The irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras Uq(ĝ) have been studied from various viewpoints, [AK], [CP1], [CP3], [C], [CP4], [FR], [FM], [KR], [KS]. These representations decompose as a direct sum of irreducible representations of the quantized eneveloping algebra Uq(g) associated to the underlying finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g. But, except for a few ...

To effectively improve a speech synthesis system, it is important to find and focus on improving the modules whose effect on naturalness degradation in synthesized speech are the largest. In this paper, we describe the design of a perception experiment to measure the effect of each module separately. Synthesized speech stimuli whose intermediate information is modified during a synthesis proces...

A finite W-algebra U (g, e) is a certain finitely generated algebra that can be viewed as the enveloping algebra of the Slodowy slice to the adjoint orbit of a nilpotent element e of a complex reductive Lie algebra g. It is possible to give the tensor product of a U (g, e)-module with a finite dimensional U (g)-module the structure of a U (g, e)-module; we refer to such tensor products as trans...

Membrane distillation has the potential to concentrate solutions to their saturation level, thus offering the possibility to recover valuable salts from the solutions. The process performance and stability, however, is strongly dependent upon the features of membranes applied. In addition, several other parameters, membrane thickness and thermal conductivity significantly affect the process per...

This paper addresses motion planning of a homogeneous modular robotic system. The modules have self-reconfiguration capability so that a group of the modules can construct a robotic structure generating dynamic motion. Motion planning for self-reconfiguration is not straightforward because the modular structure allows many combinatorial configurations, and also the proposed module has only two ...

We study the properties of level-zero modules over quantized affine algebras. The proof of the conjecture on the cyclicity of tensor products by T. Akasaka and the author is given. Several properties of modules generated by extremal vectors are proved. The weights of a module generated by an extremal vector are contained in the convex hull of the Weyl group orbit of the extremal weight. The uni...

In this paper we study G-extensions of real and complex representations of a closed normal subgroup H of a compact Lie group G when G/H is connected. The main result gives a necessary and sufficient condition for every complex irreducible H-module to extend to a G-module. In particular, we show that every complex Hmodule extends to a G-module if the fundamental group of G/H is torsion free. We ...

A module is a fundamental unit forming with highly connected proteins and performs a certain kind of biological functions. Modules and module-module interaction (MMI) network are essential for understanding cellular processes and functions. The MoNetFamily web server can identify the modules, homologous modules (called module family) and MMI networks across multiple species for the query protei...

The performance data of a PV module are derived from the current-voltage characteristic measured under standard test conditions (STC). For this purpose, test laboratories as well as module production plants employ solar simulators which, depending on type and module size, display a more or less pronounced non-uniform distribution of irradiance in the test plane. In view of the quality assurance...
