Effective Nonvanishing of Canonical Hecke L-functions

Motivated by work of Gross, Rohrlich, and more recently Kim, Masri, and Yang, we investigate the nonvanishing of central values of L-functions of “canonical” weight 2k−1 Hecke characters for Q( √ −p), where 3 < p ≡ 3 (mod 4) is prime. Using the work of Rodriguez-Villegas and Zagier, we show that there are nonvanishing central values provided that p ≥ 6.5(k−1) and (−1) ( 2 p ) = 1. Moreover, we ...

Keys to Effective Virtual Global Teams

possible that the organization's staffing process may produce a workforce whose values, beliefs, and expectations differ from those of the surrounding community. In addition, political upheaval in various countries (e.g., Poland, Russia) may make it difficult to get an accurate or stable assessment of a given national culture. A facility-by-facility cultural audit may be the most effective cour...

Cost-effective priorities for global mammal conservation.

Global biodiversity priority setting underpins the strategic allocation of conservation funds. In identifying the first comprehensive set of global priority areas for mammals, Ceballos et al. [Ceballos G, Ehrlich PR, Soberón J, Salazar I, Fay JP (2005) Science 309:603-607] found much potential for conflict between conservation and agricultural human activity. This is not surprising because, lik...

Effective global response to emerging infectious diseases.

To discuss the global efforts needed to detect and control emerging infections, I will begin with a personal experience. In 1987, a large epidemic of meningococcal meningitis occurred during the haj, the annual pilgrimage of Moslems to Mecca. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent a team of epidemiologists and laboratorians to Kennedy Airport to meet the thousands of pilgrims...
