Threshold Disorder as a Source of Diverse and Complex Behavior in Random Nets (2002)
McGuire, Patrick C., Bohr, Henrik, Clark, John W., Haschke, Robert, Pershing, Chris, Rafelski, Johann
We study the diversity of complex spatio-temporal patterns in the behavior of random synchronous asymmetric neural networks (RSANNs). Special attention is given to the impact of disordered threshold...
Cracking Open the Window for Strongly Interacting Massive Particles as the Halo Dark Matter (2001)
McGuire, Patrick C., Steinhardt, Paul J.
In the early 1990's, an analysis was completed by several theorists of the available mass/cross-section parameter space for unusual particle candidates to solve the dark matter problem, e.g. strongly...
