Grade 1 open spiral fracture of left tibia in a 1.5 year-old horse was treated using a combination of 4.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) and a dynamic compression plate applied in a neutralization manner. The open wound was managed postoperatively by regular dressing and lavage. Radiograph at 24 days post-treatment revealed callus formation and at two months complete bridging callus was obs...

The imposition of a cost constraint for constructing the optimal navigation structure surely represents a crucial ingredient in the design and development of any realistic navigation network. Previous works have focused on optimal transport in small-world networks built from two-dimensional lattices by adding long-range connections with Manhattan length r(ij) taken from the distribution P(ij)~r...

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...

Rouse model is the basic molecular for unentangled linear polymer chains in melts. Recent studies suggest that parameters characterizing melts, spring strength κ , segmental friction coefficient ζ, and mean-square Brownian force intensity B, change under fast flow thereby providing significant rheological nonlinearities with those melts (Matsumiya et al., Macromolecules, 51, 9710 (2018)). This ...

In §1 the authors present the basic properties of the scalar product along a curve on a Finsler manifold. In §2 they investigate the variational formulae for the p-energy functional (p ∈ R − {0}). This concept generalises the notions of length (p = 1) and energy (p = 2) of a curve. §3 analyses the extrema of p-energy when the Finsler space has constant curvature. (F3) the fundamental tensor g i...

This supplement contains our reworking of Neyman's calculations. It is important to note that, although our proofs may not be technically elegant, they are designed to reveal explicitly the errors of Neyman (1935). A.1 Randomized Complete Block Designs Consider N blocks and T treatments, with each block having T experimental units, and treatments randomized to experimental units independently a...

The proper addition of shortcuts to a regular substrate can lead to the formation of a complex network with a highly efficient structure for navigation [J. M. Kleinberg, Nature 406, 845 (2000)]. Here we show that enhanced flow properties can also be observed in these small-world topologies. Precisely, our model is a network built from an underlying regular lattice over which long-range connecti...
