A relationship between the burning number of a graph and its domination number

Graph burning, introduced by Elham Rashanbin in 2016, has gained significant research attention in recent years. This innovative concept involves iteratively selecting nodes in a given graph to 'burn' at each time step. The previously burnt nodes then ignite the adjacent nodes, and this process continues until all nodes are burnt. The minimum number of nodes required to ignite the entire graph is known as the burning number. Similarly, the domination number of a graph refers to the size of the smallest vertex subsets that ensure every vertex in the graph is either part of the subset or adjacent to a vertex within the subset. In this paper, we demonstrate that if the domination number of a graph is at least 6, then its burning number is smaller than or equal to its domination number.

Enhancing denture esthetics using magnet retained cheek plumper- A case report

This clinical report describes a technique to improve support for sunken cheeks using magnet retained detachable acrylic cheek plumpers. The new generation of magnets with improved technology provides sufficient denture retention for clinical application. However, further follow-up may be necessary to ascertain the long-term usefulness of the magnet-retained prosthesis, because of corrosion and further loss of magnetism.

Thesis

A study to assess the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching programme regarding the hazards of plastics and prevention of its usage among the adults residing in Arumanai at Kanniyakumari district

“Reuse it or Refuse it. Beat Plastic Pollution.” Plastics are used on a daily basis throughout the world. Plastics are inexpensive, lightweight, strong durable, corrosion-resistant materials, with high thermal and electrical insulation properties. Substantial quantities of plastic have accumulated in the natural environment and landfills. Around 10 percent by weight of the municipal waste stream is plastic. Pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design for selecting samples. The setting of the study was a rural community in Arumanai in Kanniyakumari District. The sample consists of 170 adults who met the inclusion criteria. A convenience sampling technique was used for the selected samples. Ethical aspects of the study were maintained throughout the study. A modified structured questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The tool's reliability was tested before the pilot study. The first pretest was conducted to assess the level of knowledge regarding the hazards of plastics and the prevention of their usage. The video-assisted teaching program was implemented in the group for 25 minutes and a posttest was conducted on the 7th day, to reassess the level of knowledge regarding the hazards of plastics and prevention of its usage. The data gathered were analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics based on the objectives of the study. The study revealed that 42.9% of adults had excellent knowledge, and 57.1% had very good knowledge regarding the hazards of plastics and the prevention of their usage. The mean level of knowledge regarding the hazards of plastics and the prevention of their usage increased from 11.2 to 19.8 after the implementation of the video-assisted teaching program. The mean increase was statistically significant at 0.01 level (t=59.174, df= 16). There was a significant effect of the video-assisted teaching program regarding the hazards of plastics and the prevention of their usage among adults residing in Arumanai.

From Risk to Resilience: Strengthening Cyber security in Financial Institutions

The study examines the escalating cyber threats facing financial institutions, particularly the surge in state-sponsored attacks and vulnerabilities exacerbated by the pandemic's shift to remote services. Notably, ransomware incidents have surged, and transnational crime groups now exploit specialized tools. Despite robust regulatory frameworks like GLBA, FFIEC, PCI-DSS, and NIST Cybersecurity, financial entities grapple with defending against evolving threats. The study emphasizes the imperative of prioritizing cyber resilience strategies and strict adherence to regulations. Advanced measures such as encryption, machine learning, and real-time monitoring are proposed to fortify security measures. It advocates for continuous staff training to enhance awareness and adherence to evolving cybersecurity practices. Moreover, the article underscores the significance of regular risk assessments for identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring timely updates to security measures against evolving threats. Collaboration among institutions is advocated to strengthen collective defenses, enabling a unified response to cyber incidents and bolstering the overall cybersecurity posture of the financial industry. In essence, the article highlights the necessity for financial institutions to proactively embrace comprehensive strategies that encompass resilience, regulatory compliance, technological advancements, and collaborative efforts to effectively combat escalating cyber threats.

Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network Model for Question Answering Task

Question answering is a crucial task in natural language understanding, as it can be applied to a wide range of natural language processing challenges. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are commonly used as a baseline model for various sequence prediction tasks, including question answering. While RNNs excel at capturing global information over a long span of time, they may not effectively retain local information. To address this limitation, we propose a model that combines both recurrent and convolutional neural networks, allowing for end-to-end training using backpropagation. Our experiments on the bAbI dataset show that this model can significantly outperform the RNN model in question answering tasks.
