background: the purposes of the present study were morphometric characteri-zation of rostellar hooks of taenia multiceps and to investigate the association of hook length variation and the variability within two mitochondrial genes of sheep isolates of the parasite. methods: up to 4500 sheep brains were examined for the presence of c. cerebralis . biometric characters based on the larval rostel...

We introduce a quasisymmetric generalization of Berele and Regev’s hook Schur functions and prove that these new quasisymmetric hook Schur functions decompose the hook Schur functions in a natural way. In this paper we examine the combinatorics of the quasisymmetric hook Schur functions, providing analogues of the RobinsonSchensted-Knuth algorithm and a generalized Cauchy Identity. Résumé. Nous...
