Sullivan, Steven M. | A trace formula for G2 | An n-dimensional matrix representation of a group G on a vector space V is a homomorphism from G to GL(V). For our purposes, we consider an irreducible representation to be a representation which cannot be decomposed into the direct sum of smaller-dimensional representations. Let H be a subgroup of ... | Trace formulas | 2013-05 |

Hyer, Christina Cottrell | Effect of M1 Matrix Protein on Hemagglutinin Expression and Influenza Virus-Like Particle Production in Trichoplusia NI | Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a new and effective flu vaccine approach. VLPs are non-infectious and can produce robust immune responses. Flu VLPs are typically created by co-expressing the flu hemagglutinin (HA) surface antigen and the matrix protein M1-which assists in viral and VLP budding-in cu... | | 2017 |
