For Dr. Reubin Andres, the new weight charts that accompany the revised "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" are a kind of vindication.
"Victory at last!" said Dr. Andres, clinical director of the National Institute of Aging. For years, Dr. Andres has been saying that while obesity is bad at any age, death rates are lower for older people who are "over" standard-chart weights.
The new "acceptable" weight chart says the same thing: For people past 35, the upper limits are extended by about 10 pounds, and the guidelines themselves warn against excessive leanness.

...but the \1 backreference of the .{\1} counted quantifier sub-expression is not known until run time, when something may be captured that it can actually refer back to
I think it's worth pointing out that in other cases this works just fine. For example, in /(\d+) \1/, a placeholder for the captured value is compiled into the regex. I.e., the following will match
It's just that with more complex patterns, it doesn't seem to be implemented. (I don't see any compelling reason why - in principle - the count in question here couldn't just as well be compiled to refer to a captured value.)

The three Gritter brothers are still giving their mother plenty to worry about.
It`s not because the three sometimes drive fast, stay out late at night and get involved in accidents, although they do just that in the occupation they all share.
Mrs. Gritter gets worried because her three sons are still playing with fire as members of the Pompano Beach Fire Department.
``It worries my mother sometimes, but it would worry any mother,`` says Scott Gritter, who is, at age 21, the youngest and greenest Gritter on the department. ``She takes comfort in the fact that we`re not all here at the same time.``
And because they also work out of different fire stations, the Gritter brothers rarely see each other on the job. Scott works at the station near Palm-Aire, while brothers Bruce and Tim sometimes work the same shift at the firehouse next to Pompano Air Park.
``Usually, there`s always a Gritter on duty,`` joked Bruce. ``When one of us is going off, another one is usually coming on.``
Bruce, 35, started his firefighting career in Pompano Beach in 1977. Tim, 31, joined two years later, and Scott started in January.
All three brothers are firefighters and certified emergency medical technicians. In addition, they are experienced plumbers, having learned the trade from their stepfather.

Live from camp: Sleep is important ...
Editor's note: Each day, one of our 11 student writers at June Intermediate Camp will reflect on life learning the journalism ropes at the University of St. Thomas. Come back each day to revel in the fun (and hard work) of being a ThreeSixty residential camper. Also, check out our student bios, complete with awesome headshots by Aidan Haarman.
The first two days of camp are officially over, but since we've been doing so much, it feels like I've been here for a week.
The first day of camp was pretty typical with all the awkward, "Hi, my name's Simone." "What's yours?" "What school do you go to?" and "How old are you?" but by the end of the night, everything seemed to be going pretty well and it was like we had already known each other.
All of us ended up staying up 'til way past midnight, which we learned wasn't such a smart idea when we all got up to walk and run along the Mississippi River at 6 a.m. Not that it wasn't fun. The run was just the thing I needed to jumpstart my day, especially after not getting enough sleep the night before.
The jumpstart was good because today we pretty much learned everything we needed to know about journalism.
We started out with Lynda and Tom reading and discussing stories in the news and then went on to learn what news really is, and what really makes a journalist. Then, after sitting in a classroom all morning, we had lunch outside, and I got a chance to get to know my fellow campers even more.
But soon it was right back to work. We all sat under a tree with Katie and read a personal essay by another ThreeSixty writer about bullying to help us write our own stories in the future.
Then we went back inside and learned the dos and don'ts of journalism, otherwise known as "The 'Tom' Commandments of Interviewing."
Once we finished that, we brainstormed ideas and then went out to interview total strangers on the St. Thomas campus, which was really scary at first. But once we got into it, it ended up being a lot of fun. I ended up getting a pretty good interview with another teen on privacy and the Internet.
After that, we still had one more class to go to – "Shooting Great Videos" with Rick Hendrickson at UST. By then, the combination of not getting enough sleep and the excitement of the day had finally caught up to us and, unfortunately, even though the class was really interesting, all of us were fighting to keep our eyes open.
But we all made it through, and after the meeting was finally over, we ended the day with dinner at The View – where each of us shared our high points and low points of the day. My high was having an awesome interview but, really, I need sleep.

