    Solvable Leibniz algebras with triangular nilradical

    Full text link
    A classification exists for Lie algebras whose nilradical is the triangular Lie algebra T(n)T(n). We extend this result to a classification of all solvable Leibniz algebras with nilradical T(n)T(n). As an example we show the complete classification of all Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is T(4)T(4).Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1307.844

    Design, optimisation and preliminary validation of a human specific loop-mediated amplification assay for the rapid detection of human DNA at forensic crime scenes

    The identification of samples at a crime scene which require forensic DNA typing has been the focus of recent research interest. We propose a simple, but sensitive analysis system which can be deployed at a crime scene to identify crime scene stains as human or non-human. The proposed system uses the isothermal amplification of DNA in a rapid assay format, which returns results in as little as 30 min from sampling. The assay system runs on the Genie II device, a proven in-field detection system which could be deployed at a crime scene. The results presented here demonstrate that the system was sufficiently specific and sensitive and was able to detect the presence of human blood, semen and saliva on mock forensic samples

    A Frattini Theory for Leibniz Algebras

    Full text link
    A Frattini theory for non-associative algebras was developed by Towers and results for particular classes of algebras have appeared in various articles. Especially plentiful are results on Lie algebras. It is the purpose of this paper to extend some of the Lie algebra results to Leibniz algebras

    Relationship Between Early Feeding and Communication Development in Infants: Birth To 12 Months

    Introduction: Anecdotal reports suggest that infants experiencing early feeding difficulties may have delays in communication development. Methods: The first stage of the study involved the development of a theoretically based assessment protocol to test the hypothesis of linked or independent processes required for feeding and speech. The assessment protocol will be piloted on 10 full term and 10 preterm infants at birth, 4, 8 and 12 months post term age. Measures of inter-judge and intra-judge reliability will also be taken of the observation protocol. Observation of the infant\u27s language, speech, environment and maternal relationship will also be conducted to determine the nature and impact of environmental and social factors on feeding and/or speech and language development. Results: To be analysed. Conclusion: It is hypothesised that infants experiencing early feeding difficulties and delay will also experience later speech and language delay. Massey, S. J., Hird, K.

    Codes and shifted codes

    Full text link
    The action of the Bernstein operators on Schur functions was given in terms of codes in [CG] and extended to the analog in Schur Q-functions in [HJS]. We define a new combinatorial model of extended codes and show that both of these results follow from a natural combinatorial relation induced on codes. The new algebraic structure provides a natural setting for Schur functions indexed by compositions
