Construal Level Theory (CLT) [1] defines psychological distance as any object, event, or person that cannot be experienced by the self in the here and now. The goal of the present research was to demonstrate that feelings of uncertainty are closely linked to the concept of psychological distance. Two experiments tested the assumption that spatial distance and uncertainty are bidirectionally rel...

We discuss the operator product expansion (OPE) in the string theory on AdS3. In particular, we discuss the OPE among the primary fields in the spectrum recently proposed for the SL(2, R) WZW model, which describes the strings on the Lorentzian AdS3. For this purpose, we calculate the correlation functions of the primary fields with definite SL2 weights. Using these correlation functions, we st...

We describe classical solutions to the Minkowski space equations of motion of SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a Higgs field in the spatial spherical ansatz. We show how to reduce the equations to four equations for four gauge invariant degrees of freedom which correspond to the massive gauge bosons and the Higgs particle. The solutions typically dissipate at very early and late times. To describe...

We study trapped 2D atomic Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-independent interactions in the presence of an isotropic spin-orbit coupling, showing that a rich physics results from the nontrivial interplay between spin-orbit coupling, confinement and interatomic interactions. For low interactions two types of half-vortex solutions with different winding occur, whereas strong-enough repulsive i...

Medicinal plants are being used worldwide for centuries their beneficial properties. Some of the most popular medicinal belong to Melissa genus, and different health effects have already been identified this genus. Among these species, in particular, officinalis L. has reported as having many biological activities, such antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumour, antiviral, antiallergic, anti-infla...

We prove that the length a braid, in the sense of Garside, is equal to a winding-number type invariant of the curve diagram of the braid.
