The original Novikov conjecture concerns the (oriented) homotopy invariance of higher signatures of manifolds and is equivalent to the rational injectivity of the assembly map in surgery theory. The integral injectivity of the assembly map is important for other purposes and is called the integral Novikov conjecture. There are also assembly maps in other theories and hence related Novikov and i...

Cross-inhibition by quorum-sensing pheromones between Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was investigated using all known S. aureus agr pheromone subgroups. All S. aureus subgroups were sensitive towards the S. epidermidis pheromone, with the exception of the recently identified subgroup 4. The subgroup 4 pheromone was also the only S. aureus pheromone able to inhibit the S. e...

This paper describes a 8–32 kb/s embedded speech codec submitted as a candidate for the ITU-T Embedded Variable Bit Rate (EV-VBR) standardization. The coder is built upon a 2-stage coding structure consisting of embedded ACELP coding from 8 to 16kb/s and embedded TCX coding at 24 and 32 kb/s. The coder is designed to support bandwidth scalability (narrow band and wide band signal) and bit-rate ...

Using s-norm S, we introduce the notion of sensible fuzzy R-subgroups in near-rings, and some related properties are investigated. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 03G25, 03E72.

We construct here many families of K3 surfaces that one can obtain as quotients algebraic by some subgroups the rank four complex reflection groups. find in total 15 with at worst $ADE$--singularities. In particular we classify all be obtained derived subgroup previous prove our results using geometry weighted projective spaces where these are embedded and theory Springer Lehrer-Springer on pro...

We consider the extended Hecke groupsH(λp) generated by T (z) = −1/z, S(z) = −1/(z+λp) and R(z) = 1/ z̄ with λp = 2 cos(π/p) for p ≥ 3 prime number. In this article, we study the abstract group structure of the extended Hecke groups and the power subgroups H m (λp) of H(λp). Then, we give the relations between commutator subgroups and power subgroups and also the information of interest about fr...

Abstract A group is called quasihamiltonian if all its subgroups are permutable, and we say that a subgroup Q of G permutably embedded in $\langle Q,g\rangle $ for each element g . It proved here contains normal such $G/Q$ ?ernikov, then has finite index; moreover, periodic, it ?ernikov N $G/N$ quasihamiltonian. This result should be compared with theorems Schlette stating over centre, abelian-...

BACKGROUND The West-Haven Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) can be used to describe behavioural and psychosocial consequences of long-term pain but little is known about how MPI items and MPI subgroups relate to goals that patients find important in rehabilitation. Life satisfaction measured by the LiSat-11 checklist can be defined as an individual's perception of the difference between his...

S. Gersten announced an algorithm that takes as input two finite sequences K →=(K 1 ,⋯,K N ) and ′ of conjugacy classes finitely generated subgroups F n outputs:
