The Israel Lobby's Dangerous Agenda for the U.S.: Attack Free Speech and Criminalize Resistance
With help from influential liberals, pro-Israel lobbyists push to define resisting Israeli apartheid as hate speech.

Last week, just a few minutes before the House Foreign Affairs Committee met for a hearing, one of the Israel lobby's most dependable members of Congress, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen huddled with twenty supporters of AIPAC, the lobby's front line organization in Washington. It was a routine affair for the Florida Republican and her pro-Israel allies, whom she addressed by their first names. But a member of the public who witnessed the meeting noticed a startling new agenda was on the table.
The witness told me that Ros-Lehtinen vowed to destroy the mounting grassroots BDS campaign to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. To do so, she pledged to weaken the First Amendment. "Free speech is being used in our country to denigrate Israel and we need to actively fight against that," Ros-Lehtinen declared, according to the source.
Disturbing as her statement might have been, it was consistent with the rhetoric bellowed out by nearly every presidential contender who appeared on stage at DC's Verizon Center. Speaking before some 18,000 AIPAC supporters, Senator Ted Cruz not only pledged to starve educational institutions of federal funding if they dared to support BDS, he promised that under his watch, "they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Echoing Cruz, Republican contender John Kasich announced his intention to "use the full force of the White House" to destroy what he called "the scourge" of BDS.
The Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, was no less draconian. Reverting to the "Goldwater girl" sensibility of her conservative college years, and tossing aside her recent appeals to social justice intersectionality, Clinton vowed to punish the campus left for supporting Palestinian human rights. Slamming BDS as a form of anti-Semitic hate speech, Clinton offered encouragement to the young, affluent and almost uniformly white pro-Israel students bused into AIPAC in droves. "Don't let anyone silence you, bully you or try to shut down debate, especially in places of learning like colleges and universities," she implored them.
The BDS movement has gathered momentum at a staggering pace since it was devised by Palestinian civil society groups in 2005. With its call for grassroots level boycotts to pressure Israel into respecting the human rights of Palestinians, the movement has spread across European capitals and found fertile soil on American college campuses. Yet just a few years ago, AIPAC and its affiliates displayed little interest at all in it. When he appeared at AIPAC in 2011, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent his entire speech badgering the Obama administration for not attacking Iran. He did not feel compelled to mention Palestinians even once. Despite the influential role played in the 2012 Republican presidential primary by Sheldon Adelson, a key benefactor of Netanyahu and the Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, BDS was scarcely mentioned by any of the candidates, nor was it discussed much in mainstream American media.
Almost four years later, with the Iran nuclear deal ratified, the peace process in shambles and the Green Line that was supposed to separate Israel from a future Palestinian state fully erased by a settlement movement that dominates the Israeli government, AIPAC is moving to destroy the last line of resistance. From Washington to Paris to London, Israel lobbyists are extracting ritual denunciations of BDS from its political hand puppets and authoring new laws to forbid its implementation. Repressive legislative efforts are accompanied by legal subterfuge, high-tech sabotage, McCarthy-style online blacklists and carefully orchestrated smear campaigns against anyone who resists. No target is too small. With guidance from Jerusalem, where the most right-wing government in Israeli history is mounting an all-out assault on internal dissent, the lobby has embraced a totalitarian agenda that aims for nothing less than the criminalization of all political opposition.
On display for the first time at AIPAC, the Israel lobby's search-and-destroy mission against BDS has already found enthusiastic allies in governments across the West. In Paris, where Prime Minister Manuel Valls vehemently equated anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, a French court of criminal appeals recently upheld the conviction of a dozen Palestine solidarity activists for calling for the boycott of Israeli goods. In the UK, the Conservative government of Prime Minister David Cameron has introduced legislation to prevent local town councils from divesting from Israeli products or even from weapons manufacturers. As state legislatures across the US vote to blacklist companies that refuse to do business in Israel — a rare and highly unusual instance of corporate regulation — the University of California board of regents has taken the unprecedented step of defining anti-Zionism as anti-Jewish discrimination, setting the stage for outlawing a political position gaining in popularity among Jewish Americans.
In its bid to criminalize the speech of its opponents, the Israel lobby has sought to formally redefine anti-Semitism according to the "3 D's" formula conceived by Natan Sharansky. Promoted as a former Soviet dissident who champions freedom, Sharansky is, in fact, a hardline Likudnik Israeli politician and promoter of Israel's settlement enterprise who helped inspire George W. Bush's Middle Eastern conquests. Sharansky's "3 D's" abandons the traditional understanding of anti-Semitism, redefining it from the discrimination against Jews as Jews to any opposition to the political imperatives of the Israeli government, thereby limiting Jewish identity to the narrow ideological designs of Zionism. Israel lobbyists have successfully pressured the US State Department to adopt Sharansky's definition, and after a long slog, have pushed the University of California regents to endorse it as well. If this highly politicized understanding of anti-Semitism is ever enforced, anyone who has campaigned against Israeli human rights abuses could face harsh legal recriminations, even if they identify as Jewish.
Capitalizing on a campaign finance system deregulated by the Citizens United decision, which defined corporations as people with unlimited rights to free speech, the Israel lobby has unprecedented leeway to limit the speech of actual human beings. Leveraging massive donations from Likudnik oligarchs, it is planting cadres at every level of government, turning Congress, statehouses and student government councils into a unified platform for crushing resistance. As the veteran AIPAC operative Jonathan Kessler declared, "We're going to make sure that pro-Israel students take over the student government and reverse [divestment votes]. This is how AIPAC operates in our nation's capital."
The lobby's campaign extends well beyond crushing Palestine solidarity. In the years ahead, pro-Israel forces will serve as the leading edge of reactionary campaigns to fracture any iteration of solidarity between marginalized social groups. The smears of Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the British Labour Party, offer a perfect example of how Israel has been instrumentalized to break down progressive social movements. Elected in one of the most dramatic grassroots triumphs in recent political history by a coalition of university students, blue collar workers and immigrants outraged by deepening austerity and destructive foreign interventions, Corbyn has come under sustained fire from the neoliberal Blairites who had dominated Labour since the 1990's. This February, anti-Corbyn elements opened up a new front with a torrent of thinly sourced allegations that Labour had suddenly become infected with "an anti-Semitism problem." Centered around the resignation of a Blairite Oxford University Labour club leader who complained that Jew-haters disguised as human rights activists had made his life unbearable, the unconfirmed claims made their way to the New York Times op-ed page through a column by Roger Cohen entitled, "An Anti-Semitism of the Left."
Cobbling together a litany of complaints by anxiety-ridden Zionists about the tide of Palestine activism rising all around them, Cohen bemoaned the "identity and liberation politics" that now prevail on university campuses. Just a few paragraphs later, however, Cohen pronounced his devotion to the Zionist project, insisting that "the Jewish state was needed… That is why I am a Zionist — now a dirty word in Europe." Yet Cohen does not live in Israel; he resides instead in an affluent locale in New York City, where Jews enjoy lavish lifestyles, political power and a sense of security they could never dream of in Jerusalem. His connection to Zionism is not grounded in the facts on the ground in Israel-Palestine, but in an identity politics that only elites like him can enjoy. When forms of speech that reinforce his identity have come under attack, as when Islamic fanatics massacred the staff of Charlie Hebdo, he summoned "the entire free world" to "ruthlessly" defend liberal values. When his identity has been challenged by the unrelenting demands of Israel's colonial subjects, however, Cohen quickly abandoned all pretense to enlightenment. He has become the living embodiment of Phil Ochs' sardonic classic, "Love Me I'm A Liberal": "Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally," as Ochs sang.
While Israel lobbyists howl about the threat of intersectionality on campus, they are actively appropriating its identitarian language to undermine progressive social justice organizing on campus. Mark Yudof, the former University of California president who tacitly endorsed the criminal prosecution of Muslim-American students for protesting a speech by Israel's former ambassador to the US, put the tactic on display by describing factual claims that Israeli soldiers deliberately kill civilians as a "microaggression against Jews." At the University of Michigan, a member of the student governing council justified her vote against a resolution to divest from corporations involved in the Israeli occupation on the grounds that it denied "safe spaces" to Jewish students. And at the University of South California, a pro-Israel student conceded that the UC regents' decision to classify anti-Zionism as a form of anti-Semitism was an attack on free speech — but supported it anyway because, in her view, Jews are "a minority still so unfairly discriminated against and maligned." Animated by the perceived ethnic slights of a hyper-privileged overclass, pro-Israel activism is essentially a White Lives Matter movement protected from accountability by morally inconsistent liberals. Indeed, many of the Jewish liberals who claim to have battled South African apartheid and marched alongside the civil rights movement now seek to destroy a struggle they inspired.
Toward the end of his life, as he watched the occupation of Palestine deepen and expand, the dissident Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz described Israel as "the only totalitarian country in the enlightened world." He was referring to the way the Jewish state promoted itself as a beacon of liberal democracy while imposing a brutal, panopticon-style regime of repression on Palestinians, raiding their homes at night, shuttering their media outlets and torturing them at will. Today, Israel is projecting this regime outward, recruiting operatives across the West to eradicate all resistance, even attacking constitutionally protected forms of protest. Like the country it has enlisted to defend, a borderless settler-colony that demands special exemption from international law, the lobby's mission knows no limits. Where the occupation started is well known, but where will it end?

