Justification for this derives a comparative study descriptions “subtle body” ancient esoteric traditions, testable speculations about altered states consciousness correlated with subtle dyna...

The adjustment method of the fast active reflector “Chinese heavenly eye” is studied. Firstly, this paper studies offset characteristics main cable node position, combined with position celestial body to be measured, follow-up coordinate system established, and optimal fitting model based on discrete established by using idea ideal surface. Secondly, genetic algorithm used solve minimum root me...

In particular we focus on the correspondence between the infinite hierarchy in the ground ring structure of BRST operators and its associated Boyer-Plebański construction of infinite conserved quantities in self-dual ...
