DeWitt wave functions for de Sitter JT gravity by Wilfried Buchmüller, Arthur Hebecker, Alexander Westphal

“…According to a conjecture by DeWitt, solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation should vanish at singular loci. Recently, the behaviour of JT wave functions at large field values h, ϕ has been obtained by means of a path integral over Schwarzian degrees of freedom of a boundary curve. …”

Congestive heart failure and cognitive functioning amongst older adults by Almeida Osvaldo P., Tamai Sérgio

“…CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that CHF is associated with significant levels of cognitive impairment and show that mental performance is, at least partly, a consequence of EF. Physicians should be prepared to assess the mental state of patients, as poor cognitive functioning may interfere with treatment compliance and management plan.…”
