This case study evaluated the effects of implementing the Transcendental Meditation Programme among the police forces of three states of Brazil. After positive results among the police were reported by leaders in Goias state, police forces in other states began the programme. Results among police trainees in Piauf state who learned the Transcendental Meditation Programme included a high percent...

We show that the Hodge conjecture is false in general for products of surfaces. We construct a K3 surface whose transcendental lattice has a self-isomorphism which is not a linear combination of self-isomorphisms which preserve cup products over Q up to nonzero multiples. We then find another surface mapping into it in which the transcendental lattice is generated by H 1 cup products according ...

Causal analysis using cross-lagged panel correlation was performed to assess whether the relationship between Transcendental Meditation (TM) program participation and decreased crime rate in urban areas is causal. One study involved a random sample of 160 U.S. cities measured from 1964 to 1978; the second study used a random sample of 80 metropolitan areas. Results of both studies suggest that ...

The daily number of individuals practising the group dynamics of consciousness-group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme-in Great Britain was compared with daily fluctuations in the Financial Times Actuaries 'All Share' (FTA) Index. The FTA Index is a measure of the current market capitalizations of the 750 largest companies in Great Britain, and may be seen as an i...

This paper deals with semihyperbolic semigroups which are generated by entire (possibly transcendental) functions. In particular, a criterion is given assuring that a given entire semigroup is semihyperbolic. Note that a semihyperbolic semigroup G admit holomorphic scaling, that is to say, the branches of local inverses of functions f 2 G are of bounded degree and that the preimages shrink to z...
