background: score worksheets have been extracted for phd candidates in epidemiology, microbiology and parasitology for the academic year of 1386-87. the main objective in this study is the impact and importance of different subjects on the discrimination results of admission. methods: extracted scores from worksheets are analyzed by minitab15 statistical toolbox. the regression values of differ...

We evaluate the virial coefficients Bk for k ≤ 10 for hard spheres in dimensions D = 2, · · · , 8. Virial coefficients with k even are found to be negative when D ≥ 5. This provides strong evidence that the leading singularity for the virial series lies away from the positive real axis when D ≥ 5. Further analysis provides evidence that negative virial coefficients will be seen for some k > 10 ...

This paper gives a qualitative description how Young tableaux can be used to perform a Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of tensor products in SU(3) and how this can be generalized to SU(N).

This essay describes the development of groups used for the specification of symmetries from ordinary and magnetic point groups to Fedorov and magnetic space groups, as well as other varieties of groups useful in the study of symmetric objects. In particular, we consider the problem of some incorrectness in Vol. A of the International Tables for Crystallography. Some results of tensor calculus ...

We define a set of orthogonal functions on the complex projective space CPN−1, and compute their Clebsch-Gordan coefficients as well as a large class of 6–j symbols. We also provide all the needed formulae for the generation of high-temperature expansions for U(N)-invariant spin models defined on CPN−1.

We generalize a construction of Dunkl, obtaining a wide class intertwining functions on the symmetric group and a related family of multidimensional Hahn polynomials. Following a suggestion of Vilenkin and Klymik, we develop a tree-method approach for those intertwining functions. We also give a group theoretic proof of the relation between Hahn polynomials and Clebesh-Gordan coefficients, give...

A 'differential measure' is used to cast our calculus for the group SU (3) into a form similar to Schwinger's boson operator calculus for the group SU (2). It is then applied to compute (i) the inner product between the basis states and (ii) an algebraic formula for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. These were obtained earlier by us using Gaussian integration techniques.

The zero distribution of orthogonal polynomials pn,N , n = 0, 1, . . . generated by recurrence coefficients an,N and bn,N depending on a parameter N has been recently considered by Kuijlaars and Van Assche under the assumption that an,N and bn,N behave like a(n/N) and b(n/N), respectively, where a(·) and b(·) are continuous functions. Here, we extend this result by allowing a(·) and b(·) to be ...

The purpose of this paper is to find out a set of general recurrence formulas for the calculus of the SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The first six sections are introductory, presenting the notations and general group theoretical methods applied to SU(3). The following eight sections are devoted to a detailed treatment of the carrier spaces of the irreducible representations and their direct...
