    Notes: Abstract We investigate, for a given martingaleM={M n: n≥0}, the conditions for the existence of polynomialsP(·,·) of two variables, “time” and “space,” and of arbitrary degree in the latter, such that{P(n, M n)} is a martingale for the natural filtration ofM. Denoting by ℘ the vector space of all such polynomials, we ask, in particular, when such a sequence can be chosen so as to span ℘. A complete necessary and sufficient condition is obtained in the case whenM has independent increments. For generalM, we obtain a necessary condition which entails, under mild additional hypotheses, thatM is necessarily Markovian. Considering a slightly more general class of polynomials than ℘ we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions in the case of general martingales also. It is moreover observed that in most of the cases, the set ℘ determines the law of the martingale in a certain sense.

    Notes: Abstract The circular normal distribution, CN(μ, κ), plays a role for angular data comparable to that of a normal distribution for linear data. We establish that for the curved and for the regular exponential family situations arising when κ is known, and unknown respectively, the MLE $$\widehat\mu$$ of the mean direction μ is the best equivariant estimator. These results are generalized for the MLE $$\widehat{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\thicksim}$}}{\mu } }$$ of the mean direction vector $$\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\thicksim}$}}{\mu } = (\mu _1 , \ldots ,\mu _p )'$$ in the simultaneous estimation problem with independent CN(μ $$_i$$ , ϰ), i = 1,..., p, populations. We further observe that $$\widehat{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\thicksim}$}}{\mu } }$$ is admissible both when κ is known or unknown. Thus unlike the normal theory, Stein effect does not hold for the circular normal case. This result is generalized for the simultaneous estimation problem with directional data in q-dimensional hyperspheres following independent Langevin distributions, L( $$L(\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\thicksim}$}}{\mu } _i ,\kappa ),i = 1, \ldots ,p$$ .

    Notes: Abstract Based on the fact that the complete set of eigenfunctions of a half-range problem in [0,U] is also part of a larger set that is complete in the full-range [ −U,U], a full-range boundary condition is introduced for solving the half-range problem. Specifically, this condition expresses the solution at the boundary valid for allu ε [ −U,U] as the sum of a given forward component inu ε [0,U] and the unknown backward component inu ε [ −U, 0). Thus the basically ill-posed nature of the half-range problem, viz., that is required to find the response in [ —U,U] from given data in [0,U], is formulated over the entire domain at the boundary as compared to the usual approach that expresses the boundary condition only over [0,U]. This allows us, through a two-step process that considers the full-range properties of the eigenfunctions in [ —U,U] only, to obtainnumerically exact extrapolated end-point and CaseX-function. This means, because of the relationship of these fundamental half-range data with standard half-range expansion coefficientsa 0+ andA(v) [2], that the transient integral of the half-range solution has been reduced to mechanical quadratures.

    Notes: Abstract For compact surfaces with one boundary component, and semisimple gauge groups, we construct a closed gauge invariant 2-form on the space of flat connections whose boundary holonomy lies in a fixed conjugacy class. This form descends to the moduli space under the action of the full gauge group, and provides an explicit description of a symplectic structure for this moduli space.

    Notes: Abstract: We construct rigorously an infinite dimensional distribution which corresponds to the Chern-Simons (CS) functional integral associated with a principal fiber bundle over R 3 with structure group a compact connected Lie group. We determine the ‘moments’ of the CS distribution and show that these coincide with those used in informal studies of the CS integral. A locality property of the CS distribution is proven. The complexified theory of Fröhlich and King is also discussed within our framework.

    Notes: Abstract A natural gauge-invariant 2-form is introduced on the space of connections over a compact oriented surface with boundary. It is shown that this 2-form descends to the moduli space of flat connections, under a group of based gauge transformations. An explicit expression (in terms of holonomy variations) is given for the resulting 2-form, and it is related to the symplectic structure of the extended moduli space introduced by L. C. Jeffrey.

