The Johnson graph J(n, N) is defined as the graph whose vertices are the n-subsets of the set {1, 2, · · · , N}, where two vertices are adjacent if they share exactly n− 1 elements. Unlike Johnson graphs, induced subgraphs of Johnson graphs (JIS for short) do not seem to have been studied before. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for a graph to be JIS, including: ...

Induced subgraphs of Johnson graphs (JIS for short) were studied first time in 2010 by R. Naimi and Jaffrey Shaw [3]. They proposed a conjecture “ The graph Δp is JIS if and only if p is odd ”. We have attacked this conjecture and have been able to prove that If p is odd then Δp is JIS. Furthermore, we have characterize all graphs of order less than 6 and of size less than 7 into JIS and Non-JI...

OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation between hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in adults of Trujillo according to diagnostic criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Observational, prospective and cross-sectional study with a sample of 500 adults in Trujillo, selected by probability sampling and stratified by sex and age. Information on anthropometric measurements, blood...

Background Based on Scoliosis Research Society guidelines, individuals with JIS over 50 degrees Cobb are usually treated surgically. The JIS surgery option in Ottawa, Canada, is the growingrod surgery, extended every 6 months until end of growth. Multiple surgery complication rate is high (57%) in this age group. On the other hand, there is a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of conservati...

Today’s buyer markets and lean supply chains require build-to-order assembly systems with just-in-sequence (JIS) deliveries. Simultaneously production systems have become prone to supply disturbances (i.e. events) that endanger the synchronized delivery of all JIS components to the assembly line. To uphold production sequence stability, rescheduling is frequently required. Current methods, howe...

As I look back on my first full year as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Insect Science (JIS), it seems like an excellent time to share an update on the state of the journal. As you may know, JIS was founded in 2000 by Henry Hagedorn as an open-access platform for insect scientists around the world to publish their work. In the 14 yr he led the journal, he built its strong reputation as a welc...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) is an aggregation of risk factors that increase the incidence of cardiovascular events and diabetes mellitus (DM). Population aging is accompanied by higher prevalence of MS, which varies depending on the population studied and the diagnostic criteria used. OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of MS in the elderly using four diagnostic criteria and agreement be...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT The main distinctive aspect of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (JIS) with respect to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the high risk of severe deformity and surgery. Approximately 70% of curves in patients with JIS progress and ultimately require surgery. There are presently very few studies with long-term follow-up of JIS and even fewer looking specifically at bracing P...

The non-feeding postlarva (puerulus) of spiny lobsters actively swims from the open ocean to the coastal habitats where it settles and molts to the first-stage juvenile (JI). Because pueruli use much of their energy reserves swimming and preparing for the post-settlement molt, the survival of JIs presumably depends on resuming feeding as soon as possible. To test this hypothesis, the resistance...
