Here, we review what is known about the molecular nature of these genes, which...

THE RATIONAL CHARACTER TABLE OF SPECIAL LINEAR GROUPS

In this paper we will give the character table of the irreducible rational representations of G=SL (2, q) where q= , p prime, n>O, by using the character table and the Schur indices of SL(2,q).

Whereas many readers may have first become intrigued by chemistry after seeing some striking demonstration in their childhood, or by playing around with a chemistry set, others like myself may have been taken by the elegance and comple...
