LetG be a finite p-group,K a field of characteristic p, and J the radical of the group algebra K[G]. We study modular representations using some new results of the theory of extensions of modules. More precisely, we describe the K[G]-modules M such that J2M = 0 and give some properties and isomorphism invariants which allow us to compute the number of isomorphism classes of K[G]-modulesM such t...

Evidence suggests that compression and shear wave elastography are sensitive to the mechanical property changes occuring in dying cells following chemotherapy, and can hence be used to monitor cancer treatment response. A qualitative and quantitative understanding of the mechanical changes at the cellular level would allow to better infer how these changes affect macroscopic tissue mechanical p...

We introduce the cylindrical module A♮H, where H is a Hopf algebra with S2 = idH and A is a Hopf module algebra over H. We show that there exists a cyclic map between the cyclic module of the crossed product algebra A⋊H and ∆(A♮H), the cyclic module related to the diagonal of A♮H. In the cocommutative case, ∆(A♮H) ∼= C•(A ⋊H). Finally we approximate ∆(A♮H) by a spectral sequence and we give an ...

This paper focuses on the geometric theory of scroll compressor, which includes the determination of the discharge angle, the calculation of the volume in different compression stages, the axial gas force under the condition that the number of scroll turns equals an arbitrary real number.

ObjectivesTo our knowledge no previous study has assessed the performance of a rapid antigen diagnostic immunoassay (RAD) conducted at point care (POC). We evaluated Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device for diagnosis coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) in symptomatic patients (n = 412) attending primary healthcare centres.MethodsRAD was performed immediately after sampling following manufactur...

Six double mutants and a quadruple mutant were derived from four UV radiation-hypersensitive single mutants (rad-1, rad-2, rad-3 and rad-7). Sensitivities of the 11 strains to UV, gamma-radiation and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) were compared. Of the six double mutants, only the rad-1;rad-2 and rad-3;rad-7 doubles were no more hypersensitive than the most sensitive single mutant to UV-radiatio...

The use of the bone marrow culture technique was studied as a means to prepare donor marrow for bone marrow transplantation to avoid lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Preliminary experiments demonstrated the rapid loss of theta-positive cells in such cultures, so that theta-positive cells were not detected after 6 days. Initial experiments in C3H/HeJ (H-2k, Hbbd) recipients prepared with...

(b) There are several ways to construct linear-phase FIR filters, including windowing the IDTFT of an ideal response, but in order to ensure a minimax-optimal filter (i.e., a filter that minimizes the maximum deviation from a piecewise-constant ideal specification), the way we know is via the Parks-McClellan approach. In fact. this filter was designed in Matlab as: >> h = firpm(8, [0 0.55 0.65 ...
