Grigorchuk's Overgroup G˜, is a branch group of intermediate growth. It contains the first Grigorchuk's torsion group G of intermediate growth constructed in 1980, but also has elements of infinite order. Its growth is substantially greater than the growth of G. The group G, corresponding to the sequence (012)∞=012012…, is a member of the family {Gω|ω∈Ω={0,1,2}N} consisting of groups of intermediate growth when sequence ω is not eventually constant. Following this construction we define the family {G˜ω,ω∈Ω} of generalized overgroups. Then G˜=G˜(012)∞ and Gω is a subgroup of G˜ω for each ω∈Ω. We prove, if ω is eventually constant, then G˜ω is of polynomial growth and if ω is not eventually constant, then G˜ω is of intermediate growth.

Hypergroups can be subdivided into two large classes: those whose heart coincide with the entire hypergroup and those in which the heart is a proper sub-hypergroup. The latter class includes the family of 1-hypergroups, whose heart reduces to a singleton, and therefore is the trivial group. However, very little is known about hypergroups that are neither 1-hypergroups nor belong to the first class. The goal of this work is to take a first step in classifying G-hypergroups, that is, hypergroups whose heart is a nontrivial group. We introduce their main properties, with an emphasis on G-hypergroups whose the heart is a torsion group. We analyze the main properties of the stabilizers of group actions of the heart, which play an important role in the construction of multiplicative tables of G-hypergroups. Based on these results, we characterize the G-hypergroups that are of type U on the right or cogroups on the right. Finally, we present the hyperproduct tables of all G-hypergroups of size not larger than 5, apart of isomorphisms.

Let G be an abelian group, and let S be a subset of G. Necessary and sufficient conditions on G and S are given in order that there should exist a Dedekind domain D with class group G with the property that S is the set of classes that contain maximal ideals of D. If G is a torsion group, then S is the set of classes containing the maximal ideals of D if and only if S generates G. These results are used to determine necessary and sufficient conditions on a family {Hλ} of subgroups of G in order that there should exist a Dedekind domain D with class group G such that {G/Hλ} is the family of class groups of the set of overrings of D. Several applications are given.

Abstract Chung and Jiang showed that if a one-ended group contains an infinite order element, then every continuous cocycle over the full shift, taking values in a discrete group, must be cohomologous to a homomorphism. We show that their conclusion holds for all one-ended groups, so that the hypothesis of admitting an infinite order element may be omitted.

We show with a combinatorial argument that a finitely generated infinite group whose growth function relative to some finite generating system is less or equal to [Formula: see text], r<2, contains an element of infinite order. This result is aimed at investigating the combinatorial nature of M. Gromov’s theorem on groups of polynomial growth.

First Grigorchuk group [Formula: see text] and Grigorchuk’s overgroup [Formula: see text], introduced in 1980, are self-similar branch groups with intermediate growth. In 1984, [Formula: see text] was used to construct the family of generalized Grigorchuk groups [Formula: see text], which has many remarkable properties. Following this construction, we generalize the Grigorchuk’s overgroup [Formula: see text] to the family [Formula: see text] of generalized Grigorchuk’s overgroups. We consider these groups as 8-generated and describe the closure of this family in the space [Formula: see text] of marked [Formula: see text]-generated groups.

Two Upper Triassic sphinctozoan sponges of the family Sebargasiidae were recovered from silicified residues collected in Hells Canyon, Oregon. These sponges areAmblysiphonellacf.A. steinmanni(Haas), known from the Tethys region, andColospongia whalenin. sp., an endemic species. The latter sponge was placed in the superfamily Porata by Seilacher (1962). The presence of well-preserved cribrate plates in this sponge, in addition to pores of the chamber walls, is a unique condition never before reported in any porate sphinctozoans. Aporate counterparts known primarily from the Triassic Alps have similar cribrate plates but lack the pores in the chamber walls. The sponges from Hells Canyon are associated with abundant bivalves and corals of marked Tethyan affinities and come from a displaced terrane known as the Wallowa Terrane. It was a tropical island arc, suspected to have paleogeographic relationships with Wrangellia; however, these sponges have not yet been found in any other Cordilleran terrane.

Information concerning the morphology and replication of organism of the family Mycoplasmataceae remains, despite over 70 years of study, highly controversial. Due to their small size observations by light microscopy have not been rewarding. Furthermore, not only are these organisms extremely pleomorphic but their morphology also changes according to growth phase. This study deals with the morphological aspects of M. pneumoniae strain 3546 in relation to growth, interaction with HeLa cells and possible mechanisms of replication.The organisms were grown aerobically at 37°C in a soy peptone yeast dialysate medium supplemented with 12% gamma-globulin free horse serum. The medium was buffered at pH 7.3 with TES [N-tris (hyroxymethyl) methyl-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid] at 10mM concentration. The inoculum, an actively growing culture, was filtered through a 0.5 μm polycarbonate “nuclepore” filter to prevent transfer of all but the smallest aggregates. Growth was assessed at specific periods by colony counts and 800 ml samples of organisms were fixed in situ with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 3 hrs. at 4°C. Washed cells for sectioning were post-fixed in 0.8% OSO4 in veronal-acetate buffer pH 6.1 for 1 hr. at 21°C. HeLa cells were infected with a filtered inoculum of M. pneumoniae and incubated for 9 days in Leighton tubes with coverslips. The cells were then removed and processed for electron microscopy.
