The general theory of the branching processes is used for establishing the relation between the parameters k and ¯ n of the negative binomial distribution. This relation gives the possibility to describe the overall data on multiplicity distributions in pp(p¯ p)-collisions for energies up to 900 GeV and to make several interesting predictions for higher energies. This general approach is free f...

We show that the algebra homomorphism Uq(ĝln) ։ K GLd×C ∗ (Z)⊗C(q) constructed by Ginzburg and Vasserot between the quantum affine algebra of type gln and the equivariant K-theory group of the Steinberg variety (of incomplete flags), specializes to a surjective homomorphism U res ǫ (ĝln) ։ K GLd×C ∗ ǫ (Z). In particular, this shows that the parametrization of irreducible U res ǫ (ŝln)-modules a...

Al~lract--Motivated by a crucial role blocking zeros play in deciphering the strong stabilizability of a given system, a careful study of blocking zeros is undertaken here. After developing certain properties of blocking zeros and based on the multiplicity structure of invariant zeros, we identify what kind of invariant zeros are blocking zeros. For controllable and observable systems, an invar...

This paper explores the meanings of ‘Body’ and ‘Spirit’ in relation to one of the most important personages in Hohodene cosmology, the spirit “Keeper of Sickness and Sorcery”, named Kuwai. [“Yurupary” in lingua geral] This Great Spirit is an extraordinarily complex synthesis of the Hohodene (and other Baniwa, northern Arawak-speaking peoples) worldview. His ‘Body’ was full of holes from which t...

Abstract During the textual profusion derived from Gutenberg’s press, Comenius and Montaigne elaborated pedagogical reflections that, more or less evidently, take diversity of opinions interpretations as an object propose different ways to deal with it. The former tries neutralize it by reinforcing divine word only one and, hence, reference define what is important inside schools, whereas latte...

At any given time, a subject has a multiplicity of conscious experiences. A subject might simultaneously have visual experiences of a red book and a green tree, auditory experiences of birds singing, bodily sensations of a faint hunger and a sharp pain in the shoulder, the emotional experience of a certain melancholy, while having a stream of conscious thoughts about the nature of reality. Thes...
