The conformal factor of the spacetime metric becomes dynamical due to the trace anomaly of matter fields. Its dynamics is described by an effective action which we quantize by canonical methods on the Einstein universeR×S3. We find an infinite tower of discrete states which satisfy the constraints of quantum diffeomorphism invariance. These physical states are in one-to-one correspondence with ...

The classic modifiable risk factors for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), derived from the Framingham Heart Study and other long-term epidemiological studies, are increased blood pressure, elevated plasma cholesterol, and cigarette smoking. However, evidence has been accumulating for many years suggesting that physical inactivity or the lack of exercise is also a potent force in ...