Medical Marijuana Patients In Texas Worry About Shortage Of Registered Doctors
Posted on September 2, 2019 in bmbntsiziwtw
Share RYAN POPPE / TEXAS PUBLIC RADIOCompassionate Cultivation, the second medical marijuana dispensary in Texas, is set to open in early 2018.Cannabidiol oil, which is derived from the marijuana plant, will be available by prescription for the first time in Texas early next year.The 2015 law that set up Texas' medical marijuana program allowed the state to license three marijuana businesses. So far the state's approved two. One dispensary near Schulenburg and another, named Compassionate Cultivation, near Manchaca, just south of Austin.CBD advocates celebrated this week during Compassionate Cultivation's dedication ceremony, but some of them are worried there aren't enough Texas physicians willing to prescribe this low-THC cannabis oil as medicine.You have to take a two-lane country road to get to Compassionate Cultivation's dispensary. It sits in the back of an industrial park —the last stop past a string of a white aluminum-siding buildings. It's the type of business you wouldn't notice unless you were actively searching for it.Credit Ryan Poppe / Texas Public Radio 1 of 2Morris Denton of Compassionate Cultivation.Past the front doors, the dispensary's consultation room resembles a doctor's waiting room. CEO Morris Denton said, starting in January, patients will be able to find out how their CBD medication works or the strain being recommended by their doctor."We'll have therapists on staff here to help provide counseling to patients as they come in; we'll have different forms of medication that's available; we'll utilize a couple of different strains and couple products per strain to create the right medication that will have the best impact on that patient," Denton said.A few security doors away, in back of the building is the Compassionate Cultivation's grow lab — a series of sanitized rooms, where rows and rows of marijuana plants are grown under controlled lights and fans. This is also where the company extracts CBD oil, the only legal element of the plant in Texas.Outside, before the dedication ceremony starts, about two dozen people mingle and eat BBQ. They don't look like who you'd think would show up to celebrate a cannabis business' opening. Like Terri Carrieker, a mom from Austin."About five years ago we became felons in the state of Texas, a conservative Christian mom like me, right? But we had friends that had a relative in a 'legal state.' He had a dispense-grow license and he actually made products for us," Carrieker said.Carrieker's 15-year-old daughter Catherine was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy at 3 years old. It is the one condition the state will allow doctors to prescribe CBD oil for.Carrieker said her daughter can have as many as six to eight seizures in a night. But, when they began giving Catherine illegal cannabis oil brought in from Colorado, she was seizure-free for days.That was enough to convince Carrieker to add her daughter to the state's CBD oil registry and find a doctor willing to prescribe it as soon as possible.Dr. Karen Keough is one of those Texas neurologists who treats epilepsy and is willing to prescribe CBD oil to patients."I can tell you that if you that if you do 'epilepsy' for a living, the patients are asking you about it every day. Every neurologist is getting this conversation about this every day and they have been for years," Keough said. "II think everyone has a level of awareness of it, but there's a different level of comfort with it."According to the state, only seven of Texas's estimated 400 neurologists have signed up as registered CBD oil prescribers.While CBD oil is legal in Texas, it is not at the federal level because it is derived from the same plant that produces THC, the substance in marijuana that gets you high.Because of that, Koeugh said many Texas doctors still fear they could lose their federal license to prescribe medications if they prescribe the oil."From my perspective the alternative is what happens in other states where the doctors say, 'You have an eligible condition, now go across the street and ask the guy in the cannabis shop what to take and how to take it.' If no one is after that guy across the street, why would they come after me," Keough said.Keough believes more doctors will register with the state once Texas dispensaries start selling the oil in early 2018.CREDIT RYAN POPPE / TEXAS PUBLIC RADIOA rendition of the completed Compassionate Cultivation dispensary.Terri Carrieker is just ecstatic her doctor was willing to make it available for her daughter.Fighting back tears, Carrieker said, "It's very emotional to think that finally in our own state, you know — without being able to worry about legal issues — we might be able to give our daughter what she needs."The owners of Compassionate Cultivation estimate they will produce their first batch of oil from the marijuana plants they're growing in either January or early February.Ryan Poppe can be reached at rpoppe@tpr.org or on Twitter @RyanPoppe1 read more

