‎the number of factorizations of a finite abelian group as the product of two subgroups is computed in two different ways and a combinatorial identity involving gaussian binomial coefficients is presented‎.

Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...
