Within the framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics the free energy of a phase gives a measure of its associated probabilistic weight. In order to determine phase boundaries one must then determine the conditions under which the free energy difference (FED) between two phases is zero. The underlying complexity usually rules out any analytical approaches to the problem, and one must theref...

F/W e+e- INTERACTIONS*

INTRODUCTION The field of e+e-interactions has provided a great deal of excitement in the past few years. 1-9 Primarily, interest has centered around the reaction +-ee-hadrons. This reaction is particularly attractive because we believe in electromagnetic perturbation theory, which implies that the cross section for hadron production is dominated by one photon annihilation of the electron and p...

Electroweak corrections to e + e − → f ¯ fH †

Some of the most interesting Higgs-production processes at future ee colliders are of the type ee → f f̄H. We present a calculation of the complete O(α) corrections to these processes in the Standard Model for final-state neutrinos and top quarks. Initial-state radiation beyond O(α) at the leading-logarithmic level as well as QCD corrections are also included. The electroweak corrections turn ou...

Behavioral therapy techniques for treating phobias often includes graded exposure of the patient to anxiety-producing stimuli (Systematic Desensitization). However, in utilizing systematic desensitization, research reviews demonstrate that many patients appear to have difficulty in applying imaginative techniques. This chapter describes the Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT), a new therapeutical app...