Sen Nathaniel Oaks Sentenced to 3 12 Years in Federal Prison

By Stephen Janis and J.K. Schmid, Special to the AFROStorm clouds descended on Baltimore, Tuesday around 2 p.m. A black haze reached down to obscure the topmost floors of the World Trade Center. Lightning flashed and thunder louder than the trucks lumbering down Pratt Street. But the rain hadn't come yet.A political career that spanned nearly four decades came to an ignominious end July 17 when former State Sen. Nathaniel "Nat" Oaks was sentenced to three and half years in federal prison for accepting bribes and obstructing justice. Upon his release, Oaks must also submit to three years of state supervision. It's a grim forecast that will shadow Oaks, 71, almost into his 80s.Sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison for bribery, former Sen. Nat Oaks went to Luna Del Sea Steak & Bistro for a meal with supporters. (Photo by J.K. Schmid)Oaks was also ordered to pay a $30,000 fine and to perform 80 hours of community service.Oaks has 60 days to report to Federal Correctional Institution-a prison of his own choosing. Before the worst comes, Oaks took shelter at Luna Del Sea Steak & Bistro, 300 Pratt St. on July 17.Tucked in the back, past the bar and the restaurant's booths, in Luna's banquet hall, Oaks broke bread with around 40 friends and supporters after his defeat in court."Good people make mistakes," said Anthony McCarthy, former media representative for Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and former AFRO editor, told the AFRO. "Nathaniel Oaks still has a lot to contribute to the community. Those people who truly know him have already forgiven him and are ready to join him for the next chapter in his life."The sentence comes after Oaks pleaded guilty to a series of federal charges, the result of an investigation that included wiretaps, business owners working as FBI informants and efforts by Oaks to tip off a target of the probe which resulted in additional charges.Charges from federal prosecutors depicted Oaks as a politician who was willing to sell influence in exchange for cash, and who attempted to stymie the investigation after he agreed to cooperate.In a series of meetings with a lobbyist, Oaks negotiated cash payments of $10,300 to assist a business working with the FBI to obtain a contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Oaks eventually wrote a letter on the company's behalf and later introduced a bill that would have authorized a $250,000 bond to fund the project which netted him an additional $5,000 payment.After Oaks was indicted, he agreed to cooperate with the FBI and wear a wire. But, investigators caught the West Baltimore politician tipping off the intended target, which resulted in a superseding indictment and additional charges of obstructing justice. Oaks also reversed on his agreement to cooperate with the investigation.During sentencing WBAL-TV reported that Judge Richard Bennett said Oaks' efforts to obstruct an ongoing investigation factored into his decision to impose a lengthier sentence."To obstruct an FBI investigation is as serious as the underlying case," Bennett said before handing down the sentence.The statutory minimum in these kinds of cases is 8-10 years. The defense asked for 18 months."[Bennett] was still stuck on the one thing," Larry Young, former Maryland State Senator and host of WOLB's The Larry Young Morning Show, told the AFRO. "This judge wanted to send a signal to Nat Oaks: He should not have told the federal FBI he was going to cooperate and reverse himself. And he hung to that."Rather than resign, Larry Young was expelled from the Maryland State Senate over ethics allegations in 1998. He was acquitted at trial."To anyone in that courtroom, it was very clear that he was looking at that 18 months, but he put on the additional years because of that," Young said.Young was one of 40 character witnesses to write a letter to Judge Bennett on behalf of Oaks.The sentence marks the end of a career that was forged in the Edmondson Village community of West Baltimore. Even early in his career Oaks was no stranger to controversy.First elected to the state legislator as a delegate to the 41st district in 1983, Oaks lost his seat in 1989 after he was accused of double billing the state for personal expenses.But, Oaks won the seat back in 1994, and served as a delegate until 2017 when Governor Larry Hogan appointed him to replace retiring State Sen. Lisa Gladden.Still, even facing charges, Oaks managed to weigh in on the most recent election.After a group of 41st district constituents won a court order to have him removed from the 2018 primary ballot, Atty. Gen. Brian Frosh successfully persuaded the Maryland Court of Appeals to keep him on it.The move prompted criticism that keeping Oaks on the ballot was an attempt to split Black votes in a contentious Senate race between former Del. Jill Carter and newcomer JD Merrill, who has ties to the former Gov. Martin O'Malley through marriage to his daughter Grace who also works for the Attorney General's office.Carter ultimately prevailed, but Oaks still garnered roughly 1,000 votes in a race decided by roughly 2,000 votes.Young, the first Black chair of a standing committee, Environmental Matters, worked with Oaks in the Senate."I tend to be a consensus builder, and moderate, Nat's gung-ho, 'let's get it done now,' and so, it was like, if you don't want Nat Oaks on your ass, you've gotta talk to LY," Young said. "The caucus is gonna miss him, because not everyone in that caucus has the ability to stand and tell the other folks this is wrong, this is unfair, and you're gonna respect us. And that was him, Joan Carter Conway were two of the few that had kind of discipline and character about them, and that's going to be missed, in that caucus."Oaks came to the front of the restaurant to greet the AFRO but declined interview or comment."The AFRO never writes anything good about me, so no thank you," Oaks said.The rain came shortly thereafter. read more

As a result of the sharp rise in the interest for tourism activities, safety and security matters have also become one of the forces causing vicissitudes in the tourism industry in the world. Since tourism sector is contributing greatly to environmental sustainability, tourist safety is also now critical to tourism growth. In the travel and tour experiences, the satisfaction of a tourist is discussed as part of a tourist's post-procured and consumed assessment of the destination. Review of the three most prominent tourism plans in Ghana was conducted in this study. It was discovered that there was no tourist safety policy and establishment of tourism office in most of the MMDAs. This situation has bred weak governmental administrative linkages and neglect of tourist safety and security at the MMDAs. Three tourist facilities in the Central Region of Ghana were chosen for the review-study. Responses of 550 tourists were reviewed in the study. Chi-square test was used to test whether the feeling of safety at the destination was influenced by their purpose of visit. The lingering thought-provoking question about these visits is, how safe and secured are the tourists and visitors in these facilities? It is recommended that GTA should lead the campaign exercise in these three facilities to produce a digital tourist safety and security documentary about each facility and this can assist and boost the confidence of potential tourists to appraise the safety and security of the destination before traveling.

Central Embassy just won a ton of retail concept & design awards
Bust out the Champagne
By ASIACITY STUDIO | Nov 27, 2018
By ASIACITY STUDIO
| Nov 27, 2018
Central Embassy is no slouch in the design department by any stretch of the imagination. Between OPEN HOUSE, SIWILAI CITY CLUB, and other properties like Park Hyatt in the same building, it's one of Bangkok's most stunning malls. This goes beyond mere conjecture now that the brand announced it won a whopping seven property design awards this year.
Arguably the biggest victory of them all was the three trophies from the Asia Pacific Property Awards Grand Final 2018, the region's biggest and most respected property awards program covering more than a dozen countries across Asia. At the show, Central Embassy won "Best Retail Development", "Best Retail Architectural Design" and "Best Universal Design Development", which is quite a boon for the company.
"It is an honor for Central Embassy, OPEN HOUSE and SIWILAI CITY CLUB to be awarded these prestigious awards," said Barom Bhicharnchitr, Managing Director of Central Embassy. "I am truly grateful for this significant recognition and will continue to create a nonpareil retail experience for our valued customers both in local communities and the global stage."
The other awards Barom is referencing come from the 2018 International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Asia-Pacific Shopping Center Awards Program and MAPIC Awards 2018 – both very highly recognized in the region for design-specific honors. At ICSC 2018, OPEN HOUSE won gold in the "Retail Concept" category, with its buildingmate SIWILAI CITY CLUB picking up silver in the same category as well. The mall as a whole also won a silver in the "New Development" category at the same event. In terms of MAPIC, OPEN HOUSE came away a winner again with "Best Leisure Concept in a Retail Space."
That's enough awards to make your head spin, but that's not even the end of it. Central Embassy and OPEN HOUSE both picked up two more awards from the Good Design Awards 2018 and PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2018 – winning a G Mark and has won 13th Property Guru Thailand Property Awards 2018 in 3 categories; Best Retail Development, Best Retail Architectural Design and Best Universal Design Development respectively.

