On the independence number of random graphs
Discrete Mathematics, 1990 The independence number (the largest number of vertices not joined by any edges) is considered for a Bernoulli graph of order n with edge probability \(p=0(1)\). A result concerning convergence in probability is proved by using a martingale inequality.

Hamiltonicity, independence number, and pancyclicity
European Journal of Combinatorics, 2012 A graph on n vertices is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length l for all 3 \le l \le n. In 1972, Erdos proved that if G is a Hamiltonian graph on n > 4k^4 vertices with independence number k, then G is pancyclic. He then suggested that n = Ω(k^2) should already be enough to guarantee pancyclicity.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Average distance and independence number
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1994 For a connected graph \(G\) of order \(n\), the average distance \(\mu(G)\) is defined as \[ \mu(G)= \left({n\atop 2}\right)^{-1} \sum_{u,v\in V(G)} d(u,v), \] where \(d(u,v)\) denotes the length of a shortest path joining the vertices \(u\) and \(v\).
