The vanishing of ordinary determinant tells that a group of linear equations possesses non-trivial solutions. Hyperdeterminant [1] generalizes this notion to a situation in which one has homogenous multilinear equations. The notion has applications to the description of quantum entanglement and has stimulated interest in physics blogs [2, 3]. Hyperdeterminant applies to hyper-matrices with n ma...

IgG class antibodies against human IgM were detected in a human subject up to a titer of 1:1024 against 5 of a group of 23 monoclonal Waldenström macroglobulins. Inhibition studies confirmed at least one antigenic determinant shared by the 5 IgMs. The determinant was present on the mu chain but required tertiary structure for its full expression. Inhibition of the reaction between the antibodie...

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over C. A pair (E, φ) over X consists of an algebraic vector bundle E over X and a section φ ∈ H(E). There is a concept of stability for pairs which depends on a real parameter τ . Here we prove that the third cohomology groups of the moduli spaces of τ -stable pairs with fixed determinant and rank n ≥ 2 are polarised pure Hodge structures, and ...

The genetic determinant for streptolysin S production (SLS+) was successfully transduced to two naturally occurring nonhemolytic strains of group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes), an M-type 18 strain associated with an outbreak of rheumatic fever and an M-negative variant of a type 49 strain isolated from a skin lesion. Attempts to transduce this determinant to a nonhemolytic M-type 68 s...

Previous studies based on an attributional analysis of persuasion have suggested that a source who takes an unexpected position is perceived as more trustworthy and accurate than one who argues for an expected position. As a result, message processing is decreased when expectancies are violated compared to when they are confirmed. The current researchsuggests that these findings are limited to ...

containing a large amount of neutral sugars showed no complement fixation inhibition. while a O.5N HCI eluate containing proteins alone and one containing proteins and hexosamine showed a slight complenient fixation inhibition, The remaval of lipids from the type specific antigen by hydrolyzing with 1 N HCI for 4 minutes, followed by dialysis, revealed a very strong complement fixation inhibiti...

In the present study we show that the H (0) blood group determinant Fuc alpha1-2Gal beta1-4GlcNAc beta1-R is present on N-linked glycans of soluble human L-selectin recombinantly expressed in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The glycans were isolated using complementary HPLC techniques and characterized by a combination of exoglycosidase digestion and mass spectrometry. The linkage of the fucos...

We consider the covariance selection problem where variables are clustered into groups and the inverse covariance matrix is expected to have a blockwise sparse structure. This problem is realized via penalizing the maximum likelihood estimation of the inverse covariance matrix by group Lasso regularization. We propose to solve the resulting log-determinant optimization problem with the classica...