\section{Introduction}

Surface growing \cite{bara95,krug97}
is a phenomenon observed in nature as
well as in the laboratory. As an example of the latter
we cite the experimental technique known as molecular
beam epitaxy which allows us the growing of surface
at the atomic level.
The surface is
described by a height variable $h({\bf r},t)$ that gives the
height of the deposited layer at a given point ${\bf r}$ of
the substrate at time $t$.
Several models have
been introduced to describe the mean features of
surface growing in which the heights
are stochastic variables
whose time evolution is governed by a Markovian stochastic process.
Here we are concerned with the solution of such models
by the use of mean-field approximations.

Two relevant quantities are used to characterize the
surface growth. One is the mean height ${\bar h}$ of the surface from
the substrate and the other is the surface width $w$,
which is a measure of the surface roughness.
The divergence of $w$ characterizes a rough interface.
According to Family and Vicsek \cite{fami85}, the width of a
rough surface of a sufficient large system behaves as
\begin{equation}
w \sim t^{\,\gamma},
\label{1}
\end{equation}
where $\gamma$ is the growth exponent.
This behavior characterizes a rough thermodynamic phase. Otherwise,
that is, if the width of an infinite system remains finite when
$t\to\infty$, the surface is smooth.
A roughening transition takes place when,
by varying the control parameters, the surface
changes from a smooth to a rough surface.

The interface may yet be pinned
or moving. A moving thermodynamic phase is characterized
by a constant velocity $v$ of the interface, or in other
words, by a linear growth of the mean height, that is,
\begin{equation}
{\bar h}= v t.
\label{2}
\end{equation}
A depinning transition \cite{reis03} from a
pinned to a moving phase occurs when, by changing the control
parameters, the interface begins to move with a constant velocity.
This is also known as a wetting transition \cite{diet86} since
in the moving phase the mean height becomes infinitely large when
$t\to\infty$, that characterizes a wet phase.
At the depinning transition, the mean height
may not grow linearly with time but may behave according to
\begin{equation}
{\bar h} \sim t{\,^\gamma}.
\label{3}
\end{equation}
In the model we study here the depinning transition
coincide with the roughening transition.

If we define $P(h,t)$ as the one-point height probability distribution
at time $t$, the mean height ${\bar h}$ and the square $w^2$ of the
surface width are the first moment and the variance
of this probability distribution, respectively. The asymptotic behavior
given by Eqs. (\ref{1}) and (\ref{2}) can then be obtained from
the following scaling form \cite{gine04}
\begin{equation}
P(h,t) = t^{-\gamma} f(\frac{h-vt}{t^{\gamma}}),
\label{scal}
\end{equation}
where $f(x)$ is a universal function.
The behaviors given by Eqs. (\ref{1}) and (\ref{3})
also follows from this same form by setting $v=0$.

Some models have been introduced to describe the
surface growth and the asymptotic behavior in which the heights
are stochastic variables governed by Langevin equations.
Two important ones are the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) \cite{edwa82}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial h}{\partial t}= \nu \nabla^2h+
\eta({\bf r}, t),
\end{equation}
and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) \cite{kard86}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial h}{\partial t}= \nu \nabla^2h+
\lambda(\nabla h)^2+ \eta({\bf r},t),
\end{equation}
where $\eta({\bf r},t)$ is a white noise.
Since the EW equation is linear, it stays invariant under the
transformation $h\to-h$ while
the KPZ equation, which is nonlinear, lacks this property.
In one dimension the growth exponent for
the EW class is $\gamma= 1/4$ and for the KPZ class is $\gamma=1/3$.

In this work we study a growth model, introduced by
Hinrichsen et al. \cite{hinr97},
with deposition and
evaporation of particles that respects the restricted solid on
solid (RSOS) condition \cite{kost89} and in which
the evaporation at the initial height is forbidden,
that is, there is a wall at the zero height.
The presence of the wall leads to a nonequilibrium wetting transition
depending on the evaporation and deposition rates.
It is worth mentioning that
nonequilibrium wetting transition has been already studied
by another approach namely
by mapping the KPZ with a potential into a Langevin
equation with a multiplicative noise \cite{tu97,muno98}.

The growth model is studied here
by means of simple and pair mean-field approximations.
The mean-field approximation at the pair level,
which does respect the RSOS condition exactly, is found
to be capable of describing a moving phase, that is,
a moving interface at constant velocity.
Another feature of the two-site mean-field approximation
is that it becomes the exact solution when detailed balance
is fulfilled.

Recently, a mean-field theory for surface growth
has been introduced by Hinrichsen et al. \cite{hinr03}
and used by Ginelli and Hinrichsen \cite{gine04} to
study a single step model for surface growth.
The one-site and two-site mean-field approximations we use here
are distinct from that of Hinrichsen et al. \cite{hinr03}
but share properties that are similar.

The paper is organized as follows. In the next section
we define the model to be examined and write down
the master equation for general models with the RSOS condition.
In section III we solve the master equation within the
one-site mean-field approach exactly. The section IV is
dedicated to the pair mean-field approach. The
resultant equations are solved numerically and compared with the
results obtained from the one-site approximation and from simulations.
In section V we analyze the detailed balance condition and
in section VI we present our conclusions.

\section{Model and master equation}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\epsfig{file=rsos.eps,width=8cm}
\caption{A configuration of heights with the RSOS condition}
\label{rsos}
\end{figure}

We consider a one-dimensional lattice where
a discrete variable $h_i$ is attached to the site $i$,
that represents the height of the pile of particles at site $i$.
The stochastic variable $h_i$ takes the integer
values. At time $t=0$ we consider a flat surface
at the zero level, that is,  $h_i=0$ for all $i$.
We consider models with random sequential updates
of the heights, that have not
only deposition but also evaporation.
We will restrict ourselves only to models
that obey the RSOS condition, that is, such that
$|h_i-h_{i+1}|\leq 1$ (see Fig. \ref{rsos}).
At each time step only one
site is updated according to local stochastic rules.
If site $i$ is chosen, these rules will affect only
the neighboring sites $i+1$ and $i-1$ and site $i$ itself.
The rate of the transition $h_i\to h_i+n$ is denoted
by $c_n(h_{i-1},h_i,h_{i+1})$.
The only possible transitions are those for which $n=\pm1$
meaning that the height is increased (deposition)
or decreased (evaporation) by just one unit.

