MRC-5 cells grown in shell vials from three suppliers (Whittaker Bioproducts, Bartels, and ViroMed) were evaluated for sensitivity to human cytomegalovirus. Previous studies done in our laboratory showed that treatment of the cells with dexamethasone (DEX) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or these agents plus calcium improved the sensitivity of cells from Whittaker. In this study, we compared the ...

Abstract We study a discrete-time Markov process on triangular arrays of matrices size $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 , driven by inverse Wishart random matrices. The components the right edge evolve as multiplicative walks positive definite with one-sided interactio...

1.1. Steve Gelbart, Whittaker models and the metaplectic group. The metaplectic double cover of Sp(2r) and the Weil representation were introduced by Weil [37] in order to formulate results of Siegel on theta functions in the adelic setting. This was followed by two initially independent developments. First, Shimura [32], [33] gave two extremely important constructions involving modular forms o...

and the Whittaker models of the inducing representation π M (cf. Theorem 2 of [4]). In this paper, Rodier’s theorem on the “heredity” of Whittaker models is extended to the non-algebraic setting of the n-fold metaplectic cover G̃ of G, where n is a positive integer such that F contains all of the n-th roots of unity. The main result is stated as a theorem in §2. In order to illustrate the situat...

We consider exponential functionals of a multi-dimensional Brownian motion with drift, defined via a collection of linear functionals. We give a characterisation of the Laplace transform of their joint law as the unique bounded solution, up to a constant factor, to a Schrödinger-type partial differential equation. We derive a similar equation for the probability density. We then characterise al...

Abstract.In this paper, the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials are introduced, starting from the hypergeometric matrix function. Integral form, Rodrigues’s formula and generating matrix function are then developed for the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials. These polynomials appear as finite series solutions of second-order matrix differential equations and orthogonality property for the ...
