Fractional colorings of cubic graphs with large girth [PDF]
We show that every (sub)cubic n-vertex graph with sufficiently large girth has fractional chromatic number at most 2.2978 which implies that it contains an independent set of size at least 0.4352n.

Approximating Cycles in Directed Graphs: Fast Algorithms for Girth and Roundtrip Spanners [PDF]
The girth of a graph, i.e. the length of its shortest cycle, is a fundamental graph parameter. Unfortunately all known algorithms for computing, even approximately, the girth and girth-related structures in directed weighted m-edge and n-node graphs ...

AbstractIt is shown that a graph of large girth and minimum degree at least 3 share many properties with a graph of large minimum degree. For example, it has a contraction containing a large complete graph, it contains a subgraph of large cyclic vertex-connectivity (a property which guarantees, e.g., that many prescribed independent edges are in a ...

The girths of the cubic pancake graphs
The Pancake graphs $P_n, n\geqslant 2$, are Cayley graphs over the symmetric group $\mathrm{Sym}_n$ generated by prefix-reversals. There are six generating sets of prefix-reversals of cardinality three which give connected Cayley graphs over the symmetric group known as cubic Pancake graphs. In this paper we study the girth of the cubic Pancake graphs.

Families of Small Regular Graphs of Girth 5 [PDF]
In this paper we obtain $(q+3)$--regular graphs of girth 5 with fewer vertices than previously known ones for $q=13,17,19$ and for any prime $q \ge 23$ performing operations of reductions and amalgams on the Levi graph $B_q$ of an elliptic semiplane of ...

Variables Affecting Thigh Girth Measurement and Observer Reliability in Dogs
Objective: The purpose of the study reported here was to describe variables affecting thigh girth measurements preoperatively and 2 weeks after surgical stabilization of the stifle and to examine inter- and intra-observer reliability.

Abstract Background Racehorses commonly develop evidence of mild asthma in response to dust exposure. Diets deficient in omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω‐3) might exacerbate this response. Hypothesis To compare dust exposure, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytology, and plasma Ω‐3 and specialized pro‐resolving mediators (SPM) concentrations ...

The 4-girth-thickness of the complete multipartite graph
The $g$-girth-thickness $\theta(g,G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of planar subgraphs of girth at least $g$ whose union is $G$. In this paper, we calculate the $4$-girth-thickness $\theta(4,G)$ of the complete $m$-partite graph $G$ when each ...

Estimating body mass of sperm whales from aerial photographs
Abstract Body mass is a fundamental feature of animal physiology. Although sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are the largest toothed predators on earth, body mass is seldom included in studies of their ecophysiology and bioenergetics due to the inherent difficulties of obtaining direct measurements. We used UAV‐photogrammetry to estimate the weight
