On generalized competition index of a primitive tournament

AbstractFor positive integers k and m and a digraph D, the k-step m-competition graph Cmk(D) of D has the same set of vertices as D and an edge between vertices x and y if and only if there exist m distinct vertices v1,v2,…,vm in D such that there exist directed walks of length k from x to vi and from y to vi for 1≤i≤m. The m-competition index of a primitive digraph D is the smallest positive integer k such that Cmk(D) is a complete graph. In this paper, we study the m-competition indices of primitive tournaments and provide an upper bound for the m-competition index of a primitive tournament

Distribution of allergenic molecules retrieved from Allergome database across Pfam domain families.

<p>Number of Pfam domain families with no allergenic members have also been represented. The Y-axis is scaled logarithmically (base 10), however true values are represented.</p

Pfam domain families that are highly populated with allergenic protein sequences.

<p>Protein domain families considered for this analysis are highlighted in the box based on the families presented in the article co-authored by Fitzsimmons and Dunne [<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004546#pcbi.1004546.ref021" target="_blank">21</a>].</p

List of the protein domain families/superfamilies that are populated predominantly with allergenic molecules.

<p>Total number of allergenic molecules (retrieved form Allergome database) in these families/superfamily and their ‘close homologs’ in eukaryotic metazoan parasites are shown.</p

Magnitudes of specific IgE, IgG4 and IgG1 responses to <i>S</i>. <i>mansoni</i> Bet v 1-like protein, SmBv1L, in a population of 222 individuals infected with <i>S</i>. <i>mansoni</i>, dotted lines indicate threshold of magnitude for a response.

<p>Data were normalized for expression on a log scale by the addition of constants so as to include zero values.</p
