With the emergence of business to business eCommerce conventional trading practices need to be adapted to the new electronic environment. One such trading practice is the call for tender (CFT) which is heavily used for trading perishable goods. A naive translation of the CFT to mediated eCommerce introduces new manipulation possibilities like identity masquerading, repudiation of messages etc. ...

Two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) has several sources: the search for simple examples of quantum field theory, the description of surface critical phenomena, the study of (super)string vacua. In the present overview of the subject we emphasize the role of CFT in bridging the gap between mathematics and quantum field theory and discuss some new physical concepts that emerged in the st...

The AdS/CFT correspondence is established for the case of AdS 3 space compactified on a filled rectangular torus with the CFT field on the boundary.

the aim pf the present study was to compare three different methods for detection of food and mouth disease virus antigens(a, asia1, o1)from mouth epithelium samples and also to monitore the distribution of fmdv serotypes 338 cattle and 34 sheep of iran during 2000-2001. the suspension fluids of processed tongue epithelium samples were clarified by centrifugation and tested for presence of fmdv...

UNLABELLED No studies have yet evaluated jointly central foveal thickness (CFT) and the presence of intraretinal fluid (PIF) to diagnose diabetic macular oedema (DMO) using optic coherence tomography (OCT). We performed a cross-sectional observational study to validate OCT for the diagnosis of DMO using both CFT and PIF assessed by OCT (3D OCT-1 Maestro). A sample of 277 eyes from primary care ...

What does the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (CFT) measure in criminal offenders? This study examined neuropsychological and personality test correlates of performance on the Complex Figure Test in a sample of 110 incarcerated criminal offenders. Three standard CFT scores-copy accuracy, memory recall accuracy, and organizational quality-did not discriminate between violent and nonviolent of...

We describe a new class of boundary conditions for AdSd+1 under which the boundary metric becomes a dynamical field. The key technical point is to show that contributions from boundary counter-terms in the bulk gravitational action render such fluctuations normalizable. In the context of AdS/CFT, the analogue of Neumann boundary conditions for AdS promotes the CFT metric to a dynamical field bu...

We discuss several aspects of the proposed correspondence between quantum gravity on de Sitter spaces and Euclidean conformal field theories. The central charge appearing in the asymptotic symmetry algebra of three-dimensional de Sitter space is derived both from the conformal anomaly and the transformation law of the CFT stress tensor when going from dS3 in planar coordinates to dS3 with cosmo...

Using results of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach and conformal perturbation theory we argue that the φ1,3-perturbation of a unitary minimal (1 + 1)-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) in the D-series of modular invariant partition functions induces a renormalization group (RG) flow to the next-lower model in the D-series. An exception is the first model in the series, the 3-state P...