Herbs for Back Pain
- At March 26, 2017
- By Kyle
- In Blogs
- 0
Do you suffer from back pain? Did you know that you can use herbal remedies to relieve back pain? As people become more and more aware of the adverse side effects of painkillers and opioids, more and more are looking for alternatives to relieve pain. The good news is that there are many ways to ease the suffering without having to turn to prescription medication.
Herbs can be used for the relief of Back Pain, so let us take a look at a few that can ease muscle pain and reduce inflammation.
Cat's Claw
Cat's Claw can be taken orally as a tablet, capsule or by drinking it in a tea. It has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in reducing swelling. Inflammation and swelling are often associated with back problems like joint inflammation, spinal arthritis and herniated discs. While this particular herb is very helpful to treat the symptoms, it should be used in moderation as it is very powerful can over stimulate the immune system.
Boswellia is commonly available in tablet form and has high anti-inflammatory properties. Boswellia works by blocking a substance called leukotrienes, known to attack joints, resulting in reduced motion and pain.
Tumeric and Ginger
These two are very easy to add to your diet, they are delicious and in addition to their anti-inflammatory properties hold a range of other beneficial qualities.
Valerian Root
Valerian root has many beneficial properties and is commonly used to aid in anxiety and insomnia as it is relaxing. If you are experiencing muscle-related back pain, Valerian can be a great way to ease the pain; the relaxing properties extend to the muscles and aid to reduce nerve sensitivity. Making it fantastic for conditions like muscle spasms, muscle injuries and other muscle related pain. Valerian can cause drowsiness so is best taken at night.
White Willow Bark
White Willow bark can be taken as a tablet or prepared as a tea. This remedy has been in use for centuries to treat inflammation. It contains salicin, a chemical with properties similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) which aids in pain reduction. While White Willow Bark has multiple benefits, it should be used in moderation as an overdose can lead to increased inflammation and worsen your pain and potentially cause other health concerns.
There are many ways to treat the symptoms of back pain including the use of inversion therapy (read inversion table reviews), floatation therapy and physiotherapy. However, the best way to treat the symptoms of back pain and ultimately arrive at a long-term solution is, in fact, to use a combination of treatments and observe the underlying causes of the condition.
Back pain is often the result of many contributing factors including bad lifting habits, poor posture, too much time with electronic devices and poor diet. The best way to ensure the spinal health and all round wellbeing is to follow a healthy eating plan that includes all the essential nutrients, get regular exercise, develop good posture and plenty of good quality rest.

Nonlinear dynamics and instability of aqueous dissolution of silicate glasses and minerals
Aqueous dissolution of silicate glasses and minerals plays a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles and climate evolution. The reactivity of these materials is also important to numerous engineering applications including nuclear waste disposal. The dissolution process has long been considered to be controlled by a leached surface layer in which cations in the silicate framework are gradually leached out and replaced by protons from the solution. This view has recently been challenged by observations of extremely sharp corrosion fronts and oscillatory zonings in altered rims of the materials, suggesting that corrosion of these materials may proceed directly through congruent dissolution followed by secondary mineral precipitation. Here we show that complex silicate material dissolution behaviors can emerge from a simple positive feedback between dissolution-induced cation release and cation-enhanced dissolution kinetics. This self-accelerating mechanism enables a systematic prediction of the occurrence of sharp dissolution fronts (vs. leached surface layers), oscillatory dissolution behaviors and multiple stages of glass dissolution (in particular the alteration resumption at a late stage of a corrosion process). In conclusion, our work provides a new perspective for predicting long-term silicate weathering rates in actual geochemical systems and developing durable silicate materials for various engineering applications.

Washington State releases more hatchery fish than all other West Coast states combined
Data found in Kathryn Kostow's latest paper on the risks posed by hatchery programs shows that in Washington State an estimated 280 million hatchery fish are released into the wild annually, this is more than all other West Coast states combined, yet Washington State has arguably the weakest wild stocks of any state with the exception of Idaho. Hatchery fish have proven in many ways to be an inadequate replacement for wild fish lost to habitat degradation and in most cases are probably causing further declines through genetic and ecological interactions with wild fish.

The youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland is to be married next summer – to Prince Harry's best friend.
Lady Melissa Percy is engaged to Mr Thomas van Straubenzee, 30.
The 25-year-old will be following in the footsteps of her sister, Lady Katie, with nuptials taking place in Alnwick.
And it is believed that the ceremony will take place in July.
Lady Melissa, 25, is a tennis coach at the prestigious Queen's Club and lives in London.
Mr van Straubenzee, also lives in the capital and runs VanHan, a London estate agency.
His parents live in Leicestershire.
Royalty is anticipated to be at the wedding next year, as Prince Harry is best friends with the groom-to-be, who was also an usher at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton last year.
Mr van Straubenzee and the princes also attended Ludgrove prep school and Eton together.
The wedding will take place at St Michael's Church, on Bailiffgate, Alnwick, which has been the spiritual home of the Percy family for generations.
It is likely to be conducted by Rev Paul Scott who said: "I am very pleased about the news.
"It will be something really nice to look forward to after the death of Duchess Elizabeth and is an opportunity to focus on something positive and bright."
It is the same venue as Lady Katie's wedding to city financier Patrick Valentine, in February last year, which saw hundreds of well-wishers lining the streets.
Mr van Straubenzee was at his fiancée's side in Alnwick at a service of thanksgiving, held for Lady Melissa's grandmother, Elizabeth, Duchess of Northumberland, on Monday.
The couple, who have been courting since 2009, move in royal circles and it is expected that a number of high profile guests, alongside Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton and Prince Harry will be invited to the occasion.
Other names on the guest list could include Pippa Middleton, the Duchess's sister who has been linked to Lady Melissa's older brother, Earl George Percy and Princess Nora Oettingen-Spielburg, who is said to be dating her younger brother, Lord Max Percy.
The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland said: "We are absolutely delighted that Melissa and Tom have become engaged. We have known Tom for several years now and we like him enormously. We look forward to his becoming a member of the family. No date has yet been agreed for the wedding, but we expect it to take place at Alnwick next summer."

I finally had a spare moment to notice what I was wearing, and also had a camera ready- the stars aligned today- so I dragged my brother outside.
Unfortunately I have no anecdote to share as I'm juggling a variety of assignments in classes. Now I think I've hit the point where all I want is Spring Break, and nothing else really fits in my mind.
I do feel the need to tell you that my expression in the first picture was due to my neighbor's cat nearby. I'm dreadfully allergic and so whenever a cat is close, I stare at it until it feels uncomfortable (that's the goal at least) and it leaves. In the first picture I'm in full observance mode.

text: The Identity was created as diploma project during the study on Graphic design course in Projector school of design and development. The brief was provided by real client who was preparing for openning the bakery. The key points were to combine traditions of bread baking with modern creative approaches, to create young, craft and eco-oriented style. The name Brot Garten was given by the client. The basis for logo was made with inspiration from millstone image and remade in a way to gain more deep meaning with allusion to leaf pattern or branches (depending on color) to match the name. Beige, wine-red and light green were chosen as brand colors and could be combined in any way. Logo is also presented in 3 colors.

VMW04 - Advanced VMware® Security Ultimate Bootcamp®
This course goes beyond the typical security protocols administrators use to secure their environments & delves much deeper into the actual working (& shortcomings) of the VMware environment. Students will take a 360 degree look at the potential threats
- Course Outline
A critical and often overlooked aspect of migrating to a virtualized environment is security and setting up security properly. Like physical machines, virtualization technologies are not secure "out of the box" and VMware is no exception. The Advanced VMware Security course focuses on "where the vulnerabilities lie" and how to reduce the attack surfaces in the virtualized environment.
This course goes beyond the typical security protocols administrators use to secure their environments and delves much deeper into the actual working (and shortcomings) of the VMware environment. Students will take a 360 degree look at the potential threats, how to defend and defeat them, and establish a solid foundation to build secure virtual data centers from the ground up.
Course Summary
- Learn the actual internal workings of VMware, and compare them to physical and virtual devices
- Discover how to securely set up port groups and VLANSUnderstand the aspect of securing failover configurations
- Distinguish between Denial of Service Failovers that wide open failovers and closed failovers
- Dive deep into the different layers of security and explore features to include how traffic routes between VM's and different hosts, common denominators of
- Physical and Virtual Environments, and how to make the virtual environment the most secure
- Walk away knowing how to secure a VMware environment in a DMZ and how to protect yourself from the common vulnerabilities of VMware attack surfaces from the eyes of an attacker
- Receive in depth information on how to harden you ESX environment, and comprehensively understand all aspects of how to do that
- Demonstrate their proficiency in class working on a state-of-the-art data center and performing hands-on labs to reinforce the learning objectives
- Course developed and taught by a Licensed Penetration Tester who has a long history of vulnerability audits with US National Security Teams and audits of many foreign governments

