathological spiking and bursting behaviors, and depolarizations. The results from the analytical solution of the mean field model agree with the mean behavior of numerical simulations of large-scale networks of neurons. The mean field model is analytically exact for non-autonomous ion concentration variables and provides a mean field approximation in the thermodynamic limit, for locally homogeneous mesoscopic networks of biophysical neurons driven by an ion exchange mechanism. These results may provide the missing link between high-level neural mass approaches which are used in the brain network modeling and physiological parameters that drive the neuronal dynamics.

Weakly first-order or nearly second-order phase transitions occurring in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly in DMAKCr and perovskite HyFe, are studied under the mean field model by using the observed data from the literature. In this work, mainly thermal and magnetic properties among various physical properties which have been reported in the literature for those MOFs are studied by the mean field theory. By expanding the free energy in terms of the magnetization (order parameter), the excess heat capacity ([Formula: see text]C[Formula: see text]) and entropy ([Formula: see text]S), latent heat (L), magnetization (M) and the inverse susceptibility ([Formula: see text]) are calculated as a function of temperature close to the weakly first-order phase transition within the Landau phenomenological model which is fitted to the experimental data from the literature for C[Formula: see text] (DMAKCr and perovskite HyFe) and for magnetization M (HyFe). Our predictions of the excess heat capacity ([Formula: see text]C[Formula: see text]) and entropy ([Formula: see text]S) agree below T[Formula: see text] with the observed data within the temperature intervals studied for DMAKCr and perovskite HyFe. From our predictions, we find that magnetization decreases continuously whereas the inverse susceptibility decreases linearly with increasing temperature toward the transition temperature in those MOFs as expected for a weakly first-order transition from the mean field model.
