Universality of the Nonphononic Vibrational Spectrum across Different Classes of Computer Glasses.

It has been recently established that the low-frequency spectrum of simple computer glass models is populated by soft, quasilocalized nonphononic vibrational modes whose frequencies ω follow a gapless, universal distribution D(ω)∼ω^{4}. While this universal nonphononic spectrum has been shown to be robust to varying the glass history and spatial dimension, it has so far only been observed in simple computer glasses featuring radially symmetric, pairwise interaction potentials. Consequently, the relevance of the universality of nonphononic spectra seen in simple computer glasses to realistic laboratory glasses remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of the universal ω^{4} nonphononic spectrum in a broad variety of realistic computer glass models, ranging from tetrahedral network glasses with three-body interactions, through molecular glasses and glassy polymers, to bulk metallic glasses. Taken together with previous observations, our results indicate that the low-frequency nonphononic vibrational spectrum of any glassy solid quenched from a melt features the universal ω^{4} law, independently of the nature of its microscopic interactions.

3 B's for Preventing Soft-Tissue Injuries.

The 3 B's are effective watchpoints for moving and working stronger, safer, and more in control.

Second Circle Leadership.

Disconnected leaders are typically stymied when it comes to sensing trends of change, making effective plans, deeply motivating others, and implementing game-changing actions.

Discovering Safety: Why Participation Does Not Equal Engagement.

Solely broadcasting "shoulds" and "have-tos" quashes energy and internal motivation.

Preventing Strained Communications.

Strong communications are critical to supporting, guiding, and influencing; a leader's connections with others heighten the ability to influence, as well as quantity and quality of work performance.
