Meromorphic continuation of Multivariable Euler product and application

This article extends classical one variable results about Euler products defined by integral valued polynomial or analytic functions to several variables. We show there exists a meromorphic continuation up to a presumed natural boundary, and also give a criterion, a la Estermann-Dahlquist, for the existence of a meromorphic extension to \C^n. Among applications we deduce analytic properties of height zeta functions for toric varieties over \Q and group zeta functions.Comment: article soumi

Politics of Language, Gender and Art in Anita Desai’s In Custody

A literary criticism of the novel In Custody by Anita Desai is presented. It discusses the politics of language as well as gender and art in Desai\u27s narrative. The novel raises the existing cultural anxieties that besieged in Indian consciousness, charting the changing social and cultural values as the country moves towards a global ethos

Framework and Development of a Collaborative Supply Chain Model

One of the most critical issues of inventory management is Customer demand (intermittent demand, request for change in product, process or phase in / out). Variation in demand increases the difficulty of determining the precise amount of inventory both to avoid stockout and to satisfy the customer fill rate. The inventory control problem is getting complicated by the fact that demand is uncertain or the variation of demand is highly volatile. [1]. Many practical systems such as manufacturing and inventory systems applications are mostly used to model categorical data sequences. [2]. Results indicate that firms that focus on flexibility, quality, and delivery should develop strategic collaboration with suppliers & customers to achieve market and innovation improvement. Cost- and quality-focused firms should develop operational collaboration to achieve resource efficiency. The model allows understanding the right alignment of external suppliers and customers being pursued to for key performance development and continuous improvement insight

Quelles caractéristiques géométriques faciales 3D donnent votre identité ?

Session "Articles"National audienceLa reconnaissance de visages 3D basée sur les courbes faciales 3D de différentes natures (courbes de niveaux, courbes iso-géodésiques, courbes radiales, profils, polarisation géodésique, etc), est une problématique de reconnaissance des formes largement abordée dans la littérature. Cette représentation par des courbes permet notamment d'analyser localement la forme de la surface faciale contrairement aux approches basées sur les surfaces entières. Elle a l'avantage de faire face aux variations de la pose (le visage test peut correspondre seulement à une partie du visage enrôlé) ou dans le cas des données manquantes (visage altéré par les occultations). Deux questions qui n'ont pas été abordés dans la littérature sont: Est ce que l'utilisation de toutes les courbes du visage aboutissent aux meilleures performances? Y a-t-il des courbes faciales plus pertinentes que d'autres? Nous essayons de répondre à ces questions dans cet article. Premièrement, nous représentons les surfaces faciales comme des collections de courbes de niveaux et radiales. Ensuite, en utilisant la géométrie Riemannienne nous analysons leurs formes. Enfin nous utilisons l'algorithme AdaBoost pour sélectionner les courbes (caractéristiques géométriques) les plus discriminantes. Les expérimentations, réalisées sur la base FRGCv2 avec le protocole standard, donne un taux de reconnaissance de 98.02% qui est un résultat compétitif vis-à-vis de l'état de l'ar

Primary Bilateral Ovarian Artery Embolization for Uterine Leiomyomatosis in the Setting of a Rare Anatomic Variant - Hypoplastic Uterine Arteries

We present the case of a 50-year-old female who underwent bilateral ovarian artery embolization for uterine fibroids in the setting of hypoplastic uterine arteries. Ovarian artery embolization is usually conducted during uterine artery embolization for fibroids to increase the procedure success when ovarian feeders are seen. The bilateral ovarian artery embolization is rarely performed due to fears of amenorrhea and early menopause from decreased blood supply to both ovaries. According to our knowledge, this the first case report describing primary bilateral ovarian artery embolization in the setting of a rare anatomic variant- hypoplastic uterine arteries. The patient had complete resolution of symptoms from her uterine fibroids after treatment with bilateral ovarian artery embolization with no ovarian failure findings on the follow-up

LiHo(PO3)4

Lithium holmium(III) polyphosphate(V), LiHo(PO3)4, belongs to the type I of polyphosphates with general formula ALn(PO3)4, where A is a monovalent cation and Ln is a trivalent rare earth cation. In the crystal structure, the polyphosphate chains spread along the b-axis direction, with a repeat period of four tetra­hedra and 21 inter­nal symmetry. The Li and Ho atoms are both located on twofold rotation axes and are surrounded by four and eight O atoms, leading to a distorted tetra­hedral and dodeca­hedral coordination, respectively. The HoO8 polyhedra are isolated from each other, the closest Ho⋯Ho distance being 5.570 (1) Å
