This article reports on the evaluation of a demonstration program in which elderly residents of the Detroit area were provided foods through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Organized in a short period of time, the evaluation of this demonstration program had to take into account the realities of program needs, and lack of funding for the evaluation. Elderly participants in the Focus:Ho...

We study the crystal base of the negative part of a quantum group. An explicit realization of the crystal is given in terms of Young tableaux for types An, Bn, Cn, Dn, and G2. Connection between our realization and a previous realization of Cliff is also given.

Let U(KλG) be the group of units of an infinite twisted group algebra KλG over a field K. We describe the maximal FC-subgroup of U(KλG) and give a characterization of U(KλG) with finitely conjugacy classes. In the case of group algebras we obtain the Cliff-Sehgal-Zassenhaus’ theorem.

The analysis of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of small bioactive compounds is a central task in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical research. The study of SARs is in principle not limited to computational methods, however, as data sets rapidly grow in size, advanced computational approaches become indispensable for SAR analysis. Activity landscapes are one of the preferred and wide...
