Thirteen newly isolated monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were used to study relationships between reovirus outer capsid proteins sigma 3, mu 1c, and lambda 2 (core spike) and the cell attachment protein sigma 1. We focused on sigma 1-associated properties of serotype specificity and hemagglutination (HA). Competition between MAbs revealed two surface epitopes on mu 1c that were highly conserved bet...

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field‎. ‎Let $sigma$ and $tau$ be finite-dimensional representations of the Weil-Deligne group of $F$‎. ‎We give strong upper and lower bounds for the Artin and Swan exponents of $sigmaotimestau$ in terms of those of $sigma$ and $tau$‎. ‎We give a different lower bound in terms of $sigmaotimeschecksigma$ and $tauotimeschecktau$‎. ‎Using the Langlands...

The specificity of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase for target promotes is largely due to the replaceable sigma subunit that it carries. Multiple sigma proteins, each conferring a unique promoter preference on RNA polymerase, are likely to be present in all bacteria; however, their abundance and diversity have been best characterized in Bacillus subtilis, the bacterium in which multiple sigma facto...

in the present paper a solution of the generalizedquadratic functional equation$$f(kx+ y)+f(kx+sigma(y))=2k^{2}f(x)+2f(y),phantom{+} x,yin{e}$$ isgiven where $sigma$ is an involution of the normed space $e$ and$k$ is a fixed positive integer. furthermore we investigate thehyers-ulam-rassias stability of the functional equation. thehyers-ulam stability on unbounded domains is also studied.applic...

let $gamma$ be a normal subgroup of the full automorphism group $aut(g)$ of a group $g$‎, ‎and assume that $inn(g)leq gamma$‎. ‎an endomorphism $sigma$ of $g$ is said to be {it $gamma$-central} if $sigma$ induces the the identity on the factor group $g/c_g(gamma)$‎. ‎clearly‎, ‎if $gamma=inn(g)$‎, ‎then a $gamma$-central endomorphism is a {it central} endomorphism‎. ‎in this article the conditi...
