Abstract
Valuations of near polygons were introduced in [12] as an important tool for classifying dense near polygons. In the present article, we will introduce the class of the semi‐diagonal valuations. These valuations live in glued near hexagons. A glued near hexagon S can be coordinatized by a pair of admissible triples; such triples consist of a Steiner system ${\cal L}$, a group G, and a certain nice map $\Delta :{\cal L} \times {\cal L} \to G$. We will give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of semi‐diagonal valuations in ${\cal S}$ in terms of these two admissible triples. For two classes of glued near hexagons, we will use this condition to determine all semi‐diagonal valuations. Each semi‐diagonal valuation will also give rise to a hyperplane of the glued near hexagon. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 15: 35–48, 2007

## Abstract Kinetics of proton transfer between lysozyme and a pH indicator __p__‐nitrophenol (__p__‐Np) were measured by the temperature‐jump method in a pH range of 6.0–7.0. Two well‐defined relaxation processes were observed. The fast process (τ ≃ 15 μsec) was also observed for a lysozyme deriva
