This article introduces the special section "New Research Findings on Emotionally Focused Therapy." Emotionally focused couple therapy researchers have a strong tradition of outcome and process research and this special section presents new findings from three recent studies. The first study furthers the goal of determining the kinds of clients for which EFT is effective (Denton, Wittenborn, & ...

We study the phase diagram of dense quark matter with an emphasis on the role of the strange quark mass. Our approach is based on two effective field theories (EFTs). The first is an EFT that describes quark quasi-particles near the Fermi surface. This EFT is valid at energies small compared to the chemical potential. The second is an EFT for the Goldstone modes in the paired phase. We find tha...

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) may present some challenges for systemic and post-systemic therapists. EFT’s focus on the use of emotion in the room is off the map of many solution focused or narrative therapists. Also, its emphasis on attachment theory as the key to change can be a hurdle, especially for therapists unfamiliar with attachment theo...

We show that chiral effective field theory (EFT) two-body currents provide important contributions to the quenching of low-momentum-transfer Gamow-Teller transitions, and use chiral EFT to predict the momentum-transfer dependence that is probed in neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay. We then calculate for the first time the 0νββ decay operator based on chiral EFT currents and study the nuclea...

We discuss the application of an effective field theory (EFT) which incorporates the chiral symmetry of QCD to Compton scattering from the proton and deuteron. We describe the chiral EFT analysis of the γp scattering database presented in our recent review [1], which gives: α E1 = 10.5± 0.5(stat)± 0.8(theory) , β (p) M1 = 2.7± 0.5(stat)± 0.8(theory), for the electric and magnetic dipole polariz...

Based on attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Th erapy (EFT) theorizes that attachment styles infl uence marital quality. Although research supports this relationship among young couples, no research has examined attachment styles and marital quality in midlife marriages. We examined this issue using data from 429 married people between the ages of 40 and 50. Results indicated that insecure a...

Coronary endothelial NO synthase expression and NO bioactivity were investigated at sequential stages during the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Male guinea pigs underwent abdominal aortic banding or sham operation. Left ventricular contractile function was quantified in isolated ejecting hearts. Coronary endothelial and vasodilator function were assessed in isolated isovolumic hea...

Observe that the elements of ftxUf^ have infinite order, while those of ft2Uft3 have finite order. We will prove that whenever A e ft and B e ft do not both have a fixed point on L, then the group (A,B') is the discrete free product (A)*(B'), where B' denotes the transpose of B. The case where both A and B have a fixed point on L is also discussed. We show in addition that if A eft and Beft are...

We consider an effective field theory of unstable particles (resonances) using the complex-mass renormalization. As an application we calculate the masses and the widths of the ρ meson and the Roper resonance.

Nowadays computers successfully analyze medical data giving results used for futher treatment. Every year we develop new technology which gives us better and more precise diagnose. We chose esophageal manometry (EFT) which has been considered as a “gold standard” test for the evaluation of esophageal motility. EFT allows physicians to get informations about esophageal peristalsis, amplitude and...
