Concern has been expressed by Commissioners such as Günter Verheugen in regards to overlap of mandates and fractionalisation of the Commission's Directorates-General, leading to "turf-wars" and a lack of co-ordination.

The proliferation of news sources has resulted in the fractionalization of news dissemination.

"Secondly, there's a fractionalization of sports-television audience," Tagliabue said.

The experiments revealed evidence for spin-state fractionalization, a predicted property of quantum spin-liquid type states.

"Heaven knows," he added, in an era of "fractionalization and remote controls, television can use all the help it can get" in that regard.

This hefty volume, going beyond the sordid details, provides helpful context for the larger story, the fractionalization of American politics that defined the Clinton years.

Its one-dimensional version is considered an archetype of the strong-correlations problem and displays many dramatic manifestations such as quasi-particle fractionalization.

In physics, fractionalization is the phenomenon whereby the quasiparticles of a system cannot be constructed as combinations of its elementary constituents.

Fractionalization can be understood as deconfinement of quasiparticles that together are viewed as comprising the elementary constituents.

Easterly and Levine have proposed an ethno-linguistic fractionalization index defined as , where is size of group as a percentage of total population.

Nonetheless, Mauro points out that ethno-linguistic fractionalization is positively correlated with corruption, which in turn is negatively correlated with economic growth.

The elementary constituents of spin ice are magnetic dipoles, so the emergence of monopoles is an example of the phenomenon of fractionalization.

It is an example of fractionalization, the phenomenon in which the quantum numbers of the quasiparticles are not multiples of those of the elementary particles, but fractions.

Due to its two-dimensional property, charge fractionalization (where the apparent charge of individual pseudoparticles in low-dimensional systems is less than a single quantum) is thought to occur in graphene.

Fractionalization was the trend in politics, from the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia to the secessionist movement in Quebec to the rising ethnocentrism in the United States.

In addition, empirical research in the U.S., at the municipal level, has revealed that ethnic fractionalization (based on race) may be correlated with poor fiscal management and lower investments in public goods.

Finally, more recent research would propose that ethno-linguistic fractionalization is indeed negatively correlated with economic growth while more polarized societies exhibit greater public consumption, lower levels of investment and more frequent civil wars.

"Because of fractionalization, programs that are at the highest level are more valuable in a down market than they were in an up market, even when they are performing less well in absolute terms."
