Complete O(v^2) corrections to the static interquark potential from SU(3) gauge theory
For the first time, we determine the complete spin- and momentum-dependent
order v^2 corrections to the static interquark potential from simulations of
QCD in the valence quark approximation at inverse lattice spacings of 2-3 GeV.
A new flavor dependent correction to the central potential is found. We report
a 1/r^2 contribution to the long range spin-orbit potential V_1'. The other
spin-dependent potentials turn out to be short ranged and can be well
understood by means of perturbation theory. The momentum-dependent potentials
qualitatively agree with minimal area law expectations. In view of spectrum
calculations, we discuss the matching of the effective nonrelativistic theory
to QCD as well as renormalization of lattice results. In a first survey of the
resulting bottomonia and charmonia spectra we reproduce the experimental levels
within average errors of 12.5 MeV and 22 MeV, respectively.Comment: 54 pages REVTeX with 24 encapsuled ps figure

Paranormal beliefs and individual differences: story seeking without reasoned review
In a sample of 599 participants (60% female, 18-81 years), we tested the hypotheses that cognitive ability and the big-six personality traits suffice to explain the individual-difference component of paranormal beliefs (belief in magic, astrology, esoterism, supernatural beings, and spirituality). Additionally, we measured 14 other potential predictors that were found to correlate with paranormal beliefs in prior research (e.g., ontological confusion). Although cognitive ability and the big-six explained 10% of the variance in individual belief, ontological confusion and causality understanding also were significant predictors in regression analyses. The resulting model, explaining 19 % of variance, consists of ontological confusion, cognitive ability (negative correlation), openness to new experiences, emotionality, conscientiousness (neg. corr.) and causality understanding (neg. corr.). We discuss the findings with reference to two hypothetical factors that drive individuals' acceptance of paranormal beliefs, inclination for story-telling, and tendency to evaluate belief content in terms of reason and conscientious evaluation
