We use this to classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of these finite W -algebras. / Committee in charge: Jonathan Brundan, Co-Chairperson, Mathematics; Victor Ostrik, Co-Chairperson, Mathematics; Arkady Berenstein, Member, Mathematics; Hal Sadofsky, Member, Mathematics; Christopher Wilson, Outside Member, Computer & Information Science

M.A. (African Languages) / The aim of this study is to endeavour to analyze the language and style in W.T. Matlala's Molato mpeng and Montshepetsa bosego. The study will focus on how the writer uses language, how he assumed a particular manner of narrating by meticulously using a mixture of his dialect and standard Northern Sotho. This is done in the introductory chapter. In the second chapter of our study we tried to develop a stylistic framework whose purpose is to inform the analysis of Matlala's two novels. In the third chapter of this study, an analysis of Matlala's two prose fictions will be undertaken. The choice of words, sentences and paragraphs will be analyzed. The fourth chapter of this work, will attempt to show how the writer has used imagery, proverbs, idioms and dialogue as other stylistic features to promote understanding and to bring images of the mind to the life of the literary work. Chapter five is the conclusion - we will look at how Matlala has synthesized all the stylistic features in communicating his emotions, attitudes, thoughts as well as giving freshness and vigour to his works.

A measurement of the W+ and W− cross section in the electron channel is presented. The measurement is performed using data collected with the ATLAS experiment in 2011, amounting to an integrated luminosity of 4.58 fb⁻¹. The centre of mass energy is √s = 7 TeV. The measurement is performed differentially in the electron pseudorapidity. The W charge asymmetry is also presented. The results are compared to theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD using various Parton Distribution Functions.
