The need to develop validated outcome measures to assess response to therapies in single joints has been recognized. In 2004, a task force was established to assess established and novel outcome measures in accordance with the OMERACT filter (truth, discrimination, and feasibility) for single joint assessment. This report describes the proceedings of the single joint assessment special interest...

let $g $ be a finite group and let $gamma(g)$ be the prime graph‎ ‎of g‎. ‎assume $2 < q = p^{alpha} < 100$‎. ‎we determine finite groups‎ ‎g such that $gamma(g) = gamma(u_3(q))$ and prove that if $q neq‎ ‎3‎, ‎5‎, ‎9‎, ‎17$‎, ‎then $u_3(q)$ is quasirecognizable by prime graph‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎if $g$ is a finite group with the same prime graph as the‎ ‎finite simple group $u_3(q)$‎, ‎then $g$ has a un...

let l := u3(11). in this article, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to l. in fact, we prove that l, l:2 and l:3 are od-characterizable, and l:s3 is 5-fold od-characterizable.

in this paper we will prove that the simple group g2(q) where 2 < q = 1(mod3)is recognizable by the set of its order components, also other word we prove that if g is a nite group with oc(g) = oc(g2(q)), then g is isomorphic to g2(q).

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...

We calculate the first Hochschild cohomology group of quantum matrices, the quantum general linear group and the quantum special linear group in the generic case when the deformation parameter is not a root of unity. As a corollary, we obtain information about twisted Hochschild homology of these algebras. 2000 Mathematics subject classification: 16E40, 16W35, 17B37, 17B40, 20G42

We study the identity problem for matrices, i.e., whether the identity matrix is in a semigroup generated by a given set of generators. In particular we consider the identity problem for the Special Linear Group following recent NP-completeness result for SL(2,Z) and the undecidability for SL(4,Z) generated by 48 matrices. In the seminal paper of Paterson in 1970, an injective morphism from pai...