The possible transition rates are presented in Fig. \ref{rate}
and are given by
\begin{equation}
c_+(h,h,h) = p_1,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
c_+(h,h,h+1) = c_+(h+1,h,h) = p_3,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
c_+(h+1,h,h+1) = p_5,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
c_-(h-1,h,h-1) = p_2,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
c_-(h-1,h,h) = c_-(h,h,h-1) = p_4,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
c_-(h,h,h) = p_6,
\end{equation}
and the model so defined has six parameters: $p_1, \ldots, p_6$.
By rescaling time we see that they are not all independent
and one of them can set equal to unity.

\begin{figure}

\label{rate}
\end{figure}

The probability $P(h_1,h_2,\ldots,t)$
of a given configuration $(h_1,h_2,\ldots)$
at time $t$ obeys the master equation
\[
\frac{d}{dt} P(h_1,h_2,\ldots,t) =
\]
\[
\sum_{n=\pm1}\sum_i
\{ c_n(h_{i-1},h_i-n,h_{i+1}) P(h_1,\ldots,h_i-n,\ldots,t)
\]
\begin{equation}
-c_n(h_{i-1},h_i,h_{i+1}) P(h_1,\ldots,h_i,\ldots,t) \},
\label{master}
\end{equation}
and we are considering periodic boundary conditions.
For late use we write down the time evolution
of the marginal probability distribution related
to a given site, say site $1$. It is given by
\[
\frac{d}{dt} P(h_1,t) = \sum_{h_0,h_2}
\sum_{n=\pm1}
\{ c_n(h_0,h_1-n,h_2) P(h_0,h_1-n,h_2,t)
\]
\begin{equation}
-c_n(h_0,h_1,h_2) P(h_0,h_1,h_2,t) \}.
\label{one}
\end{equation}
We also write down the time evolution of the
marginal probability distribution related to
two consecutive sites, say site 1 and 2. It is
given by
\[
\frac{d}{dt} P(h_1,h_2,t) =
2 \sum_{h_0} \sum_{n=\pm1}
\{ c_n(h_0,h_1-n,h_2) P(h_0,h_1-n,h_2,t)
\]
\begin{equation}
-c_n(h_0,h_1,h_2) P(h_0,h_1,h_2,t) \},
\label{two}
\end{equation}
valid for solutions that are translationally invariant,
where we have made use of the symmetry
$c_n(h_0,h_1,h_2)=c_n(h_2,h_1,h_0)$.

For certain values of the parameters the stochastic process
exhibits detailed balance. This means to say that each term
of the summation on the right hand side of Eq. (\ref{master})
vanishes in the time independent stationary state.
In this case the time independent stationary probability
distribution can be written as the product
\begin{equation}
P(h_1,h_2,h_3,h_4,\ldots) = \frac1Z\, T(h_1,h_2)\,T(h_2,h_3)
T(h_3,h_4)\ldots
\label{pt}
\end{equation}
where $T(h_1,h_2)$ are the elements of a symmetric matrix $T$,
that vanish whenever the RSOS condition is not fulfilled.
The detailed balance condition gives the following relations
for the nonvanishing elements of $T$, denoted by
$X_h = T(h,h)$ and $Y_h = T(h,h+1)$,
\begin{equation}
p_1\, X_h^2  = p_2\, Y_h^2,
\label{db1}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
p_3 \, X_h Y_h= p_4\, Y_h X_{h+1},
\label{db2}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
p_5\, Y_h^2 = p_6\, X_{h+1}^2.
\label{db3}
\end{equation}
From these equations follows the relation \cite{neer}
\begin{equation}
\frac{p_1\,p_5}{p_2\,p_6} = \frac{p_3^{\,2}}{p_4^{\,2}},
\label{db}
\end{equation}
which is the condition for detailed balance to hold.

In the specific model \cite{hinr97} we study here,
the deposition occurs with a rate $q$ and the evaporation, for
nonzero heights, occurs with rates $r$ or $p$, depending on the
neighbors configuration. More specifically,
if $h_i= 0$, $p_1=p_3=p_5=q$ and $p_2=p_4=p_6=0$; and
if $h_i\neq 0$,
\begin{equation}
p_1=p_3=p_5=q, \qquad\qquad
p_2=p_4= r,    \qquad\qquad
p_6= p.
\label{sm}
\end{equation}
The detailed balance condition (\ref{db})
gives $p=r$. Therefore, when $p=r$
is respected the model can be solved exactly
\cite{hinr97} for the pinned phase.

Without the wall at the initial height, we would have a rough
interface growing in the positive direction for $q>q_c$ and in
the negative direction for $q<q_c$.
With the wall the phase $q>q_c$
is not affected, in the the sense that the interface still grows
and is rough. For $q<q_c$, in the presence of the wall,
the interface is smooth and stays pinned to the substrate.
Hence, at $q=q_c$, the model displays a depinning
and a roughening transition.
The rough interface may display a EW or a KPZ
behavior. In the case $p=r$, it is known that the crossover from
EW to KPZ behavior \cite{reis06} coincides with the critical point
occurring at $q=p$.

The case $p=0$ \cite{alon96,alon98}
is special since in this case no particle can
be evaporated from a completed filled layer and
the presence of the wall thus makes no difference.
The critical behavior at $p=0$ places the model in the universality
class of the directed percolation (DP) class
\cite{hinr00,marro99}.

The order parameter of the pinned phase is the density of sites,
$P_0$, in contact with the substrate, or the wall.
It is assumed to behave near and below the transition as
\begin{equation}
P_0 \sim (q_c-q)^\beta.
\label{op}
\end{equation}
The interface width $w$ is finite at the pinned phase but
diverges as one approaches the critical point. We
assume that it diverges according to
\begin{equation}
w \sim (q_c-q)^{-\zeta}.
\end{equation}
The order parameter of the moving phase is chosen to be
the velocity $v$ of the interface growing, defined by
\begin{equation}
v=\frac{d}{dt}\langle h_1 \rangle =
\sum_{h_1} h_1 \frac{d}{dt} P(h_1,t).
\end{equation}
which can also be written as
\begin{equation}
v= \sum_{h_0,h_1,h_2}
\sum_{n=\pm1}
n c_n(h_0,h_1,h_2) P(h_0,h_1,h_2,t).
\end{equation}
Near and above the transition we assume that the velocity behaves as
\begin{equation}
v \sim (q-q_c)^\theta.
\end{equation}

\section{Simple mean-field approximation}

We are interested in studying the solution of the master
equation associated to an infinite system.
In order to solve the master equation (\ref{master})
we begin by using a simple mean
field approximation. In this approach all the correlations are
neglected resulting into the following approximation:
$P(h_{i-1}, h_i, h_{i+1},t)= P(h_{i-1},t)P(h_i,t)P(h_{i+1},t)$.
Insertion of this approximation into equation (\ref{one})
yields a closed equation for the one-site probability $P_k(t)$
distribution
\[
\frac{d}{dt}P_k= q(P_{k-1}^3- P_{k}^3)
+(r-2q)(P_k^2P_{k+1}- P_{k-1}^2P_k)
\]
\begin{equation}
+(2r-q)(P_kP_{k+1}^2-P_{k-1}P_k^2) + p(P_{k+1}^3- \gamma_k P_{k}^3),
\end{equation}
valid for the specific model defined by the rates (\ref{sm}),
where we are using the integer variable $k$ in the place of the height
$h$ and initially $P_0=1$ and $P_k=0$ for $k\neq0$
because we are considering a initial flat surface.
The variable $\gamma_k=0$ when $k=0$ and $\gamma_k=1$ otherwise.
The equation is valid for $k>0$ and for $k=0$ provided
we set $P_{-1}=0$ on the right-hand side.

