A New Construction of the Baby Monster and Its Applications

In this paper we show how to construct 4370 x 4370 matrices over GF(2), generating Fischer's {3,4}transposition group B, popularly known as the Baby Monster. This for the first time gives a construction which permits effective calculations to be performed in this very large simple group. We use this to give a new existence proof, and describe briefly applications to subgroup structure, geometry...

ICPD and its aftermath: throwing out the baby?

This article concerns the aftermath of the International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994. The discussion focuses on the visible paradigm shift accomplished at the Cairo conference. Previously, the concern was on population size relative to resources, and about the impact of population growth on the tempo and type of economic development. In the post Cairo era, ...

Cyclosporine and its metabolites in mother and baby.

become useful as a provocative and predictive test for early renal abnormalities. In summary, our data indicate that exercise microalbuminuria is not detected in most kidney donors and support the notion that the uninephrectomized state does not result in a progressive hyperfiltration nephropathy. In addition, longitudinal studies could reveal whether. a particular subset of donors with abnorma...

Attachment and spreading of baby hamster kidney cells to collagen substrata: effects of cold-insoluble globulin.

Studies have been carried out to determine the effects of cold-insoluble globulin (CIG) on the attachment and spreading of baby hamster kidney cells on various collagen substrata. Cell attachment to native collagen substrata occurred in the absence of CIG just as fast as attachment to dried collagen or gelatin substrata occurred in the presence of CIG. On the other hand, cell attachment to drie...
