Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over Fp and let F : G → G be a Frobenius endomorphism endowing G with an Fq-rational structure. Bonnafé–Michel have shown that the Mackey formula for Deligne–Lusztig induction and restriction holds for the pair (G, F) except in the case where q = 2 and G has a quasi-simple component of type E6, E7, or E8. Using their techniques we show that if q = ...

We investigated three methods for determination of cholinesterase (ChE) in human blood sera, using reference sera, sera of known ChE content, and serum variously diluted with deactivated sera. The methods were the Du Pont aca analyzer, the Pfizer "ChE-tel" method, and the Michel method with and without direct reagent-blank correction. With respect to precision and reproducibility the methods ra...

Introduction: IAChE (acetylcholinesterase) is one of the plasma’s enzymes that plays a crucial role in nervous signal transduction in synapses and is responsible for the hydrolysis of Ach. Material & Method: We investigated three methods for the determination of AChE in human blood serum, using three different assays. Michel methods are based on the measurement of hydrogen ion produced in pro...

We describe a few applications of semideenite programming in combinatorial optimization. Semideenite programming is a special case of convex programming where the feasible region is an aane subspace of the cone of positive semideenite matrices. There has been much interest in this area lately, partly because of applications in com-binatorial optimization and in control theory and also because o...

The point (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) ∈ P1, i.e. it satisfies the constraints above; however it is not in the convex hull of the matching vectors. The above example motivates the following family of additional constraints (introduced by Edmonds). Observe that for any matching M , the subgraph induced by M on any odd cardinality vertex subset U has at most (|U | − 1)/2 edges. Thus, without losing any of the...

In 1863, Michel described a condition characterized by a total absence of differentiated inner ear structures associated with other skull base anomalies, including an abnormal course of the facial nerve and jugular veins. Michel aplasia clearly differs from Michel dysplasia, in which arrest of embryologic development occurs later. Recently, the role of otic capsule formation on mesenchymal diff...

The patients of today are more often than previously said to act as consumers towards healthcare. However, the definition of the concept of consumer is often unclear and not based on theory. The present paper applies a theoretical framework that emphasizes the role of technological devices for the construction of calculating consumers as outlined by Michel Callon. The focus is on to what extent...

This paper explores the different yet complementary aspects of the panopticon and the panspectron using the case study of the Israeli controlled Palestinian territory, the Gaza Strip. Beginning with a brief theoretical discussion of the concept of panopticon and panspectron expanding on the existing literature, the paper moves on to discuss the implementation of panoptical and panspectral techn...
