Risk factors for partial adherence to parenteral antipsychotics in outpatients with severe mental disorders

Orbital-selective Mott transitions in the 2-band J_z-model: a high-precision quantum Monte Carlo study

Using high-precision quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations within the framework of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), we show that the anisotropic degenerate two-orbital Hubbard model contains two consecutive orbital-selective Mott transitions (OSMTs) even in the absence of spin-flip terms and pair-hopping processes. In order to reveal the second transition we carefully analyze the low-frequency part of the self-energy and the local spectral functions. This paper extends our previous work to lower temperatures. We discuss the nature - in particular the order - of both Mott transitions and list various possible extensions.

Orbital-selective Mott transitions in the anisotropic two-band Hubbard model at finite temperatures

The anisotropic degenerate two-orbital Hubbard model is studied within dynamical mean-field theory at low temperatures. High-precision calculations on the basis of a refined quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method reveal that two distinct orbital-selective Mott transitions occur for a bandwidth ratio of 2 even in the absence of spin-flip contributions to the Hund exchange. The second transition -- not seen in earlier studies using QMC, iterative perturbation theory, and exact diagonalization -- is clearly exposed in a low-frequency analysis of the self-energy and in local spectra.

Similar subjective response and adherence rates for long-acting risperidone and conventional depots

Background and Aims:Amongst oral antipsychotics, tolerance and adherence are thought to be higher with atypicals versus conventional agents. Fewer data exist for parenteral antipsychotics regarding the atypical–conventional comparison.Aim:to compare adherence rates and subjective response between long-acting risperidone (LAR) and conventional depots.Methods:Cross-sectional, naturalistic, one-site study of all outpatients with severe mental disorders treated with injectable antipsychotics over a 12–month period at one Spanish mental health unit. Different sets of broadly– and narrowly–defined criteria for adherence were calculated from mental health nurse´s registry data. Patients´ subjectiv…

Magnetic phase diagram of the anisotropic multi-band Hubbard model

Using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations we determine the magnetic phase diagram of the anisotropic two-band Hubbard model within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) in the important intermediate-coupling regime. We compare the QMC predictions with exact results from second-order weak-and strong-coupling perturbation theory. We find that the orbital-selective Mott transition (OSMT), which occurs in the fully frustrated case, is completely hidden in the antiferromagnetic (AF) ground state of the model. On the basis of our results, we discuss possible mechanisms of frustration. We also demonstrate the close relationship of the physics of the two-band Hubbard model in the orbital-selecti…
