Denote the free group on 2 letters by F2 and the SL(2,C)-representation variety of F2 by R = Hom(F2, SL(2,C)). The group SL(2,C) acts on R by conjugation. We construct an isomorphism between the coordinate ring C[SL(2,C)] and the ring of matrix coefficients, providing an additive basis of C[R]SL(2,C) in terms of spin networks. Using a graphical calculus, we determine the symmetries and multipli...

With the growth of different search engines, it becomes difficult for an user to search particular information effectively. If a search engine could provide domain specific information such as that confines only to a particular topicality, it is referred to as domain specific engine. Applying the ranking model trained for broad-based search to a domain specific search does not achieve good perf...

Electron beam irradiated sheep wool dosed (0–410) kGy showing good adsorption properties was tested for Cr(III) and Co(II) of higher concentrations. Fitting to ten isotherm models examined as follows: Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin, Flory-Huggins, Halsey, Harkins-Jura, Jovanovic, Elovich Redlich-Peterson. Both cations being Lewis acids generate complex salts, such carboxylat...

In this paper, we describe our methods for ImageCLEF 2013 Personal Photo Retrieval Task. We devote our attention to making our system efficient in retrieving documents which have the similar topic with few query data. We train a ranking function using rankSVM. We extract Fisher Vectors (FVs) from several local descriptors as visual features, and use Bag-of-Words (BoW) as metadata features. The ...

Dear Editor,After reading Melissa Leilani Larson's review of Levi Peterson's short story collection, Losing a Bit Eden (“The Promise and Limitations Working-Class Male Protagonists,” Dialogue, Summer 2022), I would like to offer different perspective. had an easier time the stories than she did; saw misogyny as satirized.Peterson's main characters—mostly male, mostly rural Western, all ambivale...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the construct validity of the Self-Efficacy/Social Support for Activity for persons with Intellectual Disability (SE/SS-AID) scales developed by Peterson, Peterson, Lowe, & Nothwehr (2009). A total of 146 participants with intellectual disabilities completed 6 self-efficacy (SE) items and 18 social support (SS) items. After applying the Rasch rating ...
