In PG(2, q), q a prime power, we study the set T of Baer subplanes that contain a fixed triangle PQR. To construct a linear rank 2–geometry over T , we determine the dihedral groups, their orders and possible extensions that are generated by the involutions of two Baer subplanes of T . If q+1 is an odd prime, the (q+1)2 Baer subplanes through the triangle PQR are the points of an affine plane A...

In Escherichia coli, there are 32 open reading frames (ORFs) that are assumed to be response regulator genes of two-component signal transduction systems on the basis of sequence similarities. We cloned all of these 32 ORFs into a multicopy expression vector and investigated whether or not they confer drug resistance via control of drug resistance determinants. Fifteen of these ORFs, i.e., baeR...

To facilitate the identification of appropriate post-fire watershed treatments and minimize erosion effects after socio-economically important fires, Interagency Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) teams produce initial timely estimates of the fire perimeter and classifications of burn severity, forest mortality, and vegetation mortality. Accurate, cost-effective, and minimal time-consu...

let $r$ be a right artinian ring or a perfect commutative‎‎ring‎. ‎let $m$ be a noncosingular self-generator $sum$-lifting‎‎module‎. ‎then $m$ has a direct decomposition $m=oplus_{iin i} m_i$‎,‎where each $m_i$ is noetherian quasi-projective and each‎‎endomorphism ring $end(m_i)$ is local‎.

When pure individual synthetic lecithins became available for study (Baer and Kates, 1949, 1950), there was immediate interest in their possible use in cardiolipin antigens as substitutes for Pangborn lecithin. Rosenberg (1949) reported briefly on synthetic L-c-(dipalmitoyl)-lecithin in antigens for the Hinton, Kline, Rein-Bossack, VDRL, and Kolmer tests. He found that replacement of Pangborn's...

Dogs are the principal transmitter of rabies to man and animals in most countries of Africa, Asia and South America, where they are responsible for over 95% of the human rabies cases reported world-wide (WHO, 1989). The clinical course of rabies in dogs and that it could be transmitted by bite has been known for over 4000 years (Tierkel, 1975). After the virus is introduced to the body by bite ...
