Recently, the first author has studied hook length formulas for partitions in a systematic manner. In the present paper we show that most of those hook length formulas can be generalized and include more variables via the Littlewood decomposition, which maps each partition to its t-core and t-quotient. In the case t = 2 we obtain new formulas by combining the hook lengths and BG-ranks introduce...

Commitment to Cooperation and Peer Punishment: Its Evolution Tatsuya Sasaki, Isamu Okada, Satoshi Uchida and Xiaojie Chen This file includes: Supplementary Text, Sections S1 and S2 Supplementary Figures, Figure S1 S1. Replicator Dynamics in Donation Games with Deposit-Based Commitment We analyze the replicator dynamics in the case of deposit-based commitment to costly peer punishment. Let xS an...

We conjecture a strong property for the up and down maps U and D in an r-differential poset: DU + tI and UD + tI have Smith normal forms over Z[t]. In particular, this would determine the integral structure of the maps U, D, UD, DU , including their ranks in any characteristic. As evidence, we prove the conjecture for the Young-Fibonacci lattice YF studied by Okada and its r-differential genera...

Let X be a Banach space, Σ σ-algebra, and m:Σ→X (countably additive) vector measure. It is well known consequence of the Davis-Figiel-Johnson-Pełczyński factorization procedure that there exist reflexive space Y, measure m˜:Σ→Y an injective operator J:Y→X such m factors as m=J∘m˜. We elaborate some theory factoring measures their integration operators with help isometric version procedure. Alon...

Starch gel electrophoresis according to Okada & Sasaki (1970) revealed six regions of esterase activity designated I to VI. Further genetic variation was found in esterase region 111 in this study. Two phenotypes, A and 0, were observed by means of urea denaturation of chicken liver extracts. These were genetically controlled by an autosomal locus, designated as Es-9, with a Completely dominant...

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to present evidence for a simple conjectural relation between eigenvalues and invariant factors of incidence matrices associated with adjacent ranks in differential posets. The conjectural relation yields the Smith invariants immediately, as the eigenvalues are completely understood [3, 15]. Furthermore, we consider more general structures: dual graded graphs ...

The gallbladder is a relatively well-protected organ; consequently its rupture following blunt abdominal injury is rare and usually associated with other visceral injuries. Isolated gallbladder rupture is extremely rare. We report a healthy Nigerian adult male who sustained isolated gallbladder rupture following blunt abdominal injury from riding a motor cycle (Okada). A high index of suspicion...
