A graph G is Nm-locally connected if for every vertex v in G, the vertices not equal to v and with distance at most m to v induce a connected subgraph in G. We show that both connectedN2-locally connected claw-free graph and 3-edge-connected N3-locally connected claw-free graph have connected even [2, 4]-factors, which settle a conjecture by Li in [6].

PURPOSE To evaluate the indications, visual outcomes, and complication rate after implantation of a posterior chamber iris-claw aphakic intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, University Medicine Charité Berlin, Berlin, Germany. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS Eyes without adequate capsule support had posterior chamber iris-claw aphakic IOL implantation (Ver...

Pathological claw formations occur subsequent to irregular or prolonged claw trimming periods and as a result of improper flooring. Clinical experience and material testing finds horn of minor quality to be associated with the malformations. Finite element models (FEM) of a flat claw (FC), a contracted claw (CC), and a laminitic claw (LC) were designed from native claw specimens to combine mate...

Lobster Fishery and aquaculture development in the North coast of Gulf Oman: with emphasis on spiny lobster Panulirus homarus

We propose a new type of claw free function family, a pseudo self-de nable claw free function family , which provides, by Damg ard's construction, a collision intractable hash function family that is more suitable in several cryptographic applications such as digital signature, bit commitment, etc. We give an example of self-de nable claw free function families based on the hardness of some num...

BACKGROUND The western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus, is endemic to Western Australia and supports substantial commercial and recreational fisheries. Due to and its wide distribution and the commercial and recreational importance of the species a key component of managing western rock lobster is understanding the ecological processes and interactions that may influence lobster abundance and di...

Lobsters are prized by commercial and recreational fishermen worldwide, and their populations are therefore buffeted by fishery practices. But lobsters also remain integral members of their benthic communities where predator-prey relationships, competitive interactions, and host-pathogen dynamics push and pull at their population dynamics. Although lobsters have few reported pathogens and paras...

A graph is claw-free if no vertex has three pairwise nonadjacent neighbours. At first sight, there seem to be a great variety of types of claw-free graphs. For instance, there are line graphs, the graph of the icosahedron, complements of triangle-free graphs, and the Schläfli graph (an amazingly highly-symmetric graph with 27 vertices), and more; for instance, if we arrange vertices in a circle...

An 8-year-old male Golden Retriever had lameness and claw abnormality in the second digit of the left forelimb. Radiography revealed osteomyelitis in the distal phalanx bone of the affected limb. Microscopic examination of the claw revealed numerous hyphae in the claw matrix. Fungal DNA fragments coding the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) were detected from the claw matrix as...
