The notion of vertex operator algebra ([B], [FHL], [FLM]) is the algebraic counterpart of the notion of what is now usually called “chiral algebra” in conformal field theory, and vertex operator algebra theory generalizes the theories of affine Lie algebras, the Virasoro algebra and representations (cf. [B], [DL], [FLM], [FZ]). It has been well known (cf. [FZ], [L1]) that the irreducible highes...

Rational vertex operator algebras, which play a fundamental role in rational conformal field theory (see [BPZ] and [MS]), single out an important class of vertex operator algebras. Most vertex operator algebras which have been studied so far are rational vertex operator algebras. Familiar examples include the moonshine module V ♮ ([B], [FLM], [D2]), the vertex operator algebras VL associated wi...

In a program to formulate and develop two-dimensional conformal field theory in the framework of algebraic geometry, Beilinson and Drinfeld [BD] have recently given a notion of “chiral algebra” in terms of D-modules on algebraic curves. This definition consists of a “skew-symmetry” relation and a “Jacobi identity” relation in a categorical setting, and it leads to the operator product expansion...

It is proved that the vertex operator algebra V is isomorphic to the moonshine VOA V ♮ of Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman if it satisfies conditions (a,b,c,d) or (a,b,c,d). These conditions are: (a) V is the only irreducible module for itself and V is C2-cofinite; (a) dimVn ≤ dimV ♮ n for n ≥ 3; (b) the central charge is 24; (c) V1 = 0; (d) V2 (under the first product on V ) is isomorphic to the Gries...

FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM), a component of the thermosensory flowering time pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, is regulated by temperature-dependent alternative splicing (AS). The main splicing variant, FLM-β, is a well-documented floral repressor that is down-regulated in response to increasing ambient growth temperature. Two hypotheses have been formulated to explain how flowering time is modulate...

Soil sorption and dissipation of fluometuron (FLM) and three metabolites, desmethyl fluometuron (DMF), trifluoromethyl phenyl urea (TFMPU), and trifluoromethyl aniline (TFMA), were assessed in conservation tillage soils. In study I, surface Dundee silt loam soils from no-tillage (NT) and reduced-tillage (RT) areas were treated with 14C ring-labeled FLM or TFMA or unlabeled DMF, incubated for 34...

Cool ambient temperatures are major cues determining flowering time in spring. The mechanisms promoting or delaying flowering in response to ambient temperature changes are only beginning to be understood. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM) regulates flowering in the ambient temperature range and FLM is transcribed and alternatively spliced in a temperature-dependent manner. We id...

We introduce a general non-Gaussian, self-similar, stochastic process called the fractional Lévy motion (fLm). We formally expand the family of traditional fractal network traffic models, by including the fLm process. The main findings are the probability density function of the fLm process, several scaling results related to a singleserver infinite buffer queue fed by fLm traffic, e.g., scalin...

To determine the toxic effects of long-term topical usage of fluorometholone (FLM) on ganglion cells using a direct in vivo retinopathological Brown Norway (BN) rat model. The BN rat retinal model was investigated with a minimum of 3 rats and a maximum of 4 rats per group. Rats received vehicle and 0.02% FLM suspension via topical administration 3 times a day for 28 days. The fundus images and ...
