Let s ≥ 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s, s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature homogeneous; their curvature tensor is modeled on that of a local symmetric space. They are spacelike Jordan Osserman with a Jacobi operator which is nilpotent of ord...

Considering the Euclidean Jordan algebra of the real symmetric matrices endowed with the Jordan product and the inner product given by the usual trace of matrices, we construct an alternating Schur series with an element of the Jordan frame associated to the adjacency matrix of a strongly regular graph. From this series we establish necessary conditions for the existence of strongly regular gra...

For a finite group scheme G, we continue our investigation of those finite dimensional kG-modules which are of constant Jordan type. We introduce a Quillen exact category structure C(kG) on these modules and investigate K0(C(kG)). We study which Jordan types can be realized as the Jordan types of (virtual) modules of constant Jordan type. We also briefly consider thickenings of C(kG) inside the...

The burden of smoking-related diseases in Jordan is increasingly evident. During 2006, chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) accounted for more than 50% of all deaths in Jordan. With this evidence in hand, we highlight the prevalence of smoking in Jordan among youth and adults and briefly review legislation that governs tobacco control in Jordan. The prevalence of smoking in Jordan remains u...

An accidental degeneracy of resonances gives rise to a double pole in the scattering matrix, a double zero in the Jost function and a Jordan chain of length two of generalized Gamow-Jordan eigenfunctions of the radial Schrödinger equation. The generalized Gamow-Jordan eigenfunctions are basis elements of an expansion in bound and resonant energy eigenfunctions plus a continuum of scattering wav...

This paper shows that Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) and a data communication standard called Job Transfer and Manipulation (JTM) are built on the same concepts, even though different words are used. The paper analyses the correspondence of workflow concepts and JTM concepts. Besides, the correspondence of relationships between those concepts is analysed as well. Thus, we show that JTM is s...
