In this paper, we study and analyze the algebraic structure of the circular cone. We establish a new efficient spectral decomposition, set up the Jordan algebra associated with the circular cone, and prove that this algebra forms a Euclidean Jordan algebra with a certain inner product. We then show that the cone of squares of this Euclidean Jordan algebra is indeed the circular cone itself. The...

background: the control of spread of hiv takes concerted efforts at both national and international levels. education is an important component of preventing the spread of hiv. this study aimed to assess the attitudes of parents, teachers and students towards informing children about hiv/aids, attitudes concerning 'proper' age to learn about hiv/aids, possible differences in attitudes relating ...

We take an algorithmic and computational approach to a basic problem in abstract algebra: determining the correct generalization to dialgebras of a given variety of nonassociative algebras. We give a simplified statement of the KP algorithm introduced by Kolesnikov and Pozhidaev for extending polynomial identities for algebras to corresponding identities for dialgebras. We apply the KP algorith...

A commutative loop is Jordan if it satisfies the identity x2(yx) = (x2y)x. Using an amalgam construction and its generalizations, we prove that a nonassociative Jordan loop of order n exists if and only if n ≥ 6 and n 6= 9. We also consider whether powers of elements in Jordan loops are well-defined, and we construct an infinite family of finite simple nonassociative Jordan loops.

This work concerns in part the construction of conformal Jordan cells of infinite rank and their reductions to conformal Jordan cells of finite rank. It is also discussed how a procedure similar to Lie algebra contractions may reduce a conformal Jordan cell of finite rank to one of lower rank. A conformal Jordan cell of rank one corresponds to a primary field. This offers a picture in which any...
