We investigate trace functions of modules for vertex operator algebras satisfying C2-cofiniteness. For the modular invariance property, Zhu assumed two conditions in [Zh]: A(V ) is semisimple and C2-cofiniteness. We show that C2cofiniteness is enough to prove a modular invariance property. For example, if a VOA V = ⊕m=0Vm is C2-cofinite, then the space spanned by generalized characters (pseudo-...

BACKGROUND Despite long-standing guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that call for avoiding elective births prior to 39 weeks of gestation, elective deliveries make up almost one-third of US births occurring in weeks 36-38. Poor outcomes are more likely for infants born electively before 39 weeks than for those born at 39 weeks. The Perinatal Quality Collabor...

is biholomorphic equivalent to the Satake compactification of H2/Γ′ for a certain subgroup Γ′ ⊂ Sp(2, Z). This variety has 96 singularities which correspond to certain zero-dimensional cusps and these singularities are ordinary double points (nodes). In the paper [CM] it has been pointed out that the results of [GN] imply that a (projective) small resolution of this variety is a rigid Calabi-Ya...

Recreational diving on coral reefs is an activity that has experienced rapidly growing levels of popularity and participation. Despite providing economic activity for many developing coastal communities, the potential role of dive impacts in contributing to coral reef damage is a concern at heavily dived locations. Management measures to address this issue increasingly include the introduction ...

Article: The Winter 1986 issue of IMAGE contained a timely and much needed critical analysis of NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Taxonomy I. In this article, Porter identifies the major problem of the NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Taxonomy I—its lack of logical consistency. However, her discussion of the problem reflects some general misunderstanding within nursing about the nature or characteristics of taxon...

Credit ratings convey credit risk information to participants in financial markets, including investors, issuers, intermediaries and regulators. This paper proposes an automatic text analysis system for financial news and analyzes the effects of news coverage and sentiment factors on credit ratings. Our experiment results show that firms with higher news coverage received worse ratings in the n...

Integers have many interesting properties. In this paper it will be shown that, for an arbitrary nonconstant arithmetic progression {an}TM=l of positive integers (denoted by N), either {an}TM=l contains infinitely many palindromic numbers or else 10|aw for every n GN. (This result is a generalization of the theorem concerning the existence of palindromic multiples, cf. [2].) More generally, for...

INTRODUCTION Prior assessments of emergency medical services (EMS) stroke capacity found deficiencies in education and training, use of protocols and screening tools, and planning for the transport of patients. A 2001 survey of North Carolina EMS providers found many EMS systems lacked basic stroke services. Recent statewide efforts have sought to standardize and improve prehospital stroke care...
