What is "cancellations"

Usage examples of "cancellations".

Delicate cancellations require precise calculations because even small errors have a profound impact on accuracy.

The remarkable thing, as originally worked out in the 1970s, is that there can be energy cancellations between these quantum jitters and the more intuitive kind of string vibrations discussed above and illustrated in Figures 6.

As an important example, Scherk and Schwarz found that for the vibrational pattern whose properties make it a candidate for the graviton messenger particle, the energy cancellations are perfect, resulting in a zero-mass gravitational-force particle.

In string theory, where the currency is energy as opposed to money, approximate calculations have conclusively shown that analogous energy cancellations certainly can occur, but for reasons that will become increasingly clear in subsequent chapters, verifying the cancellations to such a high level of precision is generally beyond our theoretical ken at present.

An essential point, however, is that the high string tension ensures that all but a few of these vibrational patterns will correspond to extremely heavy particles (the few being the lowest-energy vibrations that have near-perfect cancellations with quantum string jitters).

Since supersymmetry ensures that bosons and fermions occur in pairs, substantial cancellations occur from the outset—cancellations that significantly calm some of the frenzied quantum effects.

The theory depends for its existence upon magical coincidences, miraculous cancellations and relations among seemingly unrelated (and possibly undiscovered) fields of mathematics.

Recall from Chapter 6—and the Price is Right example—that the "natural" energy scale of string theory is the Planck energy, and it is only through extremely delicate cancellations that string theory yields vibrational patterns with masses in the vicinity of those of the known matter and force particles.

I've had quite a few cancellations, mostly new patients or first interviews.

I don't know but what Howe might go through the roof and insist on immediate cancellations or blow my chances some way.

If the cancellations are made through the Purchasing Department, whoever does it will be in jeopardy.

It is easy to track every single radio station that has ever canceled a conservative talk show host because those cancellations will be played up as evidence of a national trend.

Graphic cancellations, and the grains of the rubber shading the air, brushed and nudged by the hovering pinkie.

No refunds will be made for cancellations, exchange rate movements, or cost adjustments that would otherwise decrease the holiday price.
