In this paper we determine the support of the irreducible spherical representation (i.e., the irreducible quotient of the polynomial representation) of the rational Cherednik algebra of a finite Coxeter group for any value of the parameter c. In particular, we determine for which values of c this representation is finite dimensional. This generalizes a result of Varagnolo and Vasserot, [VV], wh...

(a) Before glassblowing (b) After glassblowing Figure 2: Photographs of fabricated 3-D spherical shell resonators with integrated electrostatic transducers. This paper presents a new paradigm for design and fabrication of 3-D spherical shell resonators. The approach uses pressure and surface tension driven plastic deformation (glassblowing) on a wafer scale as a mechanism for creation of inhere...

This paper puts forth homogenization solutions for the macroscopic elastic dielectric response—under finite deformations and finite electric fields—of ideal elastic dielectric composites with two-phase isotropic particulate microstructures. Specifically, solutions are presented for three classes of microstructures: (i) an isotropic iterative microstructure wherein the particles are infinitely p...

This paper addresses the problem of representing the connectivity information of geometric objects using as little memory as possible. As opposed to raw compression issues, the focus is here on designing data structures that preserve the possibility of answering incidence queries in constant time. We propose in particular the first optimal representations for 3-connected planar graphs and trian...

Two homologous series of cyclically twinned sulphosalt structures are defined in the present paper, with different atomic configurations around the site of sixand threefold axes. The zinckenite homologous series, M6+x+N(N+S) A12+N(N+7), contains zinckenite, a Pb-Sb sulphosalt, and sulphohalogenides of Bi and Pb. The Ba Bi sulphide homologous series, M12+x+N(N+S) A18+N(N+7), contains complex sul...

THERMUS is a package of C++ classes and functions allowing statistical-thermal model analyses of particle production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to be performed within the ROOT framework of analysis. Calculations are possible within three statistical ensembles; a grand-canonical treatment of the conserved charges B, S and Q, a fully canonical treatment of the conserved charges, and a m...

BACKGROUND Childbirth fear is reported to affect around 20% of women. However reporting on levels of symptom severity vary. Unlike Scandinavian countries, there has been limited focus on childbirth fear in Australia. The aim of this paper is to determine the prevalence of low, moderate, high and severe levels of childbirth fear in a large representative sample of pregnant women drawn from a lar...

China’s emergence as a global economic player has been accompanied by a major internal transformation described in a new World Bank/IFC publication.** Over the past decade, the economy has made the transition from complete reliance on state-owned and collective enterprise to a mixed economy where private enterprise plays a leading role. This is an ongoing process, during which the economy will ...

The Gram-negative human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa tolerates high concentrations of β-lactam antibiotics. Despite inhibiting the growth of the organism, these cell wall-targeting drugs exhibit remarkably little bactericidal activity. However, the mechanisms underlying β-lactam tolerance are currently unclear. Here, we show that P. aeruginosa undergoes a rapid en masse transition from norma...
