An algorithm is given for bringing the equations of monomial first integrals of arbitrary degree of the geodesic motion in a Riemannian space Vn into the form (FA) k = ∑ B ΓkABFB . The FA are the components of a Killing tensor Ki1...ir of arbitrary rank r and its symmetrized covariant derivatives. Explicit formulas are given for rank 1,2 and 3. Killing tensor equations in structural form allow ...

Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the patients may have dysfunctioning of immune defense mechanisms. Objective: To assess the associat...
