This follows from the Von Staudt-Claussen Theorem regarding the divisibility of the denominators of Bernoulli numbers. Here we generalize Swinnerton-Dyer’s result to certain Eisenstein series in spaces of modular forms of weight k on a congruence subgroup of type Γ0(N) with Nebentypus character χ. These spaces are denoted by Mk(Γ0(N), χ). For background on integer weight modular forms, see [K]....

The growing resistance to antimicrobial agents of all respiratory tract bacterial pathogens has made the management of sinusitis more difficult. The upper respiratory tract including the nasopharynx serves as the reservoir for pathogenic bacteria that can cause respiratory infections including sinusitis. During a viral respiratory infection, potential pathogens can relocate from the nasopharynx...

A single correlation for sand erosion of a “family” of polyurethanes is presented. By “family” is meant a group of chemically similar compounds. For the first time, an implication of Truesdell’s [1] observations regarding the number of dimensional parameters in viscoelastic constitutive equations has been used together with the Pi theorem to prepare a single dimensionless correlation for a grou...

This is an account regarding the intake of the 7th batch of MBBS students at Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) for the academic session 2003-2004. A total of 257 admission forms had been issued to Nepali students. Of these, 252 admission forms were filled up and were submitted to KMC together with the completed questionnaire by the Nepali students. Seven students (approximately 2.7%) did not atte...

Limited research exists regarding the most aggressive forms of hepatoblastoma. Cell lines of the rare subtypes of hepatoblastoma with poor prognosis are not only difficult to attain but also challenging to characterize histologically. A community-driven approach to educating parents and families, regarding the need for donated tissue, is necessary for scientists to have access to resources for ...

Through BM25, the asymptotic term frequency quantification TF = tf/(tf+K), where tf is the within-document term frequency and K is a normalisation factor, became popular. This paper reports a finding regarding the meaning of the TF quantification: in the triangle of independence and subsumption, the TF quantification forms the altitude, that is, the middle between independent and subsumed event...

A fast method of GP-based model building for time series prediction is proposed. The method involves two newly-devised techniques. One is regarding determination of model parameters: only functional forms are inherited from their parents with genetic programming, but model parameters are not inherited. They are optimized by back-propagation-like algorithm when a child (model) is newborn. The ot...

hepatitis b virus (hbv) is the most prevalent viral infection and is among the leading causes of human liver diseases. nearly 360 millions of people are world widely infected with prolonged forms of hepatitis b including active and inactive chronic forms. chronic hepatitis b (chb) is associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in patients suffering from congenital and/or acquir...

Pre-service teachers responded to two questionnaires exploring perceptions of school violence. Responses to the “Teachers’ Attitudes about Bullying” and “Trainee Teachers’ Bullying Attitudes” questionnaires suggest that teachers across all academic divisions view bullying as a serious concern with implications for their role within the profession. There were considerable differences regarding w...
