The recent ban on cow slaughtering in India has brought into debate highly emotive and contentious issues to the forefront The meat industry is characterized by controls across the entire value-chain of production and sale, which not only hampers its efficiency but also exacerbates the. The growth and development in meat industry in particular and the country in general has multiple linkages wi...

In recent work by Etingof, Henriques, Kamnitzer, and the author, a presentation and explicit basis was given for the rational co-homology of the real locus M0,n(R) of the moduli space of stable genus 0 curves with n marked points. We determine the graded character of the action of Sn on this space (induced by permutations of the marked points), both in the form of a plethystic formula for the c...

Nineteenth and twentieth century philosophies of science have consistently failed to identify any rational basis for the compelling character of scientific analogies. This failure is particularly worrisome in light of the fact that the development and diffusion of certain scientific analogies, e.g. Darwin’s analogy between domestic breeds and naturally occurring species, constitute paradigm cas...

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in studying the global attractivity, the boundedness character, and the periodicity nature of nonlinear difference equations see for example, [1– 22]. The study of the nonlinear rational difference equations of a higher order is quite challenging and rewarding, and the results about these equations offer prototypes towards the development of the basic ...

In this paper, we describe a method of image-based structure analysis and conversion into XML documents for a table of contents in a book. In the table of contents, structural elements such as chapter, section are featured by the extent of indention and the size of character. We focus on them, and classify the text lines into some groups using the two features of text line. We relate the groups...

In Table 2 we have collected results for o for certain elements belonging to the same groups in the periodic table. Table 2 contains the numerical values of the total cross section for several elements. The results show that o is not a monotonic function of k for small A:-values but neither a complicated function of k. o contains some maxima and minima which means it ahs an oscillatory characte...

We now continued our search in the 609 bp 3'-UTR region of GATA4 to explore further molecular avenues leading to CHD. Background: To identify further genetic alterations associated with CHD, we continued our search in the 609 bp of 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of GATA4. 2. The authors should modify Table 3, indicating with a different character (for example in bold) the new sequence variatio...

We construct a quotient ring of the ring of diagonal coinvariants of the complex reflection group W = G(m, 1, n) and determine its graded character. This generalises a result of Gordon for Coxeter groups. The proof uses a study of category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of W , including a shift isomorphism which is proved in Appendix 1.

In this paper, we give estimates of character sums of Weil type. They are associated with polynomials and rational functions with coefficients in a quadratic extension k2 of a finite field k of q elements, additive and multiplicative characters of k2, and summed over the kernel of the norm map from k× 2 to k×. The bounds are of the magnitude O( √ q) with the implied constant depending on the de...
