The ORF1 sequence was determined for Camberwell virus, a genogroup 2 Norwalk-like virus, completing the full genome of 7,555 nucleotides. ORF1 cDNA was cloned into a simian virus 40-based expression vector, and the viral proteins synthesized following transfection into COS cells were analyzed. By using antisera directed against the helicase, protease, or polymerase regions, eight polypeptides r...

A comparison of Josephson Voltage Standards (JVS) between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Centro Nacional de Metrología (CENAM) held at CENAM from 21 to 23 of March 2006 is reported. The comparison was made at the 10 V level by measuring four Zener references using the JVS of CENAM and the transportable Compact Josephson Voltage Standard (CJVS) of NIST. The dif...

Generalized hypersubstitutions were introduced by S. Leeratanavalee and K. Denecke as a way of making precise the concepts of strong hyperidentity and M strong hyperidentity. A variety V is called M strongly solid if every identity of V is an M strong hyperidentity. We produce a monoid M for which the k-normalized variety Nv k (V ) of an N -strongly solid variety V with respect to a valuation v...

The modeling and analysis of networks and network data has seen an explosion of interest in recent years and represents an exciting direction for potential growth in statistics. Despite the already substantial amount of work done in this area to date by researchers from various disciplines, however, there remain many questions of a decidedly foundational nature - natural analogues of standard q...
