For a given conformal algebra C, we write down the correspondence between identities of the coefficient algebra Coeff C and identities of C itself as of pseudoalgebra. In particular, we write down the defining relations of Jordan, alternative and Mal’cev conformal algebras, and show that the analogue of Artin’s Theorem does not hold for alternative conformal algebras. 1. Conformal algebras In t...

This study compares three types of project teams in a global high-tech organization: traditional (co-located), virtual (completely distributed), and ‘semi-virtual’ or hybrid (containing both local and remote members). We use in-group/out-group theories of subgroups to help explain the findings. Specifically, local members of semi-virtual teams report much more positive perceptions of their loca...

the potential of tobacco waste as a viable source of medicinally important flavonoids like rutin has been investigated. three flavonoids, apigenin, quercetin and rutin, have been isolated from waste tobacco leaves, and their identities have been confirmed by uv-visible, 1h-nmr and 13c-nmr spectroscopy. by using analytical hplc, the amount of rutin present in the tobacco leaves, before and after...

Localism is a social movement often associated with “buy local” food initiatives or the prevention of big-box retail expansion. At its core, however, localism is also about fostering local independence by encouraging businesses to opt for local alternatives when making purchasing decisions. In this article, we develop and test hypotheses that organizations with stronger communityoriented identi...

We give a proof of L-bounds for the quasi-geostrophic equation and other non-local equations. The proof uses mainly tools from functional analysis, notably the product formulas (also known as “operator splitting methods”) and the Bochner-Pollard subordination identities, hence it could be applicable to other equations. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47D06, 47F05, 35S10, 35Q99.

the main purpose of this study was to examine the citation patterns of discussion sections employed by local and international article writers in esp and egp subdisciplines of applied linguistics. eighty article discussion sections were selected from well-established local and international journals in the field of applied linguistics, and they were sorted according to thompson and tribble’s (2...

An open question in protein homology modeling is, how well do current modeling packages satisfy the dual criteria of quality of results and practical ease of use? To address this question objectively, we examined homology-built models of a variety of therapeutically relevant proteins. The sequence identities across these proteins range from 19% to 76%. A novel metric, the difference alignment i...
