Agenda: Broken Corrections

Broken heart: Broken mind.

The increased frequency of sudden cardiac death after earthquakes and bombings has long proposed that emotional distress plays a role in acute coronary syndromes and arrhythmias. Since the 1960s, several controlled, prospective, epidemiological studies have reported emotional distress as a major risk factor for the onset and worsening of coronary heart disease (CHD) [1]. The Interheart study, a...

Non - universal corrections to the tension ratios in softly broken N = 2 SU ( N ) gauge theory

Calculation by Douglas and Shenker of the tension ratios for vortices of different N -alities in the softly broken N = 2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, is carried to the second order in the adjoint multiplet mass m. Corrections to the ratios violating the well-known sine formula are found, showing that it is not a universal quantity. 1. Recently the tension ratios among the confining v...

have large errors, are in complete agreement with the physical-region plots obtained by other authors" as well as our own I Fig. 7(a)j. The results given here support the general validity of the Chew-Low technique. They illustrate the strong statistical requirements to which a meaningful application of this technique is subjected; they also show that pole effects seen in the physical region are...
