Proper connection number of graphs
The concept of \emph{proper connection number} of graphs is an extension of proper colouring and is motivated by rainbow connection number of graphs. Let $G$ be an edge-coloured graph. Andrews et al.\cite{Andrews2016} and, independently, Borozan et al.\cite{Borozan2012} introduced the concept of …

Proper scoring rules : properties and applications
Proper and strictly proper scoring rules provide a rigorous method for evaluating the accuracy of a probabilistic forecast while encouraging honesty. In this dissertation, we develop new proper and strictly proper scoring rules. We introduce additive and strongly additive scoring rules that can be …

Proper decompositions of finitely presented groups
… group G, determining whether it admits a proper decomposition as an amalgamated free product or HNN-extension is often not straightforward. In a presentation 2-complex for G, there are special subsets called patterns and tracks. Bass-Serre theory and van Kampen's theorem show that given …

Invariant proper holomorphic maps between balls
We consider proper holomorphic maps between balls that are invariant under the action of finite groups of unitary matrices. We are primarily interested in actions of groups that are fixed-point-free; for purposes of comparison we will briefly consider matrix groups that act with fixed points (that …

Hybrid density functionals with proper exact exchange
Hybrid density functionals have the best overall performance among standard density func-tional approximations (DFA). According to their original design, hybrid DFAs are supposedto use the exact exchange (EXX). However, when hybrid functionals were originally intro-duced, there was no simple method …

Determining the proper law of arbitration agreements
This thesis examines the proper law of arbitration agreements, with particular focus on English law following the enactment of the Arbitration Act 2025. The central problem arises where parties choose the law governing their main contract and the seat of arbitration, but fail expressly to choose …

Improving Patients' Pain Management Through Proper Documentation
<p>The aim of this project was to improve pain documentation on the Surgical Unit as a means to enhance caregiver communication on finding the best methods to manage patients’ pain. Effectively managing patients’ pain leads to better patient outcomes, increased patient and nurse satisfaction, and …

Proper holomorphic mappings in several complex variables
… a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\doubc\sp{N}$ is proper if the sequence $\{f(zj)\}$ tends to the boundary of $\Omega$ for every sequence $\{zj\}$ which tends to the boundary of D. Let f be a proper holomorphic mapping from the unit ball in $\doubc\sp{n}$ to the unit ball in $\doubc\sp{N}$ for $N …

System Identification via the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition
… is entirely unknown. The methods use the proper orthogonal decomposition of measured response data combined with linear system theory to construct a model for predicting the response of an arbitrary linear or nonlinear system without any knowledge of the equations of motion. Separate …

An investigation into the doctrine of proper purpose
The doctrine of proper purpose relates to the manner in which directors exercise their powers. Its origins are to be found in the fiduciary relationship in which a director stands towards his company and the concomitant duty that this relationship imports, namely, to use his office and to exercise …

Individuation, identity and proper names in cognitive development
… component of the human mind and is critical to proper name reference (i.e. a proper name, like lvfax, refers to a unique individual, namely Max). Philosophers have proposed that sortals-concepts which refer to kinds of individuals-support these abilities (Gupta, 1980; Hirsch, 1982; Macnamara, …

Compensation Between Foxp Transcription Factors Maintains Proper Striatal Function
Spiny projection neurons (SPNs) of the striatum are critical in integrating neurochemical information to coordinate motor and reward-based behavior. Mutations in the regulatory transcription factors expressed in SPNs can result in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Paralogous transcription …

Our Savior and King: Theology proper in 1 Timothy
… the author seeks to present a holistic theology proper (hereafter, simply "theology") for the first epistle to Timothy, with special regard to the letter's doxologies (King) and divine title, Savior. Chapter 1 identifies the problem, includes a history of research, and describes the method and …

Consensus for the proper management of asymptomatic third molars
… dentistry may be the answer for the proper management of third molars. Discouraging the practice of prophylactic removal of third molars could result in billions of dollars in saving, elimination of millions of days of discomfort, and prevention of permanent injury to tens of …

Regulation of filopodia dynamics is critical for proper synapse formation
Despite the importance of proper synaptogenesis in the CNS, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the formation and development of synapses remain poorly understood. Indeed, the mechanisms through which initial synaptic contacts are established and modified during synaptogenesis have not been …

Mechanisms That Ensure the Proper Terminal Structure of Mammalian Telomeres
<p>The telomeric single-stranded 3' overhang, a conserved feature at the ends of linear chromosomes, is thought to contribute to the important functions of end protection and telomere length homeostasis. Here, I investigated the mechanism by which the overhang is generated and maintained at …
