Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Untwisting 3‐strand torus knots
Abstract We prove that the signature bound for the topological 4‐genus of 3‐strand torus knots is sharp, using McCoy's twisting method. We also show that the bound is off by at most 1 for 4‐strand and 6‐strand torus knots, and improve the upper bound on the asymptotic ratio between the topological 4‐genus and the Seifert genus of torus knots from 2/3 ...

Intrinsic knotting and linking of complete graphs [PDF]
We show that for every m in N, there exists an n in N such that every embedding of the complete graph K_n in R^3 contains a link of two components whose linking number is at least m. Furthermore, there exists an r in N such that every embedding of K_r in

Intrinsic linking and knotting of graphs in arbitrary 3-manifolds [PDF]
We prove that a graph is intrinsically linked in an arbitrary 3-manifold M if and only if it is intrinsically linked in S^3. Also, assuming the Poincare Conjecture, we prove that a graph is intrinsically knotted in M if and only if it is intrinsically ...

Regularity and Planarity of Token Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be a graph of order n and let 1 ≤ k < n be an integer. The k-token graph of G is the graph whose vertices are all the k-subsets of V, two of which are adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in G.

Additive List Coloring of Planar Graphs with Given Girth
An additive coloring of a graph G is a labeling of the vertices of G from {1, 2, . . . , k} such that two adjacent vertices have distinct sums of labels on their neighbors.

On the planarity of line Mycielskian graph of a graph
The line Mycielskian graph of a graph G, denoted by Lμ(G) is defined as the graph obtained from L(G) by adding q+1 new vertices E' = ei' : 1 ≤ i ≤ q and e, then for 1 ≤ i ≤ q , joining ei' to the neighbours of ei and to e.

Non-1-Planarity of Lexicographic Products of Graphs
In this paper, we show the non-1-planarity of the lexicographic product of a theta graph and K2. This result completes the proof of the conjecture that a graph G ◦ K2 is 1-planar if and only if G has no edge belonging to two cycles.

The Planar Index and Outerplanar Index of Some Graphs Associated to Commutative Rings
In this paper, we study the planar and outerplanar indices of some graphs associated to a commutative ring. We give a full characterization of these graphs with respect to their planar and outerplanar indices when R is a finite ring.

Long-Scale Ollivier Ricci Curvature of Graphs
We study the long-scale Ollivier Ricci curvature of graphs as a function of the chosen idleness. Similarly to the previous work on the short-scale case, we show that this idleness function is concave and piecewise linear with at most 3 linear parts.
