Since ancient times, physicians have questioned whether the mind can affect health. Many anecdotal reports have claimed that patients overcame lifethreatening illnesses by their will to live. But we lacked hard evidence that would explain the relationships between attitudes and disease. Recently scientists have uncovered new data that demonstrate a bidirectional link between the immune and the ...

In this paper, we present a time integration scheme applied to the Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM, [1]) for the computation of electromagnetic fields in the interior of three-dimensional structures. This approach is also known as Arbitrary High-Order Derivative Discontinuous Galerkin (ADER-DG, [2, 3]). By this method, we reach arbitrary high accuracy not only in space but ...

Recent studies investigating the impacts on human internal physiological states of the psychological intervention have revealed close relationship and sensitive interaction between human body and mind. For example, various human secretory immune and endocrine substances, such as immunoglobulin A and cortisol, are temporary enhanced by acute stressful tasks or stressful events in daily life (e.g...

Abstract In this work, we consider the general family of so called ADER $$P_NP_M$$ PNPM schemes for numerical solution hyperbolic partial differential equations with arbitrary high order accuracy in...

In developing an improved understanding of the dynamics of understory plant composition and productivity in Coastal Plaii forest ecosystems, we examined the iniluence of s i te preparat ion and phosphorus fer t i l izat ion on the success ional t rends of shrubs and herbaceous p lants growing on lands of wide ly ranging subsoil texture in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas which are managed for sou...

Many historians have used the placebo effect, alongside remission and self-limiting ailments, as a catch-all explanation for apparent cures in the past, whether at the hands of doctors or saints, but they have rarely exhibited much awareness of its ubiquity and potential scale or considered what behaviour and beliefs promote it. Since the business of historians lies mainly with beliefs and the ...
