These are notes from the course MAT4270 on representation theory, autumn 2015. The lectures were held by Sergey Neshyevey. The notes are mine, as well as any mistakes. The first half is about representations of finite groups, the second half about representations of compact Lie groups.

I am tremendously honored to receive the 2012 Women in Cell Biology Junior Award. In this essay, I recount my career path over the past 15 years. Although many details are specific to my own experiences, I hope that some generalizations can be made to encourage more women to pursue independent scientific careers. Mine is a story of choosing a captivating question, making the most of your opport...

I am honored to have been asked to participate in the symposium honoring Bob Sadoff. He has been one of my closest friends for over 30 years and has been an inspiration to me at every stage of my career. I was especially gratified that I was asked to speak about the history and development of mental disability law, in large part because of Bob’s (to a great extent, unknown) influence on that de...

Jacob Henle was a great German anatomist and one of the most important histologists of all times. One of the most commonly used eponymous terms in renal histology is the loop of Henle, but many other anatomical and pathological findings are associated with his name. During his stay in Zurich he fell in love with Elise Egolff who worked as a maid and seamstress in the house of one of his friends...

In mine roadway support operations, floor bolting not only played a role in floor heave control, but also in reinforcing roof and its two sides. Correspondingly, bolting of roof and two sides also played a part in floor heave control. To quantify the effect of such bolting, based on roadway support in extremely weak rock, three physical models were produced and tested in laboratory. Through com...

In the December number of the Indian Medical Gazette of 1882 and the February number of 1883 two papers of mine appeared on my first twenty cases of litholapaxy. These cases represented my experience of the operation up to the end of 1882. During the year 1883 I performed litholapaxy in 57cases, and in the present paper I propose reviewing these, and making some further practical observations w...

Placement of the division site at midcell in Escherichia coli requires the MinE protein. MinE acts by imparting topological specificity to the MinCD division inhibitor, preventing the inhibitor from acting at the midcell site while permitting it to block division at other unwanted sites along the length of the cell. It was previously shown that MinE assembled into a ring structure that appeared...

15053 Background: The prognosis of metastatic uterine sarcoma is poor with median survival reported between 4 to 26 months. We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of ifosfamide (I) mesna (M) and doxorubicin (A) (IMA) chemotherapy regimen retrospectively in patients (pts) with metastatic, or recurrent uterine sarcomas. METHODS Eligible patients had measurable recurrent or metastatic disease, E...

Biochemical reactors (BCRs) based on the stimulation of sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are emerging semi-passive remediation technologies for treatment of mine-influenced water. Their successful removal of metals and sulphate has been proven at the pilot-scale, but little is known about the types of SRM that grow in these systems and whether they are diverse or restricted to particular ...
