Refimprove date August 2008 DART Internet , was an Internet service provider founded in 2003 by James Austin and based in Fortitude Valley , a suburb of Brisbane , Australia . It offered cut price Internet access with unlimited data usage, and discounted setup fees which at the time were unknown in the Australian ISP Industry. DART quickly grew beyond its system capabilities, frequently running out of Bandwidth computing bandwidth . DART was part of a merger to form Direct Corporation in late 2003, in which three additional directors, Ranald McDonald , Michael Looke , and Stephen Thompson were added to the board. In a rash business decision by the company s new Managing Director, Ran McDonald, it obtained billing and management system services from Telenet Australia , further hindering the business functions because the new systems were largely incompatible with the data held on the original systems. Many customers reported that after the migration to the Telenet systems, they were being double billed for Internet services, and that their accounts were being randomly disabled for no apparent reason. In late 2004 or early 2005, the administrators of Direct Data announced an agreement between DART and Direct that saw the DART business sold to http www.hotkey.com.au Hotkey Internet Services for 222,000 a fraction of what it was originally worth.

cleanup date April 2010 Mean field theory gives sensible results as long as we are able to neglect fluctuations in the system under consideration. The Ginzburg Criterion tells us quantitatively when mean field theory is valid. It also gives the idea of an upper critical dimension, a dimensionality of the system above which mean field theory gives proper results, and the critical exponents predicted by mean field theory match exactly with those obtained by numerical methods. Example Ising Model If math phi math is the Phase transition Order parameters order parameter of the system, then mean field theory requires that the fluctuations in the order parameter are much smaller than the actual value of the order parameter near the critical point. Quantitatively, this means that br math displaystyle mathcal delta phi 2 quad ll quad phi 2 math Using this in the Landau theory , which is identical to the mean field theory for the Ising model, the value of the upper critical dimension comes out to be 4. If the dimension of the space is greater than 4, the mean field results are good and self consistent. But for dimensions less than 4, the predictions are less accurate. For instance, in one dimension, the mean field approximation predicts a phase transition at finite temperatures for the Ising model, whereas we know that there is none from the exact analytic solution that can be evaluated in one dimension except at T 0 or math T rightarrow infty math References Cite journal author V.
