If z has order q* and n is of the form n =m+q, then either k= m(q*+q+ l), or k= (m+q)(q*-q+ 1). Obviously, in case m=O, K is a maximal arc. Moreover, if m = 1 and q is a prime power, then K is either a Baer subplane or a unital [lo]. Furthermore, m pairwise disjoint Baer subplanes of n always yield a set of type (m, m + q) and size m(q* + q + 1). In case rc is Desarguesian, such a set does exis...

In this paper we develop an algebraic framework that allows us to extend families of two-valued states on orthomodular lattices to Baer ∗semigroups. We apply this general approach to study the full class of two-valued states and the subclass of Jauch-Piron two-valued states on Baer ∗-semigroups.

Mutant 7F2 of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has a transposon inserted in the regulator gene baeR of a two-component system and showed a more-than-fourfold reduction in resistance to ceftriaxone. Complementation analysis suggested an association among the outer membrane proteins OmpW and STM3031, ceftriaxone resistance, and baeR.

in this paper, we introduce the concept of the   generalized aip-rings as a generalization of the generalized quasi-   baer rings   and generalized p.p.-rings. we show that the class of the generalized aip-rings is closed under direct products and morita invariance. we also characterize the 2-by-2 formal upper triangular matrix rings of this new class of rings. finally, we provide sever...