Oscar-winning singer Adele could be set to tour in 2015 after getting back into the studio to record new songs.
The 'Someone Like You' singer will head out on the road again next year after spending time being a mother to her
15-month-old son Angelo with long term boyfriend Simon Konecki, reported Daily Mirror.
"At the moment the discussions are all about a 2015 tour of the UK and North America at least, possibly a world tour. She has managed to spend a lot of the past two years focusing on being a mother, and wants to continue to do that while releasing and promoting new material," a source said.
"She has been back to work but is recording at her own pace. Her appeal has always been the quality of her music so she isn't about to rush release anything just for the sake of it."
The 25-year-old singer vowed not to tour again until Angelo turned two although she has been in the studio with
composer James Ford and singer/songwriter Kid Harpoon, who has worked with the likes of Florence and the Machine.
Her last tour accompanied her multi-platinum record '21', released in 2011, although she was forced to cancel shows after suffering a hemorrhage on her vocal chords. She underwent surgery and has been adamant she doesn't
want to tour until next year even if the new album is released before the end of the 2014.

Get a Room
When other parents ask me for advice on keeping the home fires burning I tell them, ironically, to see solace in the nearest hotel.
Seriously. Sometimes it's not just a matter of getting the kids to sleep and lighting a few candles. The bedroom is still part of the house and the house is where so many of the stresses are, like the rent and the dishes and the lawn that needs to be mowed.
Getting into a fresh anonymous hotel room helps you leave it all that domesticity behind. No hamper in the corner hissing out its message of tasks to do. No chance of being interrupted by a sleepy toddler. No noticing the crack in the ceiling and wondering what and when and how to fix it.
Is a hotel room an extravagance? Maybe not. You could go to a decent restaurant, eat a meal with a couple glasses of wine and be looking at a bill for $125. Or you could hop on priceline, bid $75 for a hotel and see what you get. I got a four star in downtown San Francisco. Our hotel date was fun little sexcation, and we didn't even stay the whole night!
Way better than dinner and a movie and getting home to tired to fuck. On your hotel date, put sex first, and if you're hungry afterwards, raid the minibar.

You know, I really enjoy this blog, but this post kind-of pissed me off. My partner and I consider a thirty dollar restaurant meal to be an extravagance, so spending seventy dollars or more on a date is just unthinkable. Perhaps every now and then you could aim a post at those of us with very small incomes who still try to enjoy vibrant sex lives.

UTSA students creating video games for injured veterans
Reprinted from UTSA Today article
(Nov. 30, 2017) -- John Quarles, associate professor of computer science at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), is taking a new approach to his students' final projects in his video game development class this semester. He's partnered with local non-profit Gamerz 4 Vets, which aims to rehabilitate injured veterans through gaming, and asked his students to create a video game specifically tailored to a disabled veteran.
The partnership began in July, when Quarles was approached by Nathan Gonzalez '13, a Marine veteran and the founder of Gamerz 4 Vets. The organization helps veterans with physical disabilities such as spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, amputation or mental illness.
"Sometimes a person can have unseen injuries, like anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder," Gonzalez said. "Gaming can allow someone to rehabilitate their dexterity, hand-eye coordination and general focus."
Gonzalez graduated from UTSA in 2013 with a degree in business management, and has since put that to work by creating Gamerz 4 Vets. When he had the idea to partner with a game developer, he returned to his alma mater and was directed to Quarles.
"Nathan got in touch with me and told me about his vision for Gamerz 4 Vets. It occurred to me that this could be a unique opportunity for students in the game development course to learn about accessible gaming, but also actually make a difference in these veterans' lives," Quarles said. "So far, it's been an exciting experience and one that the students have really become passionate about."
Quarles is no stranger to creating rehabilitative games. The UTSA professor has multiple sclerosis (MS) and previously received a National Science Foundation grant to support the continued development of a rehabilitative underwater virtual reality game called Shark Punch. It allows people with MS to exercise in a pool, which prevents overheating of the extremities. Additionally, his students have taken on game development in relation to topics like cybersecurity in the past, so he felt assured they were up to the task of aiding veterans.
"The work of our students in Dr. Quarles's class is wonderful example of the important work they contribute to the community," said Rajendra Boppana, chair of the UTSA Department of Computer Science. "I'm very excited to see the finished games and the tremendous positive impact I'm sure they will have."
Groups of four to five students in Quarles' class are each partnering with a veteran affiliated with Gamerz 4 Vets. The disabilities the veterans are coping with include paraplegia and near-complete blindness.
One student group, made up of junior Trase Westbrook seniors Andrew Sanetra, Clifford Hill and Edward Mondragon, is working with a female veteran who is quadriplegic.
"We met with her a few weeks ago and now we're in the early stages of creating the game," Sanetra said. "She gave us a few suggestions and let us know what her gaming preferences are. But mainly what she wants is a game she can play because there aren't many at all that she can play."
The group is creating its game using technology that would allow their veteran to play by moving her eyes. It takes place in outer space, allowing the player to gather resources, craft upgrades, destroy enemies and progress to higher levels.
Mondragon, whose life's ambition is to become a professional game developer, is excited by the challenge and moved by the mission of Gamerz 4 Vets.
"We play video games every day and take it for granted," Mondragon said. "Some of these veterans haven't been able to play in years. To be able to give that back to them is amazing."
The UTSA students are currently developing their video games, and will present them to Quarles, Gonzalez and their partnering veterans as the semester ends in December.
"When I registered for the class, I had no idea we were going to do this," Sanetra said. "It's been a really rewarding experience to make something that actually matters for someone and will hopefully make a big impact in their life."
UTSA is ranked among the nation's top four young universities, according to Times Higher Education.

