Let s ≥ 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s, s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature homogeneous; their curvature tensor is modeled on that of a local symmetric space. They are spacelike Jordan Osserman with a Jacobi operator which is nilpotent of ord...

In the present paper we shall consider from two different standpoints the real Riemann integrable functions on a bounded closed interval / contained in En. Our results will be extendable to the complex case by standard arguments. (1) In §1 we designate the real valued Riemann integrable functions by R(I). If R(I) is normed by ||/|| =supx6j |/(x)| then it is known that R(I) is a Banach algebra. ...

Considering the Euclidean Jordan algebra of the real symmetric matrices endowed with the Jordan product and the inner product given by the usual trace of matrices, we construct an alternating Schur series with an element of the Jordan frame associated to the adjacency matrix of a strongly regular graph. From this series we establish necessary conditions for the existence of strongly regular gra...

For a finite group scheme G, we continue our investigation of those finite dimensional kG-modules which are of constant Jordan type. We introduce a Quillen exact category structure C(kG) on these modules and investigate K0(C(kG)). We study which Jordan types can be realized as the Jordan types of (virtual) modules of constant Jordan type. We also briefly consider thickenings of C(kG) inside the...

BACKGROUND Most of the recent literature on fertility stalls has concentrated on sub-Saharan Africa and has highlighted flaws in DHS data. No similar detailed research exists for presumed stalls occurring in countries outside that region. This is particularly surprising when considering that cases of fertility stalls have also been suggested in Middle Eastern countries, including Egypt, Syria a...

Let T be a triangular ring. An additive map δ from T into itself is said to be Jordan derivable at an element Z ∈ T if δ(A)B +Aδ(B) + δ(B)A+Bδ(A) = δ(AB+BA) for any A,B ∈ T with AB + BA = Z. An element Z ∈ T is called a Jordan all-derivable point of T if every additive map Jordan derivable at Z is a Jordan derivation. In this paper, we show that some idempotents in T are Jordan all-derivable po...

The burden of smoking-related diseases in Jordan is increasingly evident. During 2006, chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) accounted for more than 50% of all deaths in Jordan. With this evidence in hand, we highlight the prevalence of smoking in Jordan among youth and adults and briefly review legislation that governs tobacco control in Jordan. The prevalence of smoking in Jordan remains u...

This paper shows that Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) and a data communication standard called Job Transfer and Manipulation (JTM) are built on the same concepts, even though different words are used. The paper analyses the correspondence of workflow concepts and JTM concepts. Besides, the correspondence of relationships between those concepts is analysed as well. Thus, we show that JTM is s...

We study a noncommutative generalization of Jordan algebras called Leibniz— Jordan algebras. These algebras satisfy the identities [x1x2]x3 = 0, (x 2 1 , x2, x3) = 2(x1, x2, x1x3), x1(x 2 1 x2) = x 2 1 (x1x2); they are related with Jordan algebras in the same way as Leibniz algebras are related to Lie algebras. We present an analogue of the Tits— Kantor—Koecher construction for Leibniz—Jordan a...
