Résumé thinking, therefore, demonstrates that there is no logically coherent basis for the invention/ convention distinction that is all too often used to support the traditional belief that a musicologist’s sole task is merely the second-level analytical interpretation of musical compositions already so inventively brought into being by artists. This is an attitude that neatly excludes musicol...

A transcendental number is one that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having integer coefficients. It immediately follows that no rational number q is transcendental, since q can be written as a/b where a and b are integers, and thus q is a root of bx − a. Furthermore, the transcendentals are a proper subset of the irrationals, since for example the irrational √ 2 is a root of x − 2. T...

α is algebraic if there exists p ∈ Z[x], p 6= 0 with p(α) = 0, otherwise α is called transcendental . Cantor: Algebraic numbers are countable, so transcendental numbers exist, and are a measure 1 set in [0, 1], but it is hard to prove transcendence for any particular number. Examples of (proported) transcendental numbers: e, π, γ, e, √ 2 √ 2 , ζ(3), ζ(5) . . . Know: e, π, e, √ 2 √ 2 are transce...

Longitudinal reductions in biological age were observed in participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme. Over an eighteen-month period, average biological age decreased from 7.5 years younger than chronological age to 10.6 years younger. Duration of practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme was correlated with the degree to which both biological an...

transcendental is such a significant term in kant's thoughts that he calls his philosophy transcendental idealism. however, this term isn't used with the same meaning in his philosophy. since the term is associated with the same meaning in the works about kant, it seems necessary to clarify its meaning in order to prevent any misunderstanding. the subject of this paper is to clarify t...

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...

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.

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.
