A tree T of order n is called k-placement if there are k edge-disjoint copies of T into K_{n}. In this paper we prove some results about 4-placement of rooted trees.

OBJECTIVES Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS) is a rare condition that is often difficult to assess and for which a variety of monitoring tools have been described. We aimed to describe how monitoring tools are used and perceived by clinicians in the UK, to ascertain treatments used for JLS and to provide a description of transition arrangements to adult care. METHODS An e-survey of UK paed...

Abstract: Localized corrosion of aluminum alloys is often triggered by intermetallic particles, IMP’s. To understandthe role of IMP’s in corrosion initiation of EN AW-3003, efforts were made to combine nano-scale ex-situ analysis ofthe IMP’s by SEM-EDS, SKPFM and in-situ AFM monitoring of the localized attack in chloride containing solution.The results showed that two distinct types of eutectic...

We revisit the collocation method of Manzhos and Carrington [ J. Chem. Phys., 2016, 145, 224110] in which a distributed localized (e.g., Gaussian) basis is used to set up generalized eigenvalue problem compute eigenenergies eigenfunctions molecular vibrational Hamiltonian. Although resulting linear algebra involves full matrices, provides number important advantages, namely, (i) it very simple ...

PURPOSE To assess clinical outcomes of high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HIB) in localized penile carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 03/2006 to 08/2013, patients with biopsy-proven T1-T2 (<4 cm) non-metastatic localized penile squamous cell carcinoma underwent HIB. Under general anaesthesia, after Foley catheter placement, needles were placed in the target volume using a dedicated ...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disorder with urticarial pruritic papules and plaques and tense bullae in flexural surfaces of body. The localized form of the disease is a rare variant which can be triggered by different stimuli. Hereunder, we report a patient with the local type involving genitalia without any triggering factors.

Retrospective study of 59 chlidren with JLS from 3 to 17 y (M = 10.3) treated with MTX was performed. Group 1 (n = 18) – received prednisone 0.5 mg\kg for 6 weeks, taped to 0.1 mg\kg for 12 months + MTX 10 mg\body sq. weekly for 13.7 mo. Group 2 (n = 41) -MTX the same doses and duration. The efficacy was measured in 6 & 12 months using skin score, activity and sclerosis indexes (IA, IS) (1 – 3 ...

Dampers can reduce structural response under dynamic loads. Since dampers are costly, the design of structures equipped with dampers should make their application economically justifiable. Among the effective cost reduction factors is optimal damper placement. Hence, this study intended to find the optimal viscous damper placement using efficient optimization methods. Taking into account the no...

in this paper, the interaction between an oscillating dipole moment and a silver nanoparticle has been studied. our calculations are based on mie scattering theory and discrete dipole approximation(dda) method.at first, the resonance frequency due to excitingthe localized surface plasmons has been obtained using mie scattering theory and then by exciting a dipole moment in theclose proximity of...

of thesis entitled Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks submitted by King-Yip Cheng for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong December 2006 Localization in wireless sensor networks is the process of determining the geographical positions of sensors. Only some of the sensors (anchors) in the networks have prior knowledge about their geographical positions. Localiz...
