let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $a,cin pounds$. in this paper, we define component extensions of $a$ by $c$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $a$ by $c$ forms a subgroup of $ext(c,a)$ whenever $a$ is a connected group. we establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine lca groups which are component projective. ...

Let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $A,Cin pounds$. In this paper, we define component extensions of $A$ by $C$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $A$ by $C$ forms a subgroup of $Ext(C,A)$ whenever $A$ is a connected group. We establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine LCA groups which are component projective. ...

We show that each Jordan homomorphism R→ R′ of rings gives rise to a harmonic mapping of one connected component of the projective line over R into the projective line over R′. If there is more than one connected component then this mapping can be extended in various ways to a harmonic mapping which is defined on the entire projective line over R.

Evaluators and researchers often have to deal with situations in which conventional research tools are impossible to use, either because of the characteristics of a population or unclear research variables. This paper presents a technique that succeeds in overcoming this kind of problem--a projective technique, but one that differs from the usual approach to projective techniques. The approach ...

During recent years, several studies have revealed that human-dog relationships are based on a well-established and complex bond. There is now evidence suggesting that the dog-human affectional bond can be characterized as an "attachment". The present study investigated possible association between the owners' attachment profile assessed throughout a new semi-projective test (the 9 Attachment P...

We introduce a notion of Homological Projective Duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties X and Y in dual projective spaces are Homologically Projectively Dual, then we prove that the orthogonal linear sections of X and Y admit semiorthogonal decompositions with an equivalent nontrivial c...

Let $mathcal{X}$ be a class of $R$-modules‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate ;$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) and DG-$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) complexes which are generalizations of injective (projective) and DG-injecti‎‎ve (projective) complexes‎. ‎We prove that some known results can be extended to the class of ;$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) and DG-$mathcal{X}$-injective ...

Purpose – In the literature, there is a lack of tools able to catch the symbolic dimension of the brand image, which go beyond rational and emotional dimensions. This paper aims to find and test a new instrument, named “Multi-Sensory Sort” (MuSeS). Design/methodology/approach – MuSeS, a direct methodology of exploring the consumer’s symbolic universe and the unconscious expectations, is compose...

 Let $R$ be a ring‎, ‎and let $n‎, ‎d$ be non-negative integers‎. ‎A right $R$-module $M$ is called $(n‎, ‎d)$-projective if $Ext^{d+1}_R(M‎, ‎A)=0$ for every $n$-copresented right $R$-module $A$‎. ‎$R$ is called right $n$-cocoherent if every $n$-copresented right $R$-module is $(n+1)$-coprese-nted‎, ‎it is called a right co-$(n,d)$-ring if every right $R$-module is $(n‎, ‎d)$-projective‎. ‎$R$...
