When four plus four is less than eight: the Nuss operation.
In the course of the operation one or more (up to three) 2 Â 12 00 metal bars are driven through both pleural cavities and the mediastinum in front of the heart and may be left there for years. It is labeled as a 'Minimally invasive technique for the correction of pectus excavatum' [1]. The article, 'Can absorbable stabilizers be used routinely in the Nuss procedure?', by Pilegaard and Licht pu...
متن کاملWhen economic growth is less than exponential
This paper argues that growth theory needs a more general notion of “regularity” than that of exponential growth. We suggest that paths along which the rate of decline of the growth rate is proportional to the growth rate itself deserve attention. This opens up for considering a richer set of parameter combinations than in standard growth models. Moreover, it avoids the usual oversimplistic dic...
متن کاملOn Type II Superstrings in Less Than Four Dimensions
We study gauge theories which are associated with classical vacua of perturbative Type II string theory that allows for a conformal field theory description. We show that even if we compactify seven spatial dimensions (allowing for one macroscopic dimension to arise non-perturbatively) the Standard Model cannot be obtained from the perturbative sector of Type II superstrings. Therefore, the con...
متن کاملThe Circular Flow Number of a 6-Edge Connected Graph is Less Than Four
We show that every 6-edge connected graph admits a circulation whose range lies in the interval 1; 3). The circular ow number c (G) of a ((nite) graph G is deened by c (G) = inffr 2 R: some orientation ~ G admits a circulation f : E(~ G) ! 1; r ? 1]g: This parameter is a reenement of the well studied ow number (G) := d c (G)e, which was introduced by Tutte as a dual to the chromatic number. Sin...
متن کاملWhen Two Plus Two Is Not Equal to Four: Errors in Processing Multiple Percentage Changes
When evaluating the net impact of a series of percentage changes, we predict that consumers may employ a “whole number” computational strategy that yields a systematic error in their calculation. We report on three studies conducted to examine this issue. In the first study we identify the computational error and demonstrate its consequences. In a second study, we identify several theoretically...