Let us first look for a possible stationary state, that is,
a time-independent solution, that correspond to a pinned phase.
If we assume a solution of the form
\begin{equation}
P_k=A\lambda^k,
\label{sol}
\end{equation}
we can check easily by substitution that this is indeed a solution
provided $\lambda$ is the root of the third-order algebraic equation
\begin{equation}
-p\lambda^3+(q-2r)\lambda^2+(2q-r)\lambda+q=0.
\end{equation}
The critical line, shown in Fig. \ref{phase},
is found by letting $\lambda\to 1$ with the result
\begin{equation}
q_c=\frac14(p+3r),
\end{equation}
and the stationary solution occurs for $q<q_c$.
The normalization of $P_k$, given by (\ref{sol}),
gives $A=1-\lambda$ so that
$P_0=1-\lambda$. The mean height ${\bar h}$ and the square of the
interface width $w^2$ are determined as the average
and the variance
of the distribution given by (\ref{sol}), that is
\begin{equation}
{\bar h} = \langle k \rangle
\qquad{\rm and}\qquad
w^2 = \langle k^2\rangle -{\bar h}^2,
\label{observ}
\end{equation}
resulting in
${\bar h}=\lambda/(1-\lambda)$
and $w=\sqrt{\lambda}/(1-\lambda)$.
Near the critical line, $\lambda$ approaches 1 as
$1-\lambda = 2(q_c-q)/(r+p)$ from which follows the results
$P_0\sim (q_c-q)$, ${\bar h} \sim (q_c-q)^{-1}$ and
$w\sim (q_c-q)^{-1}$.

\begin{figure}
\centering
\epsfig{file=0phase.eps,width=8cm}
\caption{Phase diagram for $r=1$ in the $p-q$ plane.
The critical lines, separating the moving (M) and pinned (P) phases,
were determined by simple mean-field (SMF), pair mean-field (PMF)
approximation and numerical simulations (S).}
\label{phase}
\end{figure}

We solve the equation for $q\geq q_c$
by a method similar to that of
Ginelli and Hinrichsen \cite{gine04} in which
a continuous version of the equation is used.
Writing $h=k$, the equation for the probability distribution
$P(h,t)$ becomes, up to second order,
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial P}{\partial t} =
-a P^2 \frac{\partial P}{\partial h}
+ b \left[ P\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial h}\right)^2
+ \frac12 P^2\frac{\partial^2 P}{\partial h^2} \right],
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
a = 12 (q- q_c),
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
b = 2q+r+3p.
\end{equation}

At the critical line, $q=q_c$, the coefficient $a$ vanishes
and we end up with the equation
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial P}{\partial t} =
b \left[ P\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial h}\right)^2 +
\frac12 P^2\frac{\partial^2 P}{\partial h^2} \right],
\end{equation}
which can be solved by assuming the scaling form
(\ref{scal}) for $P(h,t)$.
A consistency is achieved only
if we choose the growth exponent as being $\gamma=1/4$.
Along the critical line, the simple mean-field approximation
is then compatible with an EW behavior.
The substitution of the scaling form
into the equation leads to the following equation for
the scaling function $f(x)$
\begin{equation}
f(x) + xf^\prime(x) + 4bf(x) [f^\prime(x)]^2
+ 2b[f(x)]^2 f^{\prime\prime}(x) = 0,
\end{equation}
whose solution is
\begin{equation}
f(x) = \sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{2b}}.
\end{equation}
The asymptotic probability distribution, valid for large times,
can then be written as
\begin{equation}
P(h,t) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{t^{1/2}}-\frac{h^2}{2bt}}.
\end{equation}

For $q>q_c$ it suffices to consider only the linear term in $b$.
The equation for $P(h,t)$ reads
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial P}{\partial t} =
- a P^2 \frac{\partial P}{\partial h},
\end{equation}
where now $a$ is strictly positive.
This equation can be solved by assuming again a scaling relation
of the form (\ref{scal}). Now, however, the consistency requires
an exponent $\gamma=1/3$ so that the simple mean-field
approximation is then compatible with a KPZ behavior.
The substitution gives the following equation for the scaling
function
\begin{equation}
f(x)+xf^\prime(x) = 3a[f(x)]^2 f^\prime(x),
\end{equation}
whose solution is
\begin{equation}
f(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x}{a}}.
\end{equation}

The asymptotic probability distribution,
valid for large time, can then be written as
\begin{equation}
P(h,t) = \sqrt{\frac{h}{at}}.
\end{equation}
We remark that $P(h,t)$ vanishes for values of $h$
larger than a certain $h_{\rm max}$ which depends on time.
This maximum value of $h$ is determined by the normalization
of $P(h,t)$ and is given by $h_{\rm max}=(9at/4)^{1/3}$.
This allows us to determine
${\bar h} = 3 h_{\rm max}/5$ and
$w = (12/175)^{1/2}h_{\rm max}$ so that
\begin{equation}
{\bar h} \sim w \sim  (q-q_c)^{1/3} t^{1/3}.
\end{equation}

Within the simple mean-field approximation we were able
to observe a roughening transition occurring at the
transition line shown in Fig. \ref{phase}. Nevertheless,
this approximation is not able to predict a moving
surface with a constant velocity. This deficiency
will be overcome in the next section
by means of the pair mean-field approximation.