    Notes: Abstract: The quantum field measure for gauge fields over a compact surface with boundary, with holonomy around the boundary components specified, is constructed. Loop expectation values for general loop configurations are computed. For a compact oriented surface with one boundary component, let $ be the moduli space of flat connections with boundary holonomy lying in a conjugacy class $ in the gauge group G. We prove that a certain natural closed 2-form on $ , introduced in an earlier work by C. King and the author, is a symplectic structure on the generic stratum of $ for generic $ . We then prove that the quantum Yang-Mills measure, with the boundary holonomy constrained to lie in $ , converges in a natural sense to the corresponding symplectic volume measure in the classical limit. We conclude with a detailed treatment of the case $ , and determine the symplectic volume of this moduli space.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The present study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of a new topical gel formulation of nimesulide (10 mg of pure drug) with that of placebo, diclofenac and piroxicam gels (10 mg of pure drug) in three parallel groups in a double-blinded, randomized fashion with vehicle placebo. The analgesic activity of nimesulide was subsequently correlated with its pharmacokinetic profile. Methods: The drugs were applied on a fixed marked area on the skin of the right forearm. Pain stimulus was administered using a modification of the Hollander method, before and at 15, 30, 60, 120 min and 240 min post-treatment. The pain experienced by the subjects was ranked separately on the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the ten-point category scale. Antinociception induced by the treatments was evaluated through the placebo-related ratings (PRR) and total pain relief (TOTPAR) analysis. The plasma concentration of nimesulide was estimated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: Nimesulide exhibited better efficacy than diclofenac, piroxicam and placebo. It demonstrated faster onset of action in concordance with earlier studies. Peak analgesic effect was observed at 120 min post-treatment, which correlated with the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug in gel formulation. In this study, diclofenac was found to be superior to piroxicam though both drugs exhibited peak analgesic effect at 60 min post-treatment. In the modified Hollander method, a good correlation was found between the ten point category scale and the VAS, indicating that it may serve as a sensitive and reliable method for the screening of analgesic drugs. Conclusion: The superior analgesic activity of nimesulide (as gel formulation), correlating with its pharmacokinetic profile, indicates that the topical route of administration may be a safe and effective alternative to the presently used oral and rectal routes.

    Notes: Abstract We prove that forSU(2) andSO(3) quantum gauge theory on a torus, holonomy expectation values with respect to the Yang-Mills measure converge, asT↓0, to integrals with respect to a symplectic volume measure µ0 on the moduli space of flat connections on the bundle. These moduli spaces and the symplectic structures are described explicitly.

    Notes: Abstract Tau protein from Alzheimer disease (AD) brain is hyperphosphorylated by both proline-dependent protein kinases (PDPKs) and non-PDPKs. It is presently unclear how PDPKs and non-PDPKs interact in tau hyperphosphorylation. Previously we have shown that non-PDPKs can positively modulate the activity of a PDPK (GSK-3) in tau phosphorylation (Singh et al. (1995) FEBS Lett. 358, 267-272). In this study we have investigated whether (A) non-PDPKs can also modulate the activity of the PDPK, cdk5, (B) a PDPK can modulate the activities of another PDPK, as well as non-PDPKs. We found that, like GSK-3, the activity of cdk5 is stimulated if tau were first prephosphorylated by any of several non-PDPKs (A-kinase, C-kinase, CK-1, CaM-kinase II). Prephosphorylation of tau by cdk5 stimulated both the rate and extent of a subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by GSK-3. Under these conditions thr 231 phosphorylation was especially enhanced (9-fold). No significant stimulation of phosphorylation was obser ved when the order of these kinases was reversed (i.e. GSK-3 followed by cdk5). By contrast, prephosphorylation of tau by cdk5 served to inhibit subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by C-kinase and CK-1, but not by A-kinase or CaM-kinase II. Our results suggest that in tau hyperphosphorylation in AD brain, cdk5-catalyzed phosphorylation may serve to up-regulate the activity of GSK-3 and down-regulate the activities of C-kinase and CK-1.
