This paper is an attempt to provide a JLO-type formula for a bivariant Chern character defined on “families of spectral triples”. Such families should be viewed as an algebraic version of unbounded Kasparov bimodules. The Chern character is built from the exponential of the curvature of a superconnection, leading to a heat kernel regularization of traces. We work within the Cuntz-Quillen formal...

     The effects of substituents on the symmetry and the nature of halogen bonds in [N∙∙∙X∙∙∙N]+-type systems are presented for the YC5H4N∙∙∙X∙∙∙NC5H5 (Y = NO2, CN, H, CH3, OCH3, OH, NH2, X = Cl, Br, I) complexes. Some structural parameters, energy data and electronic properties were explored with...

the present study is an attempt to analyze the characters in the novel blindness and its cinematic adapta- tion from intersemiotic viewpoint. to this end, the researchers provided a synthesized model, which is a combination of bernando (2012) and forster's (1927) classification of characters in order to analyze the two main characters from intersemiotic viewpoint. considering the differenc...

This paper continues the investigation of the rst author begun in part one. The hereditary properties of n-homomorphism amenability for Banach algebras are investigated and the relations between n-homomorphism amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are found. Analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital Banach algebras is n-homomorphism amena...

In a series of screening interviews for psychological distress, conducted separately by a human interviewer and by an animated virtual character controlled by a human, participants talked substantially less and produced twice as many filled pauses when talking to the virtual character. This contrasts with earlier findings, where people were less disfluent when talking to a computer dialogue sys...

When the index bundle of a longitudinal Dirac type operator is transversely smooth, we define its Chern character in Haefliger cohomology and relate it to the Chern character of the K−theory index. This result gives a concrete connection between the topology of the foliation and the longitudinal index formula. Moreover, the usual spectral assumption on the Novikov-Shubin invariants of the opera...

What authoring possibilities arise by blending machine and human control of live embodied character experiences? This paper explores two different “behind-the-scenes” roles for human operators during a three-month gallery installation of an embodied character experience. In the Transcription role, human operators type players’ spoken utterances; then, algorithms interpret the player’s intention...