\section{Pair mean-field approximation}

In the pair mean-field approach we solve the equation (\ref{two})
by using the approximation for the three-site probability distribution
\begin{equation}
P(h_1,h_2,h_3,t)=
\frac{P(h_1,h_2,t)P(h_2,h_3,t)}{P(h_2,t)},
\end{equation}
where $P(h_1,h_2,t)$ and $P(h_2,t)$ are the two-site and one-site
probability distribution. These two quantities are related by
\begin{equation}
P(h_2,t)=\sum_{h_1}P(h_1,h_2,t)=\sum_{h_3}P(h_2,h_3,t).
\end{equation}

Due to the RSOS condition there are actually three
types of two-site probabilities:
$P_{k,k}(t)$,
$P_{k,k-1}(t)$ and
$P_{k,k+1}(t)$,
where as before we are using the integer variable $k$ in the place of
the height $h$. Together with
the one-site probability $P_k$ they form a set of four variables.
However they are not all independent since $P_{k+1,k}=P_{k,k+1}$
and
\begin{equation}
P_k= P_{k,k}+P_{k,k-1}+P_{k,k+1}.
\end{equation}
Therefore we are left with two independent variable, for
each $k$, which we choose to be $P_{k,k}$ and $P_{k,k+1}$.
Initially we have $P_{k,k+1}= 0$ for all $k$ and
$P_{k,k}=0$ for $k\neq 0$ and $P_{0,0}=1$.

\begin{figure}
\smallskip
\centering
\epsfig{file=0op.eps,width=8cm}
\caption{Order parameter $P_0$ as a function of $q$ for $p=0.5$ obtained
from simple mean-field (SMF), pair mean-field (PMF) approximation
and numerical simulations (S) performed with 2048 sites and
100 independent realizations.
The critical values are $q_c=0.875$ for SMF, $q_c=0.8539$
for PMF and $q_c=0.8346(1)$ for the simulations.}
\label{fop}
\end{figure}

To simplify notation,
we denote $P_{k,k+1}$ by $y_k$ and $P_{k,k}$ by $x_k$ so that
\begin{equation}
P_k = x_k + y_k + y_{k-1}.
\label{red}
\end{equation}
The pair mean-field equations for $x_k$ and $y_k$,
corresponding to the model defined by (\ref{sm}), then reads
\[
\frac{d}{dt}x_k
= 2q\biggl[\frac{y_{k-1}(y_{k-1}+x_{k-1})}{P_{k-1}}
-\frac{x_k(x_k+y_k)}{P_k}\biggr]
\]
\begin{equation}
+2r\biggl[\frac{y_k(y_k+x_{k+1})}{P_{k+1}}
-\frac{x_ky_{k-1}}{P_k}\biggr]-2p\frac{x_k^2}{P_k}\gamma_k,
\label{xk}
\end{equation}
where we should set $x_{-1}=y_{-1}=0$ when $k=0$,
and
\begin{equation}
\frac{d}{dt}y_k= q \frac{x_k^2-y_k^2}{P_k}
- r\,\frac{y_k^2}{P_{k+1}}
+ p\,\frac{x_{k+1}^2}{P_{k+1}}.
\label{yk}
\end{equation}
The numerical integration of the coupled equations (\ref{xk}) and
(\ref{yk}), performed by repeated iteration from the initial condition
$x_k= 0$ for $k\neq 0$, $x_0 = 1$
and $y_k= 0$ for all $k$,
allows us to determine the one-site probability distribution
(\ref{red}). From the obtained distribution we get
the mean height and the interface width by the use
of Eqs. (\ref{observ}) and the interface velocity
by derivating numerically the mean height with respect to time.

The transition line is shown in Fig. \ref{phase}.
For comparison we also show the transition line
obtained from numerical simulation.
Below the transition line, in the pinned phase, the density of
sites $P_0$ in contact with the substrate is found to behave as
\begin{equation}
P_0 \sim (q_c-q),
\end{equation}
so that the exponent $\beta=1$, the same value found
in the one-site mean-field approximation.
The width of the interface diverges at the critical line as
\begin{equation}
w \sim (q_c-q)^{-1/3},
\label{umtres}
\end{equation}
yielding an exponent $\zeta=1/3$.

As an example, we show in Figs. \ref{fop} and \ref{fw},
respectively, the order parameter $P_0$ and the width $w$
as functions of the deposition rate $q$, at $p=0.5$.
We see that $P_0$ is linear near the transition point
and that $w^{-3}$ is linear supporting the behavior (\ref{umtres}).

\begin{figure}
\centering
\epsfig{file=0w.eps,width=8cm}
\caption{Interface width $w$ as a function of $q$ for
$p=0.5$ obtained from pair mean-field (PMF) approximation

and 100 independent realization.
The critical values are $q_c=0.8539$ and $q_c=0.8346(1)$,
respectively.}
\label{fw}
\end{figure}

Above and at the transition line,
the numerical integration gives
a time dependent probability distribution $P_k(t)$
from which we calculate the average height and the
width of the interface.
Along the transition line we found that
\begin{equation}
w \sim t^{1/4}, \qquad\qquad q=q_c,
\label{50}
\end{equation}
and above it
\begin{equation}
w \sim t^{1/3}, \qquad\qquad q>q_c.
\label{51}
\end{equation}
In Figs. \ref{few} and \ref{fkpz}
we show a data collapse of $P_k(t)$
by using the scaling form (\ref{scal})
at the critical point ($p=1$ and $q=1$) and above the critical point,
inside the moving phase ($p=1$ and $q=2$).
In the former case we have used $\gamma=1/4$
and in the latter, $\gamma=1/3$.
The good data collapse leads us to the results
(\ref{50}) and (\ref{51}).

\begin{figure}
\centering
\epsfig{file=few.eps,width=8cm}
\caption{Scaling function $f= P(h,t)\,t^{1/4}$ versus

The function $f(x)$ extrapolates to zero when $x\to 0$.}

\end{figure}

The velocity is found to be $v=0.112$.}
\label{fkpz}
\end{figure}

The asymptotic results for the width of the interface
are the same as those found by means of the one-site
mean-field approximation. However, as already mentioned,
the two-site approximation is capable
of describing a moving interface.
We found that, inside the moving phase the mean height increases
with a constant velocity $v$ so that the pair mean-field
approximations predicts correctly a linear growth of
the moving interface.
As we approach the critical line the velocity vanishes
according to
\begin{equation}
v \sim (q-q_c),
\end{equation}
that is, $\theta=1$.

As we have seen, the pair mean-field approximation takes into account
the correlation of two consecutive sites which results in
the exact satisfaction of the RSOS condition
in opposition to the simple mean-field approximation.
Because of that the pair mean-field results are
closer to the simulation ones when compared to the
simple mean-field results. For instance, the transition line
is in general closer to the simulation results
and has the right concavity.

\section{Detailed balance}

When detailed balance is obeyed, it turns out that the
two-site approximation becomes an exact solution.
In this case the stationary probability distribution is of the
form (\ref{pt}) and  the elements of $X_k$  and $Y_k$ of the
transfer matrix $T$ are related to $x_k$ and $y_k$ by
$x_k=X_k P_k/\Lambda$ and $y_k=Y_k\sqrt{P_kP_{k+1}}/\Lambda$,
where $\Lambda$ is the dominant eigenvalue of $T$.
The detailed balance conditions (\ref{db1}), (\ref{db2}) and (\ref{db3})
are then equivalent to the following relations:
\begin{equation}
p=r=1,
\qquad\qquad
q \frac{x_k}{P_k} = \frac{x_{k+1}}{P_{k+1}},
\qquad\qquad
y_k^2 = x_k x_{k+1},
\end{equation}
from which follows the solution
\begin{equation}
\frac{x_k}{P_k} = \frac{1}{\lambda} q^k,
\qquad\qquad
\frac{y_k}{\sqrt{P_k P_{k+1}}} = \frac{1}{\lambda} q^{k+1/2},
\end{equation}
where $\lambda$ is a constant to be found.
That this is indeed a solution of the
pair mean-field equations can be checked by substitution.

