background: determination of reference ranges of each serum protein in normal population of each country is required for studies and clinical interpretation. the aim of this study was defining reference range values of immunoglobulins and complement components in iranian healthy children. methods: this study was conducted from june 2003 to june 2006 in immunology, asthma and allergy research in...

Background: Inappropriate activation or blockage of the inhibition of complement system could cause tissue damages in autoimmune diseases particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
