Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. For any integer $kge 1$, a signed (total) $k$-dominating functionis a function $f: V(G) rightarrow { -1, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ ($sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge k$)for every $vin V(G)$, where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)cup{v}$. The minimum of the values$sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functi...

Lowland and upland rice are the two most important ecotypes grown under different ecosystems of contrasting soil water conditions. The study aimed to characterize root morphological, anatomical, architectural traits shoot physiological related agronomic in Myanmar lowland drought Drought experiments were conducted field greenhouse. reduction was observed both except for stele xylem area. Stele ...

A composition of a positive integer n consists of an ordered sequence of positive integers whose sum is n. We investigate compositions in which the summand 2 is not allowed, and count the total number of such compositions and the number of occurrences of the summand i in all such compositions. Furthermore, we explore patterns in the values for Cj(n, 2̂), the number of compositions of n without 2...

This study aimed to investigate the role of rest period duration (RP) on the time course of the acceleration portion (AP) and mean velocity of the concentric phase across two bench press sets to failure with a submaximal load (60% of the 1RM) using different RP. Ten elite junior kayakers performed, on four different days, two consecutive bench press sets to failure, allowing randomly 1-, 2-, 3-...

the inflation $g_{i}$ of a graph $g$ with $n(g)$ vertices and $m(g)$ edges is obtained from $g$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $g$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $k_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $g$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin x_{i}$, $vin x_{j}$, and two different edges of $g$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $g_{i}$. t...

The effect of five row spacings (RS) on source/sink processes in a plant crop of NCo376 was investigated at Mount Edgecombe. Tiller population (TPOP), fractional light interception (FI), intercepted radiation (RADI), cane and sucrose yields were recorded over the duration of growth. The crop was fully drip irrigated in order to avoid water stress conditions. Differences in FIPAR between the tre...
