Broken Images, Broken Selves—Dissociative Narratives in Clinical Practice

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...

Broken symmetries in scanning tunneling images of carbon nanotubes

Scanning tunneling images of carbon nanotubes frequently show electron distributions that break the local sixfold symmetry of the graphene sheet. We present a theory of these images that relates these anisotropies to the off-diagonal correlations in the single-particle density matrix, and allows one to extract these correlations from the observed images. The theory is applied to images of the l...

Broken Symmetries

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...

Broken Arrows

This paper makes an account of the design and investigations done for the still image watermarking technique used in the 2nd edition of the BOWS challenge. This technique is named “broken arrows” for some reasons given later on, and abbreviated “BA.” This zero-bit algorithm is an implementation of a recent theoretical result by Merhav and Sabbag (2008) with precautions taken with respect to rob...
