The augmented eccentric connectivity index is defined as the summation of the quotients of the product of adjacent vertex degrees and eccentricity of the concerned vertex of a graph which is a generalization of eccentric connectivity index. In this paper we present explicit expressions for the values of augmented eccentric connectivity indices of some particular thorn graphs like thorn path, th...

due to the importance of weed control and the limitations of mechanical methods in some places, in this research the water jet cutting for weed control was investigated. the cutting tests were performed on camel thorn weed in shahid bahonar university of kerman. the water jet pressure of 90 bars was achieved with the aid of a suitable pump. the cutting time was studied in a completely randomize...

Date palm thorn injuries are common in Middle Eastern countries, where there are many date palm plantations. If detected, these injuries can be treated without subsequent complications. In children, however, the diagnosis can very easily be missed. An untreated embedded thorn may cause late complications, including periostitis or osteomyelitis. In this article, the author presents a case of dat...

Our experience of five children with chronic thorn synovitis indicates that removal of free thorn fragments and all the macroscopically abnormal synovium is required in order to achieve a complete cure. Four children required total synovectomy for diffuse proliferative synovitis and one needed partial synovectomy of the area immediately around the embedded thorn. Joint washouts and partial syno...
