The authors exhibit an abelian group not embeddable in a product of copies of Z (the integers) but totally orderable so that every covering pair of convex subgroups has archimedean quotient isomorphic to Z (= g.d.), thus furnishing a counterexample to Théorème 4 on p. 53 of [21]; then go on to show that every countable g.d. group is algebraically free (§4); and purport to show it also embeddabl...

Many sensory regions integrate information ascending from peripheral receptors with descending inputs from other central structures. However, the significance of these descending inputs remains poorly understood. Descending inputs are prominent in the electrosensory system of mormyrid fish and include both recurrent connections from higher to lower stages of electrosensory processing and electr...

Let F be a number field, and π an isobaric ([La]), algebraic ([Cl1]) automorphic representation of GLn(AF ). We will call π quasi-regular iff at every archimedean place v of F , the associated n-dimensional representation σv of the Weil group WFv (defined by the archimedean local correspondence) is multiplicity free. For example, when n = 2 and F = Q, a cuspidal π is quasi-regular exactly when ...

To perform the jamming avoidance response (JAR), the weakly electric fish Gymnarchus detects time disparities on the order of microseconds between electrosensory signals received by electroreceptors in different parts of the body surface. This paper describes time-disparity thresholds of output neurons of the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL), where the representation of timing information...

Type-1 immunity plays a crucial role in host defense against various tumors and infectious diseases. Here, we first demonstrated that extract of Larix Leptolepis (ELL), one of the most popular timbers at Hokkaido area in Japan, strongly activated Type-1 immunity. ELL induced production of Type-1 cytokines such as IL-12 and TNF-α from bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in TLR2- and TLR4...

The present study was conducted to investigate the students‟ attitudes towards English language learning (ELL) and use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies at one college in Dak Lak, Vietnam. This study involved 241 non-English majors taking part in answering a questionnaire. The results showed that although the participants had positive attitudes towards ELL, they were likely to engage ...

MLL is fused to ENL or ELL in acute leukemias that contain t(ll;19)(q23;p13). Although ENL and ELL localize to chromosome 19, bands p13.3 and p13.1, respectively, these breakpoints are not always readily distinguished by standard cytogenetics. We therefore used reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays to analyze 26 cases of childhood acute leukemia containing t(11;19) to ...