(Caveat: I am an IAB Board member, and Comscore is an FM partner)
Today the IAB released a strongly worded – for an industry coalition, anyway – letter asking that the twin pillars of measurement in the interactive advertising universe – Neilsen and Comscore – submit to audits of how they measure, and in general work with the IAB to better measure interactive audiences. This marks the first public move by new IAB CEO Randall Rothenberg, and it's sure to get some attention.
I'm both pleased with this move and hopeful that the response will be positive. I am a big fan of the folks at Comscore and we are working together diligently to come up with better measurement of the conversational media arena. But that's just one piece of a larger puzzle. We can and should do better.
From the IAB release:
The goal of the IAB and the entire Interactive industry is simple: to achieve transparency in audience counts and to revise out-of-date methodologies.
For the Interactive industry, one that is committed to delivering accountability, integrity in audience measurement is a fundamental necessity. But, despite a multiplicity of reported discrepancies in audience measurements, comScore and NNR each has resisted numerous requests for audits by the IAB and the Media Ratings Council since 1999.
In order to establish the source of these discrepancies, and to find the potential solutions, the IAB is asking that both comScore and NNR obtain audits of their technologies and processes by the Media Rating Council (MRC).
The discrepancies exist between the audience measurements of comScore and NNR and those of the server logs of the IAB's own members. Further compounding these differences are the disparities between comScore's and NNR's own measurement results. All measurement companies that report audience metrics have a material impact on interactive marketing and decision-making. Therefore, transparency into these methodologies is critical to maintaining advertisers' confidence in interactive, particularly now, as marketers allocate more budget to the platform.
Without these audits, the industry has no way of knowing whether these deviations in measurement result from inconsistent counting or from outdated measurement methodologies, such as the panels developed in the 1930s and still relied on today.

