Gauss-Manin connections for p-adic families of nearly overconvergent modular forms [PDF]
We interpolate the Gauss-Manin connection in p-adic families of nearly overconvergent modular forms. This gives a family of Maass-Shimura type differential operators from the space of nearly overconvergent modular forms of type r to the space of nearly ...

Permanent Modular Construction: Construction Performance
This paper reports on a portion of a study to determine the construction performance of permanent modular construction (PMC) with the goal to verify industry claims of cost and schedule. The research uses a test bed of international PMC case studies. The PMC projects recorded provide a sample to evaluate the performance metrics attributed to off-site ...
