let $g$ be a simple graph. an independent set is a set ofpairwise non-adjacent vertices. the number of vertices in a maximum independent set of $g$ isdenoted by $alpha(g)$. in this paper, we characterize graphs $g$ with $n$ vertices and with maximumnumber of maximum independent sets provided that $alpha(g)leq 2$ or $alpha(g)geq n-3$.

BACKGROUND In the literature good results have been reported for the treatment of Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) by cytoreduction, peritonectomy and hyperthermic antiblastic peritoneal perfusion (H.A.P.P.). Forty-eight patients affected by PMP have been treated with this technique over the past ten years. PATIENTS AND METHODS Peritoneal perfusion has been performed with the original semiclosed ...

The buildings of business centers make up a significant part the development modern cities. Having different sizes, functional content and architectural artistic solutions, these complexes are often spatial dominants. compositional accent formed by them indicates place concentration for social activity associated not only with but also an entertainment pastime program. formation center as speci...

and Applied Analysis 3 Definition 1.4 see 18, 20–23 . 1 The intersection of all fuzzy α-closed resp., semiclosed, preclosed, γ-closed, semi-preclosed, β-closed sets containing a fuzzy set A is called a fuzzy α-closure resp., semiclosure, preclosure, γ-closure, semi-preclosure, β-closure of A. 2 The union of all fuzzy α-open resp., semiopen, preopen, γ-open, semi-preopen, β-open sets contained i...

Qinzhou Bay is a tropical semiclosed bay with the highest phytoplankton diversity and high frequency of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Guangxi coastal area, located north Beibu Gulf. Phaeocystis globosa typical HAB species mainly occur autumn winter. The causes these succession assemblages related to are complicated not fully understood. Therefore, continuous survey was conducted monthly from O...

To solve the problem of waste slag treatment slurry shields, a reuse scheme in which shield mud is used to replace traditional karst cave grouting filling material proposed; thus, new type underwater cementitious (NWC-FM) developed. NWC-FM convenient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. Its mix proportion designed, its mechanical performance tested. According characteristics caves, semic...

Clinical Case A newborn male Welsh pony foal, born without an anal opening, was admitted for treatment (Figures 1 and 2). On presentation, the foal displayed signs of mild abdominal discomfort indicated by intermittent uneasiness, looking at the abdomen, and stretching into a “sawhorse” stance. The foal was observed to urinate normally. Pulse, mucous membrane color, and capillary refill time we...
