The purpose of this paper is to introduce some new classes of rings and modules that are closely related to the classes of almost Dedekind domains and almost Dedekind modules. We introduce the concepts of $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and $\Phi$-almost Dedekind modules and study some properties of this classes. In this paper we get some equivalent conditions for $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and ...

we give a survey of recent applications of group rings to combinatorics and tocryptography, including their use in the di erential cryptanalysis of block ciphers.

The transport of Balbiani ring (BR) premessenger RNP particles in the larval salivary gland cells of the dipteran Chironomus tentans can be followed using electron microscopy. A BR RNP particle consists of an RNP ribbon bent into a ringlike structure. Upon translocation through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), the ribbon is straightened and enters the central channel of the NPC with the 5' end o...

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed sulfenylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with N-(arylthio)phthalimide has been developed. A wide variety of α-thioenals can be obtained with good to excellent yields and excellent Z-configuration.

In this paper we construct a q-deformation of the Witt-Burnside ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring, where q ranges over the ring of integers. When q = 1, this coincides with the Witt-Burnside ring introduced by A. To achieve our goal we show that there exists a q-deformation of the necklace ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring. As in the classical case, i.e., the cas...

The following result is proved: Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring, and let T : R → R be an additive mapping, related to a surjective homomorphism θ : R → R, such that 2T (x2) = T (x)θ(x) + θ(x)T (x) for all x ∈ R. Then T is both a left and a right θ-centralizer.

Given a complex matrix H, we consider the decomposition H = QRP∗, where R is upper triangular and Q and P have orthonormal columns. Special instances of this decomposition include the singular value decomposition (SVD) and the Schur decomposition where R is an upper triangular matrix with the eigenvalues of H on the diagonal. We show that any diagonal for R can be achieved that satisfies Weyl’s...

For little q-Jacobi polynomials and q-Hahn polynomials we give particular q-hypergeometric series representations in which the termwise q = 0 limit can be taken. When rewritten in matrix form, these series representations can be viewed as LU factorizations. We develop a general theory of LU factorizations related to complete systems of orthogonal polynomials with discrete orthogonality relation...
