We consider the complexity of problems related to the combinatorial game Free-Flood-It, in which players aim to make a coloured graph monochromatic with the minimum possible number of flooding operations. Our main result is that computing the length of an optimal sequence is fixed parameter tractable (with the number of colours as a parameter) when restricted to rectangular 2× n boards. We also...

diabetic foot ulcer (dfu) is considered as one of the main causes of hospitalization in diabetic patients, which can lead to infection, gangrene, amputation, and even death if the necessary care is not provided. based on the recent investigations, one of the most effective tactics to manage diabetic foot ulcer is to form a multidisciplinary team including a general practitioner, a nurse, an edu...

1 1 Based upon a recent study at the Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center. Administration Brooklyn Outpatient Clinic, who suggested that his patient "be fitted as a below-knee amputee." The Veterans Administration has many beneficiaries who suffer from an inability to bear weight on their feet. Etiologies include gunshot wounds, crushing injuries, painful ankylosis, arthritis, and other c...

Recently symmetries of gravity and gauge fields in the asymptotic regions spacetime have been shown to play vital role their low energy scattering phenomena. Further, for black hole spacetime, near horizon symmetry has observed possible understanding underlying degrees freedom thermodynamic behaviour horizon. Following similar idea, this paper, we analyzed associated algebra a timelike surface ...

introduction: shin splint is one of the common injuries in most athletes. although the relationship between abnormal foot posture and shin splint has been reported previously but, the relation between foot posture and shin splint has not been well documented. the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between foot postures in basketball players and the history of shin splint. materia...

This study evaluated the SACH and the Greissinger Plus prosthetic feet, in terms of the symmetry provided between the lower limbs, in the case of unilateral transtibial amputees 16.3 weeks from the time of limb fitting and 38.9 weeks from surgery. Sagittal plane gait analysis was carried out for nine right-limb traumatic amputees. In all examined cases, the spatial and temporal parameters measu...

The growth and propagation behavior of austenite-to-bainite isothermal transformation in laser-cladded, Si-rich, and Fe-based coatings is investigated. The crystallographic features, orientation relationship at different isothermal temperatures, and the morphology of the nanostructured bainite are determined. The Nishiyama-Wassermann type orientation relationship is observed at a high temperatu...
