Firefly luciferase adenylates and oxidizes d-luciferin to chemically generate visible light and is widely used for biological assays and imaging. Here we show that both luciferase and luciferin can be reengineered to extend the scope of this light-emitting reaction. D-Luciferin can be replaced by synthetic luciferin analogues that increase near-infrared photon flux >10-fold over that of D-lucif...

the order graph of a group $g$, denoted by $gamma^*(g)$, is a graph whose vertices are subgroups of $g$ and two distinct vertices $h$ and $k$ are adjacent if and only if $|h|big{|}|k|$ or $|k|big{|}|h|$. in this paper, we study the connectivity and diameter of this  graph. also we give a relation between the order graph and prime  graph of a group.

let f, g and h be non-empty graphs. the notation f → (g,h) means that if any edge of f is colored by red or blue, then either the red subgraph of f con- tains a graph g or the blue subgraph of f contains a graph h. a graph f (without isolated vertices) is called a ramsey (g,h)−minimal if f → (g,h) and for every e ∈ e(f), (f − e) 9 (g,h). the set of all ramsey (g,h)−minimal graphs is denoted by ...

in this paper, we first collect the earlier results about some graph operations and then wepresent applications of these results in working with chemical graphs.

Optimum control of upstream pumping station in open channels with given constraint in downstream end is presented in this paper. The upstream control is capable of minimizing water level fluctuations in the channel in which the downstream pumping station causes an undesirable wave. The proposed method combines an unsteady non-uniform flow solver with shock-capturing capability, Fourier series a...

The Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems in power generation systems are to reduce the fuel cost by reducing the total cost for the generation of electric power. This paper presents an efficient Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA), for solving ELD Problem. The main objective of the problems is to minimize the total fuel cost of the generating units having quadratic cost functions subjected to lim...

Due to the inherent non-linearity and non-stationary characteristics of financial stock market price time series, conventional modeling techniques such as the Box–Jenkins autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) are not adequate for stock market price forecasting. In this paper, a forecasting model based on chaotic mapping, firefly algorithm, and support vector regression (SVR) is propo...

— Effective methods for solving the complex and noisy engineering problems using a finite sequence of instructions can be categorised into optimisation and meta-heuristics algorithms. The latter might be defined as an iterative search process that efficiently performs the exploration and exploitation in the solution space aiming to efficiently find near optimal solutions. Various natural intell...
