Zero Forcing Number of Random Regular Graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The zero forcing process is an iterative graph colouring process in which at each time step a coloured vertex with a single uncoloured neighbour can force this neighbour to become coloured. A zero forcing set of a graph is an initial set of coloured vertices that can eventually force the entire graph to be coloured.

Dental disease in rabbits under UK primary veterinary care: Clinical management and associated welfare impacts

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dental disease is a painful and highly prevalent condition in companion rabbits. However, the dental disease management techniques currently employed by UK primary‐care veterinarians and potential associated clinical welfare implications are scarcely described.

Comparing vacuum‐assisted closure against conventional approach in severe deep neck infection: A retrospective case‐control study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To compare the effectiveness of vacuum‐assisted closure (VAC) against traditional drainage technique, using a retrospective case‐control study design, in terms of managing deep neck infections (DNIs). Methods Patients presenting to Peking Union Medical College Hospital diagnosed with DNIs were recruited in this study.

The Foundation for Developing an Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of Temporomandibular Disorders [PDF]

arXiv
Temporomandibular disorders affect a significant portion of the population, often causing pain and restricted jaw movement. Physiotherapy with active jaw exoskeletons seems to be a promising treatment approach. However, there has been limited progress in this area, with only a few studies published.

Complete metamorphosis promotes morphological and functional diversity in Caudata

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Metamorphosis, a common and spectacular developmental process, involves major phenotypic changes often linked to environmental transitions. Understanding how these changes affect morphological evolution is crucial for examining metamorphosis's evolutionary impacts.

Exploring the Link Between Headache, Possible Sleep Bruxism and Self‐Medication in Adolescents

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Adolescents predominantly suffer from headaches and sleep bruxism. Yet, the association between both conditions remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between primary headaches and possible sleep bruxism in adolescents. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted from August 24 to October 13, 2022, with 567 adolescents

Mandibular condyle changes in rats with unilateral masticatory function

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 37-45, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Certain malocclusions or unilateral tooth loss can lead to asymmetric functional load of the two mandibular sides during mastication and induce skeletal asymmetries to the condylar process of growing individuals. However, in adults, asymmetric function may have a different impact. The aim of the present study was to investigate three‐

Structural connections between a forcing class and its modal logic [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
The modal logic of forcing arises when one considers a model of set theory in the context of all its forcing extensions, interpreting necessity as "in all forcing extensions" and possibility as "in some forcing extension". In this modal language one may easily express sweeping general forcing principles, such as the assertion that every possibly ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Chin up: A novel functional explanation for the evolution of the chin

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The human chin, also frequently referred to as the mental prominence, is a part of the human anatomy whose evolutionary origin and function have divided scientific opinion to this day. There were suggestions it could have been used in defence, assisted in the mastication process, aided in the formation of words (i.e.