FIFA 16 Team of the Week Features Neymar, Muller, More
FIFA 16 is one of the biggest releases of the year, and like clockwork the development team at EA Sports is ready to deliver yet another Team of the Week package for the Ultimate Team mode, with some players that can improve every starting eleven with their skill.
The studio has selected the featured footballers by evaluating their performance in matches over the weekend when Neymar once again managed to lead Barcelona to victory, even as Messi continues to be injured, and Muller, who is one of the best and most constant players in the German championship.
The attackers selected for the FIFA 16 Team of the Week include Lacazette and Kalou, quality finishers that can offer options for any team.
When it comes to midfield, gamers will be able to choose from a group including Neymar, Muller, Parejo, Konoplyanka and Nainggolan.
The defenders selected by EA Sports are Shawcross, Maroh and Layun.
When it comes to the goalkeeper position, gamers who get the Team of the Week for Ultimate Team will be able to select Marshall.
The package also contains the classic seven substitutes, lesser players who might find a spot in a starting eleven if the gamer does not have a better option.
Once the new Team of the Week is launched, buyers will be able to experiment with the new players and to see which of them fits best in their tactical setup and improves the overall Chemistry rating of the first eleven.
EA Sports is also continuing the tradition of delivering another five players to make sure that the player base has plenty of options.
FIFA 16 just received a third title update on all platforms
EA Sports has been delivering changes to the core mechanics of the simulation, but no major features have been added or eliminated since launch, a sign that the studio is mostly satisfied with the experience the title offers.
The recent third title update arrived on the PC, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 and introduces a better online matchmaking system that should make sure equally skilled gamers are pitted against each other.
There are also some smaller tweaks and a fix that eliminates a bug that could lead to an exploit in the Seasons mode.
EA Sports is continuing to listen to feedback from the fan base and to track data from online matches to improve the game even more in the coming months.
A big update for the FIFA series often arrives in late January or early February of the post-launch year, when the development team can also update the rosters for teams using winter transfer info.
There are usually also tweaks to the ratings of some of the biggest players, based on their performance.
In the meantime, the player community is waiting to see what kind of events EA Sports is planning to launch for the Ultimate Team mode.
The newly introduced Draft experience, which uses a semi-random approach for team selection, is well suited for quick and engaging tournaments with high risks and rewards.

The angry left is really handling the election results well.
An anti-bullying advocate was arrested near Trump Tower for shoving an elderly man to the ground Thursday night in a dispute over the election results, cops said.
Brooklyn resident Shacara McLaurin, 23, got into a heated dispute with the 74-year-old man about 10:45 p.m. on the second night of protests outside Trump's Midtown skyscraper.
The exact details of the argument are unclear, but the woman is accused of pushing the Manhattan resident to the ground at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street — about a block from Trump Tower, cops said.
The victim suffered a cut to his head and complained of severe pain.
He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
McLaurin, who lives in Bushwick, was charged with two counts of assault — a felony and a misdemeanor — and is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday afternoon.
Remember, BLM is a mostly peaceful domestic terror group.
The fracas started as an argument over who should have won the presidential election — and quickly escalated, a police source said.
"She was yelling 'Black lives matter' and he started yelling 'All lives matter' and it went from there," the source said.
Robert Cohen: Why this wave of student protests is different
McLaurin shoved the Trump fan to the ground — opening up a gash on the back of his head, cops said. He was taken to an area hospital with a minor injury, officials said.
"An anti-bullying advocate was arrested near Trump Tower for shoving an elderly man to the ground…" Peak 2016. @nypmetro

