Purely affine elementary su(N) fusions
We consider three-point couplings in simple Lie algebras -- singlets in
triple tensor products of their integrable highest weight representations. A
coupling can be expressed as a linear combination of products of finitely many
elementary couplings. This carries over to affine fusion, the fusion of
Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theories, where the expressions are in terms
of elementary fusions. In the case of su(4) it has been observed that there is
a purely affine elementary fusion, i.e., an elementary fusion that is not an
elementary coupling. In this note we show by construction that there is at
least one purely affine elementary fusion associated to every su(N>3).Comment: 9 pages, LaTe
Fusion multiplicities as polytope volumes: N-point and higher-genus su(2) fusion
We present the first polytope volume formulas for the multiplicities of
affine fusion, the fusion in Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theories, for
example. Thus, we characterise fusion multiplicities as discretised volumes of
certain convex polytopes, and write them explicitly as multiple sums measuring
those volumes. We focus on su(2), but discuss higher-point (N>3) and
higher-genus fusion in a general way. The method follows that of our previous
work on tensor product multiplicities, and so is based on the concepts of
generalised Berenstein-Zelevinsky diagrams, and virtual couplings. As a
by-product, we also determine necessary and sufficient conditions for
non-vanishing higher-point fusion multiplicities. In the limit of large level,
these inequalities reduce to very simple non-vanishing conditions for the
corresponding tensor product multiplicities. Finally, we find the minimum level
at which the higher-point fusion and tensor product multiplicities coincide.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, version to be publishe
Relationship between use of ankle-foot orthoses and quality of life and psychological well being : a research plan
An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is an externally applied device that encompasses the joints of the ankle and foot, used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems(ISO,1989,a&b). AFOs are prescribed for people who have a loss of function affecting their mobility, experienced in wide range of conditions such as stroke, poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and osteoarthritis

A multimedia website for the Battle of Gettysburg
This thesis explains the development of a website for eighth graders about the Battle of Gettysburg. One purpose of the project is to provide several primary source documents, pictures, video from a reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg, clips from movies about the Civil War, and other material that suppport the students in their learning. The second purpose is to fulffill standard 8.10 of History-Social Science Content Standards for eight grade. This project will help students fulfill this requirement
The acute effects of transdermal testosterone precursor administration on serum steroid hormone levels in females
Most governing sports authorities have banned the use of anabolic steroids as ergogenic aids. Recently, a transdermal testosterone precursor dietary supplement (AndrosteDERMRTM) has become available; athletes can apply the cream to their skin with the belief that it will increase serum testosterone levels, muscle mass, and strength. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of one milliliter of AndrosteDERMRTM) applied to the inner surface of the upper arm on the serum levels of androstenedione, and free and total testosterone in female subjects. Serum levels were measured before application and every 45 minutes thereafter for six hours. Serum androstenedione, and free and total testosterone levels were analyzed using radioimmunoassay. Although the trend seemed to indicate that serum levels did not rise after application, several subjects had physiologically impossible values, which appear to be due to methodological errors. That information, along with the initial small number of subjects made the use of statistical treatment unwise and inferences about the population impossible
On the level-dependence of Wess-Zumino-Witten three-point functions
Three-point functions of Wess-Zumino-Witten models are investigated. In
particular, we study the level-dependence of three-point functions in the
models based on algebras and . We find a correspondence with
Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Using previous work connecting those triangles
to the fusion multiplicities, and the Gepner-Witten depth rule, we explain how
to construct the full three-point functions. We show how their level-dependence
is similar to that of the related fusion multiplicity. For example, the concept
of threshold level plays a prominent role, as it does for fusion.Comment: 24 pages, no figure
