A d-angulation is a planar map with faces of degree d. We present for each integer d ≥ 3 a bijection between the class of d-angulations of girth d and a class of decorated plane trees. Each of the bijections is obtained by specializing a “master bijection” which extends an earlier construction of the first author. Bijections already existed for triangulations (d = 3) and for quadrangulations (d...

Gentlemen,?I take the liberty of submitting to you several drawings which illustrate the condition of the entrance to the vagina, and especially of the hymen, after cohabitation and childbearing. It is known to you, that hitherto the general opinion has been that the hymen by the first cohabitation was torn, and that the cicatricial retracting remains of the same formed the carunculee myrtiform...

A novel technique is described that uses either time-resolved or steady state prompt photosensitizer fluorescence to measure local oxygen concentration. Solution experiments conducted with Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid confirmed that the steady state fluorescence signal is dependent on the oxygen concentration and fluence rate. A relationship between prompt sensitizer fluor...
