In the first part of this paper we study minimal representations of simply connected simple split groups G of type Dk or Ek over local nonarchimedian fields. Our main result is an explicit formula for the spherical vectors in these representations. In the case of groups over R and C, such a formula was obtained recently in [8]. We also use our techniques to study the structure of the space of s...

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

In this paper, the effects of container size on the porosity of random loose packing of mono size particles have been investigated using an Event Dynamics (ED) based model. Simultaneous effects of square container walls on particles packing and their order are also investigated. Our simulation results indicate higher container size will increase the total packing factor and high density regions...

It is argued that the association of any two random elements with positive joint probability density function is characterized by its odds ratio function. The impact of this fundamental result is explored in two applications. In Bayesian analyses it is the association between an observable random variable and a random parameter that is of primary interest. In multivariate analysis it is the ass...

We begin with defining the ubiquitous concept of a vector space and several properties associated with them, as well as mathematical operations defined on them. The concept of a vector space is, in general, defined over an arbitrary field of scalars. However, we shall restrict ourselves to real vector spaces, i.e. those defined over the field of reals. Definition 2.1 (Vector Space). A real vect...

Central pseudoscalar production in pp scattering is suppressed at small values of Q ⊥ , where Q is defined as the difference between the momenta transferred from the two protons. Such a behaviour is expected if the production occurs through the fusion of two vectors. Photon exchange could provide the dominant contribution here, but we argue that an extension of the experiment could probe the gl...

This paper studies the incidence relation between the points and quadrics in the projective space of a symplectic vector space over a field of even order. The 2-rank of the incidence matrix is determined. This is achieved by viewing the code generated by incidence vectors as a module for the symplectic group and applying the 2-modular representation theory of this group. The radical series of t...
