Turning to Karl Jaspers’s 1937 lectures, later published as Philosophy of Existence, this paper examines what might be meant by the colloquial expression “spiritual but not religious”. In doing so, it is argued that while critique organized religion mostly hits mark, critiques religion—as represented here Existenzphilosophie—fail undermine a form genuine spirituality grounded in faith revealed ...

We discover new vacuum solutions of the JIMWLK equation, which correspond to center of a gauge group. We improve the CGC model by an explicit usage of a density matrix. Studying scattering of CGC states in an external color field, we observe that an amplitude is naturally expressed via group characters. We construct an example that shows how new thin effects may be potentially observed in perip...

Abstract: We consider nonparametric Bayesian estimation of a probability density p based on a random sample of size n from this density using a hierarchical prior. The prior consists, for instance, of prior weights on the regularity of the unknown density combined with priors that are appropriate given that the density has this regularity. More generally, the hierarchy consists of prior weights...

BACKGROUND Little is known regarding the extent to which physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) influence bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in females across the lifespan. METHODS Data from 2232 females aged 12 years and older collected as part of the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Categories of PA and SB were used...

Solid-state density functional theory can be used for crystal structure determination from powder X-ray diffraction data of molecular crystals that are too large and complex for conventional refinement methods.

Quantum defect theory is applied to (time-dependent) density-functional calculations of Rydberg series for closed shell atoms: He, Be, and Ne. The performance and behavior of such calculations are much better quantified and understood in terms of the quantum defect rather than transition energies.
