By means of dibucaine inhibition (Kalow and Genest, 1957) it was found possible to differentiate three inherited serum cholinesterase phenotypes, those homozygous for the usual enzyme, homozygotes of the atypical enzyme and heterozygous individuals (Kalow and Staron, 1957). Harris and Whittaker (1961) then showed that sodium fluoride could be used to differentiate the serum cholinesterase varia...

Motivated by the study of invariant rings of finite groups on the first Weyl algebras A1 ([1]) and finding interesting families of new noetherian rings, a class of algebras similar to U(sl2) were introduced and studied by Smith in [13]. Since the introduction of these algebras, research efforts have been focused on understanding their weight modules, and many important results were already obta...

We establish a link between certain Whittaker coefficients of the generalized metaplectic theta functions, first studied by Kazhdan and Patterson [15], and the coefficients of the stable Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series defined in [3]. The generalized theta functions are the residues of Eisenstein series on a metaplectic n-fold cover of the general linear group. For n sufficiently large, we...

As further generalizations of Uq(sl2), an interesting class of algebras Uq(f(K,H)) was introduced and studied in [10]. In this paper, we further study these algebras by realizing them as Hyperbolic algebras. Such a realization yields a natural construction of interesting families of irreducible representations of Uq(f(K,H)) by using methods in non-commutative algebraic geometry([16]). We also i...

In theMongolian steppes, livestock and burrowing rodents are the main animal modifiers of the habitat. Although grazing lands and rodent habitats overlap, the combined effects of livestock and rodent disturbance on spatial heterogeneity of plants and soil have rarely been evaluated. We established study plots at each of four sites: sites heavily grazed by livestock, with and without marmots, an...

Interactive Visual Analysis has been widely used for the reason that it allows users to investigate highly complex data in coordinated multiple views, showing different perspectives over data. In order to relate data, multiple techniques of brushing have been introduced. This work extends the state of the art by introducing the Convex Hull (CH) Brush, which is a new way of selecting and interpr...

It is becoming increasingly apparent that lipids act as essential structural elements in the multienzyme systems associated with the cell organelles. Many of the enzymes of the electron-transport chain in mitochondria can be isolated as discrete lipoproteins (Green, 1959), and the phospholipid contained in these is essential for enzymic activity (Reich & Wainio, 1961). Moreover, lipids play a f...
