Objective: Evidence of the effects of Yokukansan (YKS), a traditional herbal medicine, on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) has accumulated. As well as BPSD, patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) demonstrate poorer sleep quality. Specific sleep disorders such as sleep-disordered breathing and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) can be prevalent in the elderly. PLMs ar...

background: we conducted a comprehensive bibliometrics analysis to calculate the h, g, m, a and r indicators for all iranian biomedical research centers (ibrcs) from the output of isi web of science (wos) and scopus between 1991 and 2010. we compared the research performance of the research centers according to these indicators.   methods : this was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical ...

let $g$ be a graph and let $m_{ij}(g)$, $i,jge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $g$ such that ${d_v(g), d_u(g)} = {i,j}$. the {em $m$-polynomial} of $g$ is introduced with $displaystyle{m(g;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{ij}(g)x^iy^j}$. it is shown that degree-based topological indices can be routinely computed from the polynomial, thus reducing the problem of their determination in each particular ca...

topological indices are numerical parameters of a graph which characterize its topology. inthis paper the pi, szeged and zagreb group indices of the tetrameric 1,3–adamantane arecomputed.

in theoretical chemistry, molecular structure descriptors are used to compute properties of chemical compounds. among them wiener, szeged and detour indices play significant roles in anticipating chemical phenomena. in the present paper, we study these topological indices with respect to their difference number.
