An entropy based proof of the Moore bound for irregular graphs
We provide proofs of the following theorems by considering the entropy of
random walks: Theorem 1.(Alon, Hoory and Linial) Let G be an undirected simple
graph with n vertices, girth g, minimum degree at least 2 and average degree d:
Odd girth: If g=2r+1,then n \geq 1 + d*(\Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d-1)^i) Even girth: If
g=2r,then n \geq 2*(\Sum_{i=0}^{r-1} (d-1)^i) Theorem 2.(Hoory) Let G =
(V_L,V_R,E) be a bipartite graph of girth g = 2r, with n_L = |V_L| and n_R =
|V_R|, minimum degree at least 2 and the left and right average degrees d_L and
d_R. Then, n_L \geq \Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d_R-1)^{i/2}(d_L-1)^{i/2} n_R \geq
\Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d_L-1)^{i/2}(d_R-1)^{i/2}Comment: 6 page
<i>meso</i>-Tetrakis(<i>p</i>-sulfonatophenyl)N-Confused Porphyrin Tetrasodium Salt: A Potential Sensitizer for Photodynamic Therapy
A water-soluble derivative of N-confused porphyrin (NCP)
was synthesized, and the
photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) application was investigated by photophysical
and <i>in vitro</i> studies. High singlet oxygen quantum
yield in water at longer wavelength and promising IC<sub>50</sub> values
in a panel of cancer cell lines ensure the potential candidacy of
the sensitizer as a PDT drug. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation
on PDT in MDA-MB 231 cells and the apoptotic pathway of cell death
was illustrated using different techniques
