In this paper and its sequel we continue our study of nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. In particular we give a full classification of such algebras of dimension 10 over any field. It is known that symplectic alternating algebras over GF(3) correspond to a special rich class C of 2-Engel 3-groups of exponent 27 and under this correspondance we will see that the nilpotent algebras corre...

let $h$, $l$ and $x$ be subgroups of a finite group$g$. then $h$ is said to be $x$-permutable with $l$ if for some$xin x$ we have $al^{x}=l^{x}a$. we say that $h$ is emph{$x$-quasipermutable } (emph{$x_{s}$-quasipermutable}, respectively) in $g$ provided $g$ has a subgroup$b$ such that $g=n_{g}(h)b$ and $h$ $x$-permutes with $b$ and with all subgroups (with all sylowsubgroups, respectively) $v$...

Acupressure applied on the Extra 1 acupuncture point results in sedation, thereby reducing bispectral index (BIS) values. Mental status and hypnotic agents influence the autonomic nervous system. We hypothesized that acupressure at the Extra 1 point would induce sedation and change sympatho-parasympathetic nerve balance. We investigated the effect of acupressure at the Extra 1 point on the EEG ...

The third meeting of the Special Interest Group (SIG) for Text Mining was held in conjunction with ISMB in Australia this year, following the 2001 meeting in Copenhagen and the 2002 meeting in Edmonton. The Text Mining SIG has been organized by the BioLINK group (http://www.pdg.cnb.uam.es/BioLINK), with its main contributors Lynette Hirschman (MITRE, Bedford, MA, USA) and Alfonso Valencia (CNB,...

This report summarizes the proceedings of the "Metagenomics, Metadata and Meta-analysis" (M3) Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting held at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology 2009 conference. The Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) hosted this meeting to explore the bottlenecks and emerging solutions for obtaining biological insights through large-scale comparative analysis of metageno...

This note collects several results on the capability of p-groups of class two and prime exponent. Among our results, we settle the 4-generator case for this class. Introduction. In this note we collect sundry results related to the capability of finite p-groups of class two and prime exponent, using the approach introduced in [6]. We restrict to odd primes, since the case of abelian groups is w...

let $g={rm sl}_2(p^f)$ be a special linear group and $p$ be a sylow‎ ‎$2$-subgroup of $g$‎, ‎where $p$ is a prime and $f$ is a positive‎ ‎integer such that $p^f>3$‎. ‎by $n_g(p)$ we denote the normalizer of‎ ‎$p$ in $g$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we show that $n_g(p)$ is nilpotent (or‎ ‎$2$-nilpotent‎, ‎or supersolvable) if and only if $p^{2f}equiv‎ ‎1,({rm mod},16)$‎.

let $g$ be a finite $p$-soluble group‎, ‎and $p$ a sylow $p$-subgroup of $g$‎. ‎it is proved‎ ‎that if all elements of $p$ of order $p$ (or of order ${}leq 4$ for $p=2$) are‎ ‎contained in the $k$-th term of the upper central series of $p$‎, ‎then the $p$-length of‎ ‎$g$ is at most $2m+1$‎, ‎where $m$ is the greatest integer such that‎ ‎$p^m-p^{m-1}leq k$‎, ‎and the exponent of the image of $p$...
