I . Rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured in pigs from birth to 3 days of age in an open-circuit system. 2. The mean respiratory quotient (RQ) during the first 6 h following birth was 0.95 in fasted pigs and 0.91 in pigs which were allowed to feed. 3. The RQ fell during the remainder of the first postnatal day to mean values close to 0.85, whether the pigs were...

Intrapersonal competencies form the foundation of one’s development, and they are fundamental qualities of leadership competences. Four types of intelligence are highlighted in the literature of positive psychology: intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional intelligence quotient (EQ), adversity quotient (AQ) and spiritual intelligence quotient (SQ). It is argued that these competences are important...

Throughout this paper, G denotes a simple and simply connected algebraic group over C of rank r and H is a Cartan subgroup, with Lie algebras g = LieG and h = LieH. Let R be the root system of the pair (G,H), W the Weyl group, and Λ ⊆ h the coroot lattice. Fix once and for all a positive Weyl chamber, i.e. a set of simple roots ∆. The geometric invariant theory quotient of g by the adjoint acti...

In a Hamiltonian system with first class constraints observables can be defined as elements of a quotient Poisson bracket algebra. In the gauge fixing approach observables form a quotient Dirac bracket algebra. We show that these two algebras are isomorphic. A new realization of the observable algebras through the original Poisson bracket is found.Generators, brackets and pointwise products of ...

In this paper we introduce a new coalitional value in the context of TU games with an a priori system of unions, which it is called the symmetric coalitional Banzhaf value. This value satisfies the property of symmetry in the quotient game, the quotient game property, and it is a coalitional value of Banzhaf. Several characterizations are provided and two political examples illustrate the diffe...
