Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common disorder of the digestive system. Despite the long period of study on the treatment of IBS, only a small number of treatments have proven effective. Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the efficacy of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) in depression, anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms in patients with IBS. Methods: T...

We calculate Wilson loop (quark anti-quark potential) in dS/CFT correspondence. The brane-world model is considered where bulk is two 5d Euclidean de Sitter spaces and boundary (brane) is 4d de Sitter one. Starting from the Nambu-Goto action, the calculation of the effective tension (average energy) is presented. Unlike to the case of supergravity calculation of Wilson loop in AdS/CFT set-up, t...

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the holographic principle and the CFT/FRW relations in the near-horizon AdS 5 × S 5 geometry with a probe D3-brane playing the rôle of the boundary to this space. The motion of the probe D3-brane in the bulk, induces a cosmological evolution on the brane. As the brane crosses the horizon of the bulk black hole, it probes the holography of the dual CFT. ...

The Lorentzian AdS/CFT correspondence implies a map between local operators in supergravity and non-local operators in the CFT. By explicit computation we construct CFT operators which are dual to local bulk fields in the semiclassical limit. The computation is done for general dimension in global, Poincaré and Rindler coordinates. We find that the CFT operators can be taken to have compact sup...

Asymptotically de Sitter dilatonic space-time, holographic RG flow and conformal anomaly from (dilatonic) dS/CFT correspondence ABSTRACT The number of asymptotically de Sitter (non-singular) solutions of 5d dilatonic gravity with positive cosmological constant is found. These solutions are similar to the previously known asymptotically AdS spaces where dilaton may generate the singularity. Usin...

We develop a formalism to calculate the effective action of the strongly coupled conformal field theory (CFT) in curved spacetime. The effective action of the CFT is obtained from AdS/CFT correspondence. The anti de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime has various slicing which give various curved spacetime on its boundary. We show the de Sitter spacetime and the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe can...

We construct an exact metric which at short distances is the metric of massless particles in 5+1 spacetime (moving along a diameter of the sphere) and is AdS3×S at infinity. We also consider a set of a conical defect spacetimes which are locally AdS3 × S3 and have the masses and charges of a special set of chiral primaries of the dual orbifold CFT. We find that excitation energies for a scalar ...

RationaleCalcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm. Although the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most common predilection site of CFT, the clinicians, even including pathologist, generally consider it as GI stromal tumor (GIST) or other submucosal tumors such as schwannoma and leiomyoma. PatientconcernsA 55-year-old man presented with complaints of epig...

Heat loss can affect experimental flammability limits, and it becomes indispensable to quantify flammability limits when apparatus quenching effect becomes significant. In this research, the lower flammability limits of binary hydrocarbon mixtures are predicted using calculated flame temperature (CFT) modeling, which is based on the principle of energy conservation. Specifically, the hydrocarbo...
