Periods of overall high EEG coherence were found during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique. These periods of high coherence were correlated with the subjective experience of pure consciousness, the simplest state of awareness, during Transcendental Meditation. The author proposes that the state of pure consciousness corresponds to the ground state of central nervous system ...

We prove that every rational angled hyperbolic triangle has transcendental side lengths and that every rational angled hyperbolic quadrilateral has at least one transcendental side length. Thus, there does not exist a rational angled hyperbolic triangle or quadrilateral with algebraic side lengths. We conjecture that there does not exist a rational angled hyperbolic polygon with algebraic side ...

We give combinatorial criteria for predicting the transcendental weight of Feynman integrals of certain graphs in φ theory. By studying spanning forest polynomials, we obtain operations on graphs which are weight-preserving, and a list of subgraphs which induce a drop in the transcendental weight.

The follow-up to the Human Genome Project has found very little to connect variations in our DNA blueprints to some of our basic individual characteristics. This very surprising "missing heritability" problem, plus a number of existing underappreciated challenges to the DNA-based model, together are consistent with an underlying complementary transcendental contribution to life. Some of the beh...

It is known that, for a transcendental entire function f, the Hausdorff dimension of J( f ) satisfies 1% dim J( f )% 2. For each d ` (1, 2), an example of a transcendental entire function f with dim J( f ) ̄ d is given. It is then indicated how this function can be modified to produce a transcendental meromorphic function F with one pole with dim J(F ) ̄ d. These appear to be the first examples o...

The percentage of participants in the Transcendental Meditation programme was found to be a reliable predictor of increased social order, as reflected by a decrease in crime rate, in cities of the Kansas City metropolitan area between 1974 and 1976. It was further found that crime rate began to decrease when numbers practising Transcendental Meditation reached one percent of a city's population...

Let b ≥ 2 be an integer. We prove that the b-ary expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms. In particular, irrational automatic numbers are transcendental. Our main tool is a new, combinatorial transcendence criterion.

Transcendental Brauer elements are notoriously difficult to compute. Work of Wittenberg, and later, Ieronymou, gives a method for computing 2-torsion transcendental classes on surfaces that have a genus 1 fibration with rational 2-torsion in the Jacobian fibration. We use ideas from a descent paper of Poonen and Schaefer to remove this assumption on the rational 2-torsion.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stress reduction via the Transcendental Meditation program on school rule infractions in adolescents. METHODS Forty-five African American adolescents (ages 15-18 years) with high normal systolic blood pressure were randomly assigned to either Transcendental Meditation (n = 25) or health education control (n = 20) groups. The ...
