We relate the canonical basis of the Fock space representation of the quantum affine algebra Uq(ĝln), as defined by Leclerc and Thibon [LT], to the canonical basis of its restriction to Uq(sln), regarded as a based module in the sense of Lusztig. More generally we consider the restriction to any Levi subalgebra. We deduce results on decomposition numbers and branching coefficients of Schur alge...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether accredited hospitals maintain quality and patient safety standards over the accreditation cycle by testing a life cycle explanation of accreditation on quality measures. Four distinct phases of the accreditation life cycle were defined based on the Joint Commission International process. Predictions concerning the time series trend of compliance during each phase w...

In this paper, we develop a stochastic model for topology optimization. We find robust structures that minimize the compliance for a given main load having a stochastic behavior. We propose a model that takes into account the expected value of the compliance and its variance. We show that, similarly to the case of truss structures, these values can be computed with an equivalent deterministic a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial stiffness may indicate early vascular changes that predispose to the development of major vascular disease. The repeatability of a variety of indices of arterial stiffness calculated from a standard carotid arterial M-mode ultrasound image was investigated. METHODS Twenty-six asymptomatic normal subjects were imaged and had blood pressure recordings on each of ...

purpose: this study aimed to assess the relationship between religious orientation (internal / external) of library users and their tendency to safekeeping and protect the information resources and heeding library rules. method: the research method was survey and the data gathered using the alport questionnaire of religious orientation and a questionnaire for assessing the tendency of the users...

During the development of a new vehicle, the vehicle is usually tested to determine both its static torsional and bending stiffness, and its dynamic torsional and bending modes. This paper discusses a method for determining both static and dynamic properties from the modal analysis test. Such a connection between static stiffness and dynamic modes would be useful for three reasons: (1) the rela...

What kind of phenomenon is it when ordinary people in the United Kingdom unexpectedly abide by government advice on social distancing response to COVID-19 pandemic, even anticipating constraints their activities? These happenings demand that we engage anthropologically with compliance – acts or activities conform, submit adapt rules demands others. At present, there no ‘anthropology compliance’...

In [AO] the authors study Steiner bundles via their unstable hyperplanes and proved that (see [AO], Tmm 5.9) : A rank n Steiner bundle on Pn which is SL(2,C) invariant is a Schwarzenberger bundle. In this note we give a very short proof of this result based on Clebsch-Gordon problem for SL(2,C)modules.
