The local elastic structure of a single-atom Lennard-Jones glass is discussed. We show that the local pressures in this system have a large variance in their distribution, which is of the same scale as the breaking pressure. These pressures have a spatial medium range order with a characteristic...

The fracton description of vibrational excitations in the strong scattering regime, above the Ioffe-Regel limit is reviewed. The reasons why this is a plausible model for vibrations in amorphous materials are explained and some predictions discussed. It is shown how such a model arises in the...

Discusses the new managerial model of the 1970s and 1980s which emphasizes flatter, flexible, less bureaucratic organizations, with increased employee awareness through training and development, and suggests that actual research reveals frustration and opposition to these ideas from trainees and...
