By investigating the action of the 0-Hecke algebra on the coinvariant algebra and the complete flag variety, we interpret generating functions counting the permutations with fixed inverse descent set by their inversion number and major index. Résumé. En étudiant l’action de l’algèbre de 0-Hecke sur l’algèbre coinvariante et la variété de drapeaux complète, nous interprétons les fonctions généra...

There are large uncertainties in the predictions of the boron neutrino ux from the Sun which cannot be considered as being of purely statistical origin. We treat the magnitude of this ux, B , as a parameter to be found from experiment. The properties of the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem for diierent values of B are studied. Present data give the bounds: 0:38 < B = 0 B < 3:1 (2), wh...

• We document the difficulty of firms issuing in domestic currency even home market. call this “original sin”, which has been familiar to sovereign bond issuance. The paper explores 5901 financing decisions by seven Asian emerging markets . Bond issuers had a choice between growing onshore and deep, liquid offshore markets. Unseasoned can issue foreign more easily than onshore. A seasoned issue...

The present study evaluated the interchangeability of prosthetic components for external hexagon implants by measuring the precision of the implant/abutment (I/A) interface with scanning electron microscopy. Ten implants for each of three brands (SIN, Conexão, Neodent) were tested with their respective abutments (milled CoCr collar rotational and non-rotational) and another of an alternative ma...

The continuous repetition of Christian de Duve’s primary thesis in Genetics of Original Sin ensures that however little the reader understands or is interested in biology, he will have no doubt as to the author’s primary concern: Natural selection has made humans poor prognosticators. As evolutionary adaptation is all about living (and reproducing) in the moment, humans have evolved some unfort...

We analyzed dual-capture data collected during longitudinal studies monitoring transmission and persistence of Sin Nombre virus in rodents in Colorado. Our data indicate that multiple captures (two or more rodents captured in a single trap) may not be random, as indicated by previous studies, but rather the result of underlying, species-specific social behavior or cohesiveness. In the pairs we ...
