The clearance rate of liposomal drugs from the circulation is determined by the rate and extent of both drug release and uptake of liposomes by cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Intravenously injected liposomes initially come into contact with serum proteins. The interaction of liposomes with serum proteins is thought to play a critical role in the liposome clearance. Therefore, ...

We show that the norm graph constructed in [13] with n vertices about 1 2n 2−1/t edges, which contains no copy of Kt,(t−1)!+1, does not contain a copy of Kt+1,(t−1)!−1.

In this paper we investigate the closure ~-* under substitution-composition of a family of graphs ~,, defined by a set Lr of forbidden configurations. We first prove that ~-* can be defined by a set L~* of forbidden subgraphs. Next, using a counterexample we show that ~* is not necessarily a finite set, even when .~ is finite. We then give a sufficient condition for ~* to be finite and a simple...

Logical structures for modeling agents’ reasoning about unawareness are presented where it can hold simultaneously that: (i) agents’ beliefs about whether they are fully aware need not be veracious with partitional information; and (ii) the agent is fully aware if and only if she is aware of a fixed domain of formulae. In light of (ii), all states are deemed “possible”. Semantics operate in two...

We characterise t-perfect plane triangulations by forbidden induced subgraphs. As a consequence, we obtain that a plane triangulation is h-perfect if and only if it is perfect.

A circle graph is the intersection graph of a family of chords on a circle. There is no known characterization of circle graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs that do not involve the notions of local equivalence or pivoting operations. We characterize circle graphs by a list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph belongs to one of the following classes: linear domino graphs, P4-t...

In this note, we prove that all 2× 2 monotone grid classes are finitely based, i.e., defined by a finite collection of minimal forbidden permutations. This follows from a slightly more general result about certain 2× 2 having two monotone cells in the same row.
