In the Internet, user-level performance of P2P applications may be determined by the interaction of two independent dynamics: on the one hand, by the end-to-end control policies applied at the P2P application layer (L7); on the other hand, by Traffic Engineering (TE) decisions taken at the network level (L3). Currently available tools do not allow to study L7/L3 interaction in realistic setting...

the $k$-th semi total point graph $r^k(g)$ of a graph $g$, is a graph obtained from $g$ by adding $k$ vertices corresponding to each edge and connecting them to endpoint of edge considered. in this paper, we obtain formulae for the resistance distance and kirchhoff index of $r^k(g)$.

For planar graphs, we consider the problems of list edge coloring and list total coloring. Edge coloring is the problem of coloring the edges while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent receive different colors. Total coloring is the problem of coloring the edges and the vertices while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent, two vertices that are adjacent, or a vertex and an edge that ar...

The tissue engineering (TE) of dental oral tissue is facing significant changes in clinical treatments in dentistry. TE is based on a stem cell, signaling molecule, and scaffold triad that must be known and calibrated with attention to specific sectors in dentistry. This review article shows a summary of micro- and nanomorphological characteristics of dental tissues, of stem cells available in ...

Giving a planar graph G, let χl(G) and χ ′′ l (G) denote the list edge chromatic number and list total chromatic number of G respectively. It is proved that if a planar graph G without 6-cycles with chord, then χl(G) ≤ ∆(G) + 1 and χ ′′ l (G) ≤ ∆(G) + 2 where ∆(G) ≥ 6.

A high sugar intake is a subject of scientific debate due to the suggested health implications and recent free sugar recommendations by the WHO. The objective was to complete a food composition table for added and free sugars, to estimate the intake of total sugars, free sugars, and added sugars, adherence to sugar guidelines and overall diet quality in Dutch children and adults. In all, 3817 m...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of balance exercises in the acute post-operative phase following total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Patients who had total hip arthroplasty (n = 30) or total knee arthroplasty (n = 33) were seen in their residence 1-2 times per week for 5 weeks. At the first post-operative home visit, patients were randomly assigned to either t...
