Cytochrome P450-catalyzed enzyme activity in cell culture was investigated as a bioassay for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzop-dioxin (TCDD) equivalents in environmental mixtures of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), dibenzofuran (PCDF), and biphenyl (PCB) congeners. A problem with the use of enzyme induction is that certain congeners are unable to induce P4501A enzyme activity to the same maxi...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex v ∈ V with f(v) = 0 has at least one neighbor u ∈ V with f(u) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number, denoted by γR(G). The Roman bondage number...

I.ABSTRACT WSN is stocked with many small nodes that are highly depends on energy .These nodes offers solutions to many real time problems that are in existence .The capability of these nodes are very limited, mainly for maintaining energy efficiency in WSN .There are various techniques available to effectively maintain the energy in the wireless sensor networks .Among these techniques the most...

Secure clustering problem plays an important role in distributed sensor networks. Weakly Connected Dominating Set (WCDS) is used for solving this problem. Therefore, computing a minimum WCDS becomes an important topic of this research. In this paper, we compare the size of Maximal Independent Set (MIS) and minimum WCDS in unit disk graph. Our analysis shows that five is the least upper bound fo...

A function f : V (G) → {−1, 0, 1} is a minus dominating function if for every vertex v ∈ V (G), ∑ u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 1. A minus dominating function f of G is called a global minus dominating function if f is also a minus dominating function of the complement G of G. The global minus domination number γ− g (G) of G is defined as γ − g (G) = min{ ∑ v∈V (G) f(v) | f is a global minus dominating functi...

Let n > 1 be an integer and let G be a graph of order p. A set 9 of vertices of G is a total n-dominating set of G if every vertex of V(G) is within distance n from some vertex of .P’ other than itself. The minimum cardinal@ among all total n-dominating sets of G is called the total n-domination number and is denoted by “J:(G). A set S of vertices of G is n-independent if the distance (in G) be...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G = (V, E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex x with f(x) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex y with f(y) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is defined to be f(V ) = P x∈V f(x), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this paper we answer an open pr...

We examined the effect of temperature acclimation on the sensitivity of the rainbow trout heart to adrenaline and on the density of b-adrenoceptors. The sensitivity of the heart was assessed using in situ working perfused heart and in vitro isometric ventricular strip preparations. When tested in situ and at acclimation temperature, hearts from fish acclimated to 8 ̊C were approximately 10-fold ...

The synergistic physical and biological effects of selective targeting and activation of plasmonic nanoparticles were studied for a transient vapor nanobubble mode. Simultaneous optical activation of two plasmon resonances in multi-nanoparticle clusters significantly improved the selectivity and efficacy of the nanobubble generation through and was termed "rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles." The ra...
