In the context of AdS3/CFT2, we address spacetimes with a certain sort of internal infinity as typified by the extreme BTZ black hole. The internal infinity is a null circle lying at the end of the black hole’s infinite throat. We argue that such spacetimes may be described by a product CFT of the form CFTL⊗CFTR, where CFTR is associated with the asymptotically AdS boundary while CFTL is associ...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign fibrous lesion of uncertain pathogenesis which shows distinct histological features. CFT has a broad anatomy distribution, and it was recently described in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissue, intra-cavity and intrinsic viscera. However, so far, there is no report to describe a CFT occurring in bone. We presented an unusual intraosseous CFT in a...

The AdS–conformal field theory correspondence provides information about the strong coupling behavior of some conformal field theories by studying their supergravity ~string! duals @1–4#. In particular, the AdS-CFT duality relates type IIB string theory on AdS33S 3M, where M is either K3 or T, to a certain N5(4,4) supersymmetric twodimensional conformal field theory ~CFT! living on the boundary...

In frames of dS/CFT correspondence suggested by Strominger we calculate holographic conformal anomaly for dual euclidean CFT. The holographic renormalization group method is used for this purpose. It is explicitly demonstrated that two-dimensional and four-dimensional conformal anomalies (or corresponding central charges) have the same form as those obtained in AdS/CFT duality.

In this study, 241 serum samples from individuals exposed to brucellosis were subjected to the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT); the titre was estimated by standard tube agglutination test (STAT), with positive > or = 80 IU/ml. Randomly selected sera (n = 81) were analysed by complement fixation test (CFT): titre > or = 1:4 was considered positive. Of 241 sera subjected to RBPT and STAT, 177 were ...

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...

OBJECTIVES Compassion focused therapy (CFT) was developed to stimulate capacities for soothing and affiliation to self and others as a way to regulate the threat system. This feasibility study aimed to assess the safety, the acceptability, the potential benefits, and associated change processes of using group CFT with people recovering from psychosis. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, open-la...
