A sequence $\pi=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ is graphic if there is a simple graph $G$ with vertex set $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ such that the degree of $v_i$ is the $i$th...
There is a need for a common reference point that will allow for the comparison of the optical properties of tissue mimicking phantoms. This paper provides a...
