Cuspidal Modules Of The Lie Superalgebras Osp(1|2n)
(Mathematics, 2010-11-01)The classification of all bounded weight modules for the classical Lie superalgebras is an open question. Only recently, in fact, has the question been closed for the Lie algebras (see Mathieu). We give a differential ... -
CUSTOMER MISTREAMENT, THIRD PARTY OBSERVERS, AND EMOTIONAL LABOR: AN EXPLORATION OF THE PHENOMENON OF BREAKING CHARACTER
(2022-06-27)The emotional labor literature is vast and complex. Overwhelmingly, most studies focus on surface acting and deep acting. Breaking character, expressing true, negative emotions to a customer, is understudied, despite ... -
Customization Of A Generic Search Engine By Adding User Categories
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)The current search engines available on the Net are generic in nature. They do not consider user preferences and treat all users information needs in the same way. As a result they frequently return a large number of ... -
Cutoff Frequencies For Alfven Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(Physics, 2014-12)Propagation of linear Alfven waves in the isothermal and non-isothermal solaratmosphere is investigated numerically and analytically. It is shown that thetwo wave variables, the velocity and magnetic field perturbations, ... -
CXLEngine - A Comprehensive XML Loosely Structured Search Engine
