Stanley Mason - Biorheologist and friend

Arthur and Mason

After specific activation by antigen, B cells differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells under the influence of a variety of factors (iymphokines) secreted by inducer/helper T cells (1-3). It is not yet clear how many lymphokines are specific for B cells but one, IL-2, has been shown to bind to both activated B cells and activated T cells (4-7), suggesting that at least one lymphokine r...

Block Mason

Hardware virtualization gives administrators the flexibility to rapidly create, destroy and relocate virtual machines across physical hosts. Unfortunately, the storage systems upon which these systems depend are not nearly as agile. To facilitate the rapid, safe development of block devices that can meet the needs of virtual machines, we present the Block Mason virtual block device framework. A...

Stanley Decompositions and Polarization

We define nice partitions of the multicomplex associated with a Stanley ideal. As the main result we show that if the monomial ideal I is a CM Stanley ideal, then I is a Stanley ideal as well, where I is the polarization of I .

Mason: morphological simplification

† S by replacing them with more regular features, but to leave unchanged the portions of the shape and of its complement that lie away from these features. Prior simplification solutions lacked a formal characterization of the regions with high frequency features and thus were not able to confine the simplification to these regions. To overcome this deficiency, we provide a formal definition of...
