Our aim in this paper is to present a framework in which the results of Waldspurger and Gross–Zagier can be viewed simultaneously. This framework may also be useful in understanding recent work of Zhang, Xue, Cornut, Vatsal, and Darmon. It involves a blending of techniques from representation theory and automorphic forms with those from the arithmetic of modular curves. I hope readers from one ...

In this paper we investigate which principles people use when they name new things as results of blending. The aim is to uncover patterns with high creative potential and to use them for automated generation of names for new creations or phenomena. We collected examples with a web survey in which participants were asked to evaluate pictures of animals with blended anatomies from two different a...

We show that the amount of particle production in an arbitrary cosmological background can be determined using only the late-time positive-frequency modes. We don’t refer to modes at early times, so there is no need for a Bogolubov transformation. We also show that particle production can be extracted from the Feynman propagator in an auxiliary spacetime. This provides a first-quantized formali...

In this paper dynamic damping properties of a nominated flexible structural adhesive have been identified using an extended-direct modal based joint identification method. It has been revealed that damping characteristics of adhesive are correlated to both frequency and mode shape. Young’s and shear moduli increase with frequency but damping on the other hand, decrease. The results showed that ...

Co-production, which is the generation of value through the direct involvement of customers in the creation of a service context and in the design, delivery, and marketing of goods and services that they themselves consume, implies customer-firm collaboration. The nature of this collaboration, however, is highly dependent on the organization’s service design, which increasingly includes Interne...

Introduction: The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), first of all, identifies dangerous modes in a process and, then, provides proper control measures that are required to reduce the level of risk. This study aims to investigate the risk level before and after the implementation of control measures in an edible oil factory. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an edibl...

strategic programming, complex supply chain, lean, production programming, suppliers selection,   electre this paper represents a model of strategic programming with limited resources in a complex supply chain. the main goal of the proposed model is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain with respect to income increases and cost decreases. using special objective functions...
