Bijections for classes of labelled trees
(University of Isfahan, 2024-01-09)Trees are acyclic connected graphs. Plane trees, d-ary trees, binary trees, non crossing trees and their generalizations, which are families of trees, have been enumerated by many authors using various statistics. These ... -
Bijections of k-plane trees
(Open journal of discrete Applied Mathematics, 2022)A k-plane tree is a tree drawn in the plane such that the vertices are labeled by integers in the set {1, 2, . . . , k}, the children of all vertices are ordered, and if (i, j) is an edge in the tree, where i and j are ... -
Bijections of plane Husimi graphs and certain combinatorial structures
(EU Academic Publishers, 2023-10-19)Plane Husimi graphs are combinatorial structures obtained when we replace edges in plane trees with complete graphs such that the resultant structures are connected and cycle free. The formula that counts these structures ... -
Binding of opsonized immune complexes to Erythrocyte crlicd35 inhibits TNF-a production by restricting immune complex uptake by macro phages
(Maseno university, 2008)Previous studies have shown that children suffering from severe malaria have elevated concentrations of TNF-a, increased levels of circulating immune complexes (ICs) and decreased levels of complement regulatory proteins ... -
