Research Activities #228, July/August 1999

Research studies suggest that a smaller proportion of women with angina (crushing chest pain) have coronary artery disease (CAD) than men with angina. This may have contributed to the perception that chest pain is less serious in women. However, CAD risk is raised in certain women with angina. This is particularly true for women who have a poor cardiovascular risk profile and more physical symp...

Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, as Russia prepares for Parliamentary and Presidential elections, there are alarming signals that the Kremlin is cracking down on privately owned news outlets who have been critical of government policies. In particular, I understand that the independent and highly regarded television station, NTV, has been pressured by officials who are displeased with its news coverag...

06 5 v 2 1 4 A ug 1 99 9 July 1999 Strong Coupling Limit of N = 2 SCFT Free Energy and Higher Derivative AdS / CFT Correspondence

We study the role of higher derivative terms (Riemann curvature squared ones) in thermodynamics of SCFTs via AdS/CFT correspondence. Using IIB string effective action (d5 AdS gravity) with such HD terms deduced from heterotic string via duality we calculate strong coupling limit of N = 2 SCFT free energy with the account of next to leading term in large N expansion. It is compared with perturba...
