The Bernstein Problem in Dimension 6
No full textAbstractThe solution of the Bernstein problem in the regular and exceptional cases, in all dimensionsn, was made by Yu. Lyubich. A. Grishkov proved that there are no nonregular nonexceptional nuclear Bernstein algebras of type (4,2) with stochastic realization and therefore the Bernstein problem of type (4,2) was completely solved by the present author (J. Algebra, to appear). The aim of this paper is to describe explicitly all simplicial stochastic nonexceptional nonregular Bernstein algebras of type (3,3). Since every nonregular nonexceptional Bernstein algebra of dimension 6 is either of type (4,2) or of type (3,3), the Bernstein problem in dimension 6 is completely solved in this paper
Leonard Bernstein: Conductor, educator
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to delve into the life and work of Leonard Bernstein and his contributions to the world—more specifically—the world of music. The discussion will focus primarily on his contributions to the field of conducting as well as some of his educational endeavors. This will be achieved using biographical information and audio/visual recordings of his conducting and teaching
A survey of results on the q-Bernstein polynomials
No full textIt is now nearly a century since S. N. Bernstein introduced his well-known polynomials. This paper is concerned with generalizations of the Bernstein polynomials, mainly with the so called q-Bernstein polynomials. These are due to the author of this paper and are based on the q integers. They reduce to the Bernstein polynomials when we put q = 1 and share the shape-preserving properties of the Bernstein polynomials when q is an element of (0, 1). This paper also describes another earlier generalization of the Bernstein polynomials, a sequence of rational functions that are also based on the q-integers, proposed by A. Lupas, and two even earlier generalizations due to D. D. Stancu. The present author summarizes various results, due to a number of authors, that are concerned with the q-Bernstein polynomials and with Stancu's two generalizations.</p
El arte de acompañarte a ti mismo: análisis de recursos obtenidos de tres transcripciones de Peter Bernstein, Joe Pass y Jonathan Kreisberg para la elaboración de ejercicios de práctica aplicados al auto acompañamiento en un formato de trío de jazz
No full textThe art of accompanying yourself is a research work that analyzes harmonic and interpretive resources for the study of self-comping, obtained from the transcriptions: Bones by Peter Bernstein, There will never be another you by Joe Pass, and Autumn in New York by Jonathan Kreisberg. These resources are classified into three styles of auto-accompaniment due to their interaction between the melody and the comping…El arte de acompañarte a ti mismo es un trabajo de investigación que analiza recursos armónicos e interpretativos para el estudio del auto acompañamiento, obtenidos de las transcripciones: Bones de Peter Bernstein, There will never be another you de Joe Pass, y Autumn in New York de Jonathan Kreisberg. Estos recursos son clasificados en tres estilos de auto acompañamiento debido a su interacción entre la melodía y el comping

Differentiated Bernstein Type Operators
No full textARAL, Ali/0000-0002-2024-8607The present paper deals with the derivatives of Bernstein type operators preserving some exponential functions. We investigate the uniform convergence of the differentiated operators. The rate of convergence by means of a modulus of continuity is studied, an upper estimate theorem for the difference of new constructed differentiated Bernstein type operators is presented.TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [1002, 119F191]; TUBITAKTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)1.

Mitigating urban sprawl effects: a collaborative tree and shade intervention in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
No full textabstract: Communities in Phoenix are confronted with numerous challenges that adversely affect human health and safety, with disproportionate impacts on low-income communities. While some challenges are being addressed at the city level, new alliances at the neighbourhood level are initiating community development programmes and projects. This article reports on an intervention study carried out in collaboration with community representatives, city staff, and non-profit organisations to mitigate adverse effects of urban sprawl in the Sky Harbour Neighbourhood in Phoenix. Participatory research was conducted to design and test a tree and shade intervention. Challenges associated with navigating community desires and broader principles of sustainable development are discussed. The study offers a replicable and adaptable intervention research design aimed at empowering communities to meet urban challenges.Corresponding Author:
