prosthetic joint infection (pji) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. the reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. pji has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....

‎a set $s$ of vertices of a graph $g=(v,e)$ without isolated vertex‎ ‎is a {em total dominating set} if every vertex of $v(g)$ is‎ ‎adjacent to some vertex in $s$‎. ‎the {em total domatic number} of‎ ‎a graph $g$ is the maximum number of total dominating sets into‎ ‎which the vertex set of $g$ can be partitioned‎. ‎we show that the‎ ‎total domatic number of a random $r$-regular graph is almost‎...

Expressions for the Zagreb indices and coindices of the total graph, semi-total point graph and of semi-total line graph of subdivision graphs in terms of the parameters of the parent graph are obtained, thus generalizing earlier existing results.

Total parenteral nutrition or TPN is perhaps one of the most exciting technique$ that has come a-long in the last few years. TPN can be defined as the delivery of sufficient nutrition via the intra venous route to maintain an ana­bolic state in a patient without any oral intake over an extended period of time.  The limit'ation of fulfatling the patient's nutri­tional requiremetlt by 5% or 10% ...

‎for any integer $kgeq 1$‎, ‎a set $s$ of vertices in a graph $g=(v,e)$ is a $k$-‎tuple total dominating set of $g$ if any vertex‎ ‎of $g$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $s$‎, ‎and any vertex‎ ‎of $v-s$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $v-s$‎. ‎the minimum number of vertices of such a set‎ ‎in $g$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $g$‎. ‎the maximum num...

abstract background and objective: diabetes mellitus is associated with cardiomyopathic changes, can be mediated by an oxidative stress. we aimed to study the effects of regular aerobic training and arbutin supplementation on total oxidant status (tos) and total antioxidant (tas) status in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. material and methods: fourty-two male wistar rats with an average wei...

high levels of turbidity and suspended solids are the major disadvantages of aerated lagoons. aerated lagoon effluent filtration was investigated by horizontal roughing filter (hrf). removal efficiencies were determined by examining total phosphorus (tp) and total kjeldahl nitrogen (tkn) from hrf influent and effluent, simultaneously. hrf pilot system located on effluent pump station of qom was...
