  2. Shone's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shone's_syndrome

    Shone’s syndrome is a rare disorder that is often detected in very young children. The children tend to show symptoms like fatigue, nocturnal cough, and reduced cardiac output by the age of two years. They also develop wheezing due to the exudation of fluid into the lungs. [1]

  3. Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth:_Why_Complex...

    Rare Earth was succeeded in 2003 by the follow-on book The Life and Death of Planet Earth: How the New Science of Astrobiology Charts the Ultimate Fate of our World, also by Ward and Brownlee, which talks about the Earth's long-term future and eventual demise under a warming and expanding Sun, showing readers the concept that planets like Earth ...

  4. Conformal anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_anomaly

    A conformal anomaly, scale anomaly, trace anomaly or Weyl anomaly is an anomaly, i.e. a quantum phenomenon that breaks the conformal symmetry of the classical theory.. In quantum field theory when we set to zero we have only Feynman tree diagrams, which is a "classical" theory (equivalent to the Fredholm formulation of a classical field theory).

  5. Younger Dryas impact hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact...

    The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) proposes that the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) cool period at the end of the Last Glacial Period, around 12,900 years ago was the result of some kind of cosmic event with specific details varying between publications. [1]:

  6. The Vital Question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vital_Question

    The Vital Question is a book by the English biochemist Nick Lane about the way the evolution and origin of life on Earth was constrained by the provision of energy.. The book was well received by critics; The New York Times, for example, found it "seductive and often convincing" [1] though the reviewer considered much of it speculative beyond the evidence provided.

  7. BRST quantization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRST_quantization

    BRST quantization is a differential geometric approach to performing consistent, anomaly-free perturbative calculations in a non-abelian gauge theory. The analytical form of the BRST "transformation" and its relevance to renormalization and anomaly cancellation were described by Carlo Maria Becchi, Alain Rouet, and Raymond Stora in a series of papers culminating in the 1976 "Renormalization of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-collapse_theory

    A special case of this problem is known as the “counting anomaly”. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Supporters of collapse theories mostly dismiss this criticism as a misunderstanding of the theory, [ 34 ] [ 35 ] as in the context of dynamical collapse theories, the absolute square of the wave function is interpreted as an actual matter density.

    John Gall (September 18, 1925 – December 15, 2014) was an American author, scholar, and pediatrician. [1] [2] Gall is known for his 1975 book General systemantics: an essay on how systems work, and especially how they fail..., a critique of systems theory.
