A note on the Roman domatic number of a digraph

Roman dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is a labeling$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$such that every vertex with label $0$ has an in-neighbor with label $2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ ofRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vin V(D)$,is called a {em Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$....

A note on the stability number of an orthogonality graph

We consider the orthogonality graph Ω(n) with 2n vertices corresponding to the vectors {0, 1}n, two vertices adjacent if and only if the Hamming distance between them is n/2. We show that, for n = 16, the stability number of Ω(n) is α(Ω(16)) = 2304, thus proving a conjecture by Galliard [7]. The main tool we employ is a recent semidefinite programming relaxation for minimal distance binary code...

the effects of cognitive strategies- note making and underlining- on iranian efl learners’ reading comprehension

هدف از انجام این مطالعه ، بررسی اثرات استفاده از استراتژی های شناختی یعنی "نت برداری" و "زیر خط کردن" بر روی عملکرد درک مطلب زبان آموزان ایرانی می باشد. به این منظور، 60 زبان آموز دختر سال چهارم دبیرستان از طریق آزمون پیشرفت زبان انگلیسی (نلسون)، از یک جامعه آماری بزرگتر انتخاب شدند. سپس به صورت تصادفی به سه گروه که هر گروه شامل ?0 دانش آموز همسان بود، تقسیم شدند: دو گروه آزمایش(گروه "نت برداری...

A note on random number generation

A note on generators of number fields

We establish upper bounds for the smallest height of a generator of a number field k over the rational field Q. Our first bound applies to all number fields k having at least one real embedding. We also give a second conditional result for all number fields k such that the Dedekind zeta-function associated to the Galois closure of k/Q satisfies GRH. This provides a partial answer to a question ...
