It is easily observed that the vertices of a simple graph cannot have pairwise distinct degrees. This means no order at least two is, in this way, irregular. However, multigraph can be Chartrand et al., 1988, posed following problem: loopless multigraph, how one determine fewest parallel edges required to ensure all degrees? problem known as labeling and, for its solution, al. introduced irregu...

This paper presents a simple load balancing algorithm and its probabilistic analysis. Unlike most of the previous load balancing algorithms, this algorithm maintains locality. We show that the cost of this load balancing algorithm is small for practical situations and discuss some interesting applications for data remapping. Index Terms Data locality, irregularity, load balancing, mapping, prob...

BACKGROUND Superficial liposuction has found its application in maximizing and creating a lifting effect to achieve a better aesthetic result. Due to initial high complication rates, these procedures were generally accepted as risky. In a response to the increasing concerns over the safety and efficacy of superficial liposuction, the authors describe their 14-year experience of performing super...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of the female athlete triad (disordered eating, menstrual irregularity, and low bone mass) among high school athletes. DESIGN Observational cross-sectional study. SETTING High school. PARTICIPANTS Female athletes (n= 170) representing 8 sports were recruited from 6 high schools in southern California. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Disordered eating and menst...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single-step, transepithelial, topography-guided surface ablation in the treatment of visual disturbances including irregular astigmatism and light scattering caused by LASIK flap or interface complications. METHODS Seventeen eyes of 16 patients with LASIK flap or interface complications and central residual stromal thickness ≥300 μm were treate...

AIMS Reduced irregularity of RR intervals in permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with poor outcome. It is not fully understood, however, whether modification of atrioventricular (AV) conduction using rate-control drugs affects RR variability and irregularity measures. We aimed at assessing whether atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) and variability and irregularity of the ventricu...