This is the fourth article in the Graph Theory – Online Classes.
After learning the basic graph operations, its time to dive deeper and have some understanding about the complex operations which we can be done over a graph or a set of graphs. To learn about the basics you can always visit Graph Theory Basics.
Complex Graph Operations
Union of Graphs
The union of two graphs G(VG, EG) and H(VH, EH) is the union of their vertex sets and their edge families. Which means G ∪ H = (VG ∪ VH, EG ∪ EH).
The below image shows a union of graph G and graph H. Make sure that all the vertices and edges from both the graphs are present in the union. If possible draw it once yourself.
Now there can be a special case in the union where the VG and VH are disjoint. In this case the Union is referred to as disjoint Union and it is denoted by G + H .
Below image shows how it looks.
Note that the vertex sets are disjoint in the two graphs.
Intersection of Graphs
The intersection of two graphs G(VG, EG) and H(VH, EH) is the union of their vertex sets and the intersection of their edge families. Which means G ∩ H = (VG ∪ VH, EG ∩ EH).
Below image demonstrate the Intersection of the two Graphs.
Notice that the vertex set is a union of both the vertex sets but the edge family consists only the edges which exist in both the graphs G and H.
Graph Join
Given two graphs G(VG, EG) and H(VH, EH), the join Graph will contain the union of the two graphs and all edges which can connect the vertices of G to vertices of H.
Below is an image to demonstrate that.
Note that the join graph contains new edges ( which join the vertices of G to vertices of H ) apart from the disjoint union.
Difference of Graphs
Given two graphs G(VG, EG) and H(VH, EH), the difference Graph G – H will contain the union of the vertices of two graphs G and H and the edges in the difference is the difference of edges which is EG – EH
Few points
- The Graph Difference of any graph and itself is an empty graph. Which means G – G = Empty Graph.
- The vertices of the Graph Difference (G – H) are the union of the vertices of the graphs G and H
- The edges of the Graph Difference (G – H) are the complement of the edges of the graphs G and H.
- The Graph Difference (G – H) of two graphs has the same vertices as Graph Union (G ∪ H)
- The Graph Difference (G – H) of two graphs has the same vertices as Graph Intersection G ∩ H
Below is an image to demonstrate the Graph Difference.
union of the two vertes
Note that the vertex set is the union of the two vertex sets where as the edges in the difference is the family of edges which are present in G but not in H.
Graph Complement
The complement of graph G(V, E) is a graph that has the same vertices as G but the edges defined by two vertices in the complement is adjacent only if they are not adjacent in G(V, E).
Few points
- The Graph complement G' is also called edge complement.
- Vertex set is same for both G and G'.
- Edges in G' are not present in G.
- The union of G and G' is a complete graph.
- The complement of a complete Graph is a Null Graph.
Below is a demonstration of Graph Complement.
Note that the edges in G are not present in G'
Power Graph
The Power Graph of Graph G(V, E) is always calculated with respect to a constant k. Which means we will always say that the kth power of G and not just power of G. The kth power of G is a graph with the same set of vertices as G and an edge between two vertices in the Power Graph exists only if there is a path of length at most k between them.
Consider the below graph G(V, E), and lets say that we need to derive its square, which means the value of k is 2.
So the graph will result into the graph on the right.
Note that the vertices 1 and 3 are connected because the there exists a path of length two or less in the original graph..
Similarly there exists paths of length two or less between {2, 4}, {3, 5}, {4, 1}, {5, 2 }, hence these vertices are connected in the power graph.
This concludes that all the graph are the first power of themselves. Which means if value of k is 1 then we get the same graph. And if the adjacency matrix of G is A then each cell (i,j) of A1 will give you the number of paths of length 1 between i and j.
Lets take another example. Again let the value of k is 2. Consider the graph below.
The edges {1,3}, {2,3}, {3,4}, {4,6}, {5,1} and {6,2} are connected because they have a path length of 2 or less between them in the original graph.
The edges {1,4}, {2,5} and {3,6} are not connected because the length of the path between them is three which is more than two.
We define a theorem which says that "when an adjacency matrix is raised to power k, then the element at index (i,j) of the matrix gives the total number of paths of length k between the vertices i and j".
Let us validate this with the adjacency matrix of the above graph. Here is the adjacency matrix A and its square. Checking the values we see that index {1,3} and {1,5} has values 1 which means there are exactly one path of length two between {1,3} and {1,5} each. Also checking the values at index {1,1} or {2,2} or any diagonal element the values are 2 each, which means there are exactly two paths of length two from vertex 1 to itself or 2 to itself or so no.
This also gives another theorem that the kth power of graph G can also be defined as the graph whose adjacency matrix is given by the sum of the first k powers of the adjacency matrix because it counts all path of lengths from 1 up to k.
Also, it can be proven that raising any graph to the power of its graph diameter gives a complete graph. I believe we didn't discuss about the diameter of a graph. SO let us do the needful now.
"The diameter of a graph is the length of the shortest path between the most distanced nodes. It measures the extent of a graph and the topological length between two nodes."
The complete graph is possible because the diameter is the longest path possible between the farthest nodes. This means that if we raise the graph to power of diameter, we will end up connecting all the vertices where the distance between them is less than or equal to diameter. Ideally that would be like connecting all the vertices with each other.
Let us validate this using the below graph, the length of the shortest path between the farthest nodes is three and so on.
So now in the graph at the right side we connect all the vertices where the path length is either 2 or 3.
Line Graph
A line graph L(G) for a Graph G(V, E) is defined in a ways such that
- Each vertex of L(G) represents an edge of G.
- Two vertices of L(G) are adjacent if and only if their corresponding edges in G share a common endpoint.
Here is some more details on Line Graph if you want to read about it now.
Below is a demonstrations to the Line Graph.
This is the introduction to Line Graphs. We will dedicate one full post to understand the usages of the Line Graph as it is very important.
We will close this post here. Hope you enjoyed reading. Don't forget to subscribe to TechieMe to get updates on latest posts.
