In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers for large classes of graphs, and show that, for almost all graphs, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination num...

Although restrained eaters try to limit their food intake, they often fail and indulge in exactly those foods that they want to avoid. A possible explanation is a temporal attentional bias for food cues. It could be that for these people food stimuli are processed relatively efficiently and require less attentional resources to enter awareness. Once a food stimulus has captured attention, it ma...

This study examined biases in attention and memory toward body-related images among restrained (n=31) and unrestrained (n=29) eaters. Attentional allocation to images of thin and overweight bodies during a visual search task was measured by tracking participants' eyegaze. This task was followed by a recognition test assessing participants' memory for those images. Restrained and unrestrained ea...

BACKGROUND There has been limited research about disordered eating in middle-aged women, and to date, few data exist about restrained eating behavior in postmenopausal women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine eating behavior with a specific focus on menopause as an associated factor in restrained eating. Beyond this, we were interested in how postmenopausal status and self-esteem ...

Obesity is a global public health priority. Restrained eating is related to obesity and total energy intake but associations with the eating patterns are unclear. We examined the associations of restrained eating with the size and frequency of intake occasions among 1213 British adult (19-64 y) participants in a cross-sectional analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2000. The Dut...

This paper discusses an inverse dynamics problem and proposes a trajectory generation method for wiresuspended mechanisms. The wire-suspended mechanisms are classi ed into two types, which are completely restrained type mechanisms and incompletely restrained type mechanisms. For the incompletely restrained type mechanisms, consideration of dynamics is important, because the motion of this mecha...

OBJECTIVE We examined the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences to restrained eating. METHOD Restrained eating was assessed by the Restraint Scale in a survey mailed to all twins enrolled in the University of Washington Twin Registry. We used structural equation modeling to estimate genetic and nongenetic contributions to restrained eating. RESULTS 1,196 monozygotic...

the present study assesses the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (smfs) retrofitted with different bracing systems. two structural configurations were utilized: ordinary concentrically braces (ocbfs), buckling-restrained braces (brbfs). a 7-story and 18-story steel perimeter smfs were designed with insufficient lateral stiffness to satisfy code drift limitations in high seism...

AIM To compare the injury distribution between children and adults, injured as restrained car passengers. METHODS Population based study of data from a French road trauma registry in 1996-2002. Children under 15 years old were compared with adult casualties according to the distribution of serious injuries in three distinct body regions (head, chest, and abdomen) when they were restrained car...
