the topological index of a graph g is a numeric quantity related to g which is invariant underautomorphisms of g. the vertex pi polynomial is defined as piv (g)  euv nu (e)  nv (e).then omega polynomial (g,x) for counting qoc strips in g is defined as (g,x) =cm(g,c)xc with m(g,c) being the number of strips of length c. in this paper, a new infiniteclass of fullerenes is constructed. the ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate ultrasound and Doppler parameters in the third trimester of pregnancy as possible predictors of adverse perinatal outcome in unselected pregnancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study including unselected pregnant women be-tween 27 and 36 + 6 weeks of gestation. The following ultrasound and Doppler paramet...

In this paper, at first we mention to some results related to PI and vertex Co-PI indices and then we introduce the edge versions of Co-PI indices. Then, we obtain some properties about these new indices.

Due to the lack of water quality of resourses in country, exact review of available water resources quality, especially in terms of heavy elements (heavy metals) has a particular importance. Due to industrial towns 1 and 2 of Yasuj city and also Yasuj wastewater treatment, surveying environmental harmful effects of heavy metals on this river is very important. To investigate the changes of heav...

for a graph $g$ with edge set $e(g)$, the multiplicative sum zagreb index of $g$ is defined as$pi^*(g)=pi_{uvin e(g)}[d_g(u)+d_g(v)]$, where $d_g(v)$ is the degree of vertex $v$ in $g$.in this paper, we first introduce some graph transformations that decreasethis index. in application, we identify the fourteen class of trees, with the first through fourteenth smallest multiplicative sum zagreb ...

This paper explores a possible design for a CMOS compatible, athermal, optical waveguide. The design explored is a slot waveguide with light guided in the low index material. A design paradigm is proposed which shows the relationship between cross-sectional parameters and their impact on both the effective index of refraction and the thermo-optic coefficient of the device. Two materials choices...

In this study, novel thermally stable zirconia-containing polyimides (PI/ZrO2) with excellent optical properties have been prepared successfully. The obtained flexible PI/ZrO2 hybrid films revealed excellent optical transparency, a tunable refractive index and an Abbe number up to 1.804 and 32.18, respectively, which are crucial for optical devices. In addition, the PI/ZrO2 hybrid films also ex...

background: the p ulsatility index (pi) shows continuous blood flow to the end organs and is a significant factor believed to decrease in aortic coarctation. correction of this factor is of great importance in the treatment of stenotic lesions of the aorta. however, there are minimal data regarding the trend of changes in the pi after stent implantation. furthermore, the association between the...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate transit-time flow (TTF) as a tool to detect technical errors in arterial bypass grafts intra-operatively and predict outcomes. METHODS TTF's three parameters, pulsatility index (PI, index of resistance), flow (cc min(-1)) and diastolic filling (DF, proportion of diastole with coronary flow), were measured in 990/1000 (99%) of arterial grafts in ...

BACKGROUND Use of a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) immunosuppressant following kidney transplantation is associated with development of vasomotor nephrotoxicity. This study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the influences of CNI-based and CNI-free immunosuppressant regimens on two intrarenal vascular resistance parameters, the resistive index (RI) and the pulsatility index (PI), in renal tran...