Inserting these relations into equation (\ref{red}) we get the
following eigenvalue equation for $\phi_k = \sqrt{P_k}$
\begin{equation}
q^{k-1/2}\, \phi_{k-1}+q^k\, \phi_k +q^{k+1/2}\, \phi_{k+1}
= \lambda\, \phi_k
\label{eigen}
\end{equation}
so that the constant $\lambda$ is identified as the
eigenvalue, actually, the dominant eigenvalue $\Lambda$.
The dominant eigenfunction gives the one-site probability
distribution $P_k=\phi_k^{\,2}$. The eigenvalue equation (\ref{eigen})
was found by Hinrichsen et al. \cite{hinr03} who solved it in the
vicinity of the critical point by using a continuous height
approximation. Their solution gives the following results
in the vicinity of the critical point $q=q_c=1$
\begin{equation}
w \sim (q_c-q)^{-1/3},
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
P(0) \sim (q_c-q).
\end{equation}
These results are the same results found in the previous section
by numerical integration of the two-site pair approximation
equations.

\section{Conclusion}

We have studied a lattice model for surface growth
by means of one-site and two-site mean-field approximations.
Within the simple mean-field approximation,
whose equations were solved exactly,
we were able to observe a roughening transition occurring
with growth exponents equal to 1/4 at the transition line
and 1/3 inside the rough phase.
This simple approximation was not able to predict a moving
surface with a constant velocity. However, this deficiency
was overcome by means of the pair mean-field approximation
which predicts correctly a linear growth of the moving interface.
In general, the pair approximation
gives results that are in better accordance with
numerical simulations.
The critical line is closer to that
given by numerical simulations. The growth exponent is 1/4
at the critical line and 1/3 inside the moving phase.
At $p=1$ this approximations correctly predicts the crossover
from the EW, at $q=1$, to KPZ, for $q > 1$.

The pair mean-field approximations gives also the following results.
As one approaches the critical line from inside the pinned
phase, the order parameter vanishes with an exponent $\beta=1$
and the width of the interface diverges with an
exponent $\zeta=1/3$. If one approaches the line
from the moving phase, the velocity of the interface
vanishes with an exponent $\theta=1$.

The pair mean-field approximation has two important features:
it takes into account the RSOS condition exactly
and reduces to the exact solution when detailed balance is fulfilled.
This last feature indicates that the pair mean-field
is a good approximation for the nonequilibrium case
($p\neq 1$), where exact results are generally not known.
This approximation can also be use to get the properties
and the phase diagram of the general model defined in
Fig. \ref{rate}, with or without a wall.
For growth models that do not respect the RSOS condition,
in principle, the pair approximation can also be used but
the equations will have a more cumbersome form.

I've mentioned how obsessed I am with the Olsen twins before so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Ashley is my first "Why It Worked" feature. Most of the time the girls look more like gypsies or over-accessorized Christmas trees than the uber successful moguls that they are… which is why I chose this photo of her. Although its a few years old, she's rocking a timeless look that will translate for years to come.
The Bangs: Blunt thick bangs are not a look many women over the age of eight can pull off. Ashley's highlight her eyes and facial features and contrast nicely with the rest of her hair pulled back in a ponytail.
The Skirt: A high-waisted white lace skirt is a classic piece that is versatile enough to go with so many things. Love that she took a simple semi-sheer black cami for a bit of an edgy contrast to the girly lace. I'd love to see a button down chambray shirt for a more laid back look or a fun feminine cap-sleeved pastel top.
The Bangle: Often times, big loose bracelets float around on our arms making it distracting and hard to keep in place. A trick I picked up from the Olsen's is to slide the bangle up your arm as far as it goes to keep it in place and show off the bracelet. Move it around until you find a comfortable place, it shouldn't be cutting off your circulation.
The Bag: Another trend I attribute to the Olsen's (and Nicole Richie) is the Balenciaga motorcycle bag. This sea foam color is one of my favorites and the smaller size does not overwhelm her girly look.

JAMAICA - The fishery and aquaculture sector in Jamaica is playing a pivotal role in providing a livelihood for thousands of people across the region.
Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Christopher Tufton with Charge d'Affaires at the European Commission (EC) Delegation to Jamaica, Helen Jenkinson.
Minister of Agriculture, Christopher Tufton said: "We are primarily, as a region, a territory of small artisan fishers."
Dr Tufton was speaking at the launch of the European Union (EU) workshop on fishery and aquaculture standards, at the Knutsford Court Hotel in Kingston.
Dr. Tufton said the workshop was of particular importance, as it provided an opportunity to expand and sustain existing economic activities in the sector.
"Within the region, we have approximately 250,000 residents who are directly linked to the fishery sector. It is my understanding that we have another 1.5 million persons who are indirectly involved. The export value of fishery related products is somewhere in the region of US$1.2 billion," he added.
The Minister explained that the workshop also allowed for greater understanding of the various markets and practices that were available across the region and the world.
"The direction in which international trade is now moving, requires from us not just an understanding of the opportunities that exist in markets across the world, outside of our own territory, but very importantly, it also requires an understanding of the nuances that are involved in penetrating particular countries of the world. And I think it is important from that perspective, that a workshop such as this, is going to generate common understanding among those of us who are involved in our respective territories, in taking advantage of those opportunities that exist within that particular marketplace," he said.
He added that there were major restrictions which the fishery sector would have to contend with in a liberalized market-place, "which we would need or certainly our fishers would need support in overcoming," and as such, commended the EU for supporting this initiative.
"The challenge for us (the sector), is its sustainability, and it is as much a challenge of ensuring that the critical stakeholders who are directly involved, meaning the fishers, have an approach that ensures their economic viability," he said, adding that it was critical that persons in the sector fished in a way and used methods that allowed for sustainability of "our fishery stock."
Dr. Tufton stressed that, "the thrust forward is for us to look at strengthening our research capabilities, invest in knowledge generation, particularly as it relates to our eco-system, and acquire and adopt appropriate technology for the responsible harvesting, processing and packaging of our fishery products."
Charge d'Affaires at the European Commission Delegation to Jamaica, Helen Jenkinson, in her remarks, said a major aim of the workshop is to inform the sector about EU food standards.
"Other specific objectives of this initiative are to facilitate and ensure trade in safe food, and also to ensure that there is fair trade with third countries, and in particular developing countries. In this context, we are trying to promote a harmonized rational approach by the community and national control systems for food safety, in this case fish," she said.
The workshop is a part of the Better Training for Safer Food initiative managed by the Commission Health and Consumers Directorate-General and was held from 10 to 12 June.
