The study by da Cunha et al. published in 2002 reported that MMR vaccine containing L-Zagreb mumps strain manufactured by Serum Institute of India Ltd. caused a high incidence of aseptic meningitis (AM) from routine surveillance during two mass immunization campaigns (MIC) conducted in 1998 in two states in Brazil. Since the results were contrary to those in India, Egypt and Bahamas, a critical...

The first reformulated Zagreb index $EM_1(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the terms $(d_u+d_v-2)^2$ over all edges $uv$ of $G .$ In this paper, the various upper and lower bounds for the first reformulated Zagreb index of a connected graph interms of other topological indices are obtained.

Topological indices are widely used as mathematical tools to analyze different types of graphs emerged in a broad range of applications. The Hyper-Zagreb index (HM) is an important tool because it integrates the first two Zagreb indices. In this paper, we characterize the trees and unicyclic graphs with the first four and first eight greatest HM-value, respectively.

Abstract In this paper, we give various lower and upper bounds for the energy of graphs in terms several topological indices graphs: first general multiplicative Zagreb index, Randić zeroth-order redefined indices, atom-bond connectivity index. Moreover, obtain new certain graph invariants as diameter, girth, algebraic radius.

The first general Zagreb index is defined as $M_1^lambda(G)=sum_{vin V(G)}d_{G}(v)^lambda$. The case $lambda=3$, is called F-index. Similarly, reformulated first general Zagreb index is defined in terms of edge-drees as $EM_1^lambda(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^lambda$ and the reformulated F-index is $RF(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^3$. In this paper, we compute the reformulated F-index for some grap...

For a graph $G$ with edge set $E(G)$, the multiplicative sum Zagreb index of $G$ is defined as$Pi^*(G)=Pi_{uvin E(G)}[d_G(u)+d_G(v)]$, where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of vertex $v$ in $G$.In this paper, we first introduce some graph transformations that decreasethis index. In application, we identify the fourteen class of trees, with the first through fourteenth smallest multiplicative sum Zagreb ...

In mathematical chemistry, a particular attention is given to degree-based graph invariant. The Zagrebpolynomial is one of the degree based polynomials considered in chemical graph theory. A dendrimer isan artificially manufactured or synthesized molecule built up from branched units called monomers. Inthis note, the first, second and third Zagreb poly...

The aim of this investigation was to determine the levels of heavy metals and metalloids in freshwater fish from the Zagreb area. A total of 216 freshwater fish samples from 5 sites were examined: Sava river upstream from Zagreb, Sava river at Zagreb, Sava river downstream from Zagreb, Jarun Lake, and 5 "ecologic" fishponds from the Zagreb surroundings. The metals lead, cadmium, mercury and the...

The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in the outpatient consumption of cardiovascular drugs between Croatian regions: the City of Zagreb and Lika-Senj County. The data on the number of packages and the purchase price for each drug have been obtained from all pharmacies in Lika-Senj County and all pharmacies in the City of Zagreb. Defined daily doses/1000 inhabitants/day (DDD/100...
