Intersecting Families Of Spanning Trees, Nathan Lindzey

Combinatorics Seminar

A family of spanning trees of the complete graph on n vertices Kn is t-intersecting if any two members have a forest on t edges in common. We prove an ErdosKo Rado result for t-intersecting families of spanning trees of Kn. In particular, we show there exists a constant C > 0 such that for all n C(logn)t, the largest t-intersecting families of spanning trees of Kn are the families consisting of all spanning trees that contain a xed set of t disjoint edges (as well as the stars on n vertices for t = 1). The proof uses the spread …

Impact Of Pausinystalia Johimbe On Cytochrome P450: A Potential Risk For Polypharmacy, Pankul Kotwal, Islam Husain, Olivia R. Dale, Suresh Chandra V. A. R. Annam, Amar G. Chittiboyina, Ikhlas A. Khan, Shabana I. Khan

Annual Poster Session 2024-2025

Pausinystalia johimbe, a tree native to West Africa, contains yohimbine as its primary active compound which was traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, has gained attention for its diverse pharmacological effects such as weight loss promotion, athletic performance enhancement, mood improvement, potential anxiety reduction and cognitive function enhancement. Recent studies have revealed that the primary mechanism of action of yohimbine is as an α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, affecting fat metabolism, vasodilation, and sympathetic nervous system activity. PXR and AhR are xenobiotic receptors that regulate the expression of drugmetabolizing Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and transporters like Pglycoprotien (P-gp). Concomitant consumption of phytochemicals …

Delta-Modular Matroids, Zachary Walsh

Combinatorics Seminar

Delta-modular matrices are integer matrices that arise in the theory of integer programming. Matroids are discrete structures that encode the combinatorics of linear independence. We show how matroids were used to nd an upper bound on the maximum number of columns of a rank-r Delta-modular matrix. We assume no knowledge of matroid theory. This is joint work with Joseph Paat, Ingo Stallknecht, and Luze Xu.
