The Transcendental Meditation program was examined as a possible solution to the difficult problem of inmate rehabilitation. Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered to prisoners at the Federal Correctional Institution at Lompoc, California, twice before and twice after they learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. At the final testing they were also administered a S...

BACKGROUND Prior clinical trials suggest that the Transcendental Meditation technique may decrease blood pressure of normotensive and hypertensive individuals but study-quality issues have been raised. This study was designed to assess effects of Transcendental Meditation on blood pressure using objective quality assessments and meta-analyses. METHODS PubMed and Cochrane databases through Dec...

We establish that several classical context-free languages are inherently ambiguous by proving that their counting generating functions, when considered as analytic functions, exhibit some characteristic form of transcendental behaviour. To that purpose, we survey some general results on elementary analytic properties and enumerative uses of algebraic functions in relation to formal languages. ...

In this paper we show that there is a correspondence between some K3 surfaces with non-isometric transcendental lattices constructed as a twist of the transcendental lattice of the Jacobian of a generic genus 2 curve. Moreover, we show the existence of a correspondence between a general K3 surface with ρ = 17 and a Kummer surface having transcendental lattices Q-Hodge isomorphic.

Perhaps a challenging concept to define, altering your state of mind, improving your outlook, changing interpretations, reaching a transcendental state, feeling euphoric, or getting blazed, buzzed, baked, or high ? tripping, rolling, or railing ? one way or another, is a concept that has existed throughout history in cultures all over the world. Today it's often associated with ingesting a subs...

We study bootstrap percolation with the threshold parameter θ ≥ 2 and the initial probability p on infinite periodic trees that are defined as follows. Each node of a tree has degree selected from a finite predefined set of non-negative integers, and starting from a given node, called root, all nodes at the same graph distance from the root have the same degree. We show the existence of the cri...

Transcendental numbers play an important role in many areas of science. This paper contains a short survey on transcendental numbers and some relations among them. New inequalities for transcendental numbers are stated in Section 2 and proved in Section 4. Also, in relationship with these topics, we study the exponential function axioms related to the Yang-Baxter equation.

In this paper I pursue the question whether transcendental explanation in Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre should be regarded as ontologically committed. It is natural to assume that transcendental explanation in the Wissenschaftslehre should be construed non-ontologically: Schulze's criticisms of Kantian philosophy and Jacobi's objection to philosophical justification supply Fichte with motives for...
