Cephalexin is an important antibiotic. It is very significant to determine an appropriate method for the extraction of this valuable antibiotic for industrial applications. Aiming at developing an efficient method for the extraction of cephalexin, the partitioning of cephalexin has been evaluated in aqueous two-phase system, including cholinium chloride and potassium phosphate. The effect of th...

An L(2, 1)-labeling of a graph G is equitable if the number of elements in any two color classes differ by at most one. The equitable L(2, 1)-labeling number λe(G) of G is the smallest integer k such that G has an equitable L(2, 1)-labeling. Sierpiński graphs S(n, k) generalize the Tower of Hanoi graphs—the graph S(n, 3) is isomorphic to the graph of the Tower of Hanoi with n disks. In this pap...

We construct a 1-factorization of the complement Σm of the linear Hamming code of length m = mr = 2 r − 1 in the m-cube Qm, for r ≥ 2, having the following equitable property: its component 1-factors intersect each Cayley parallel 1-factor of Qm at a constant number of edges, (namely 2r edges). In the way to that construction, we find an equitable mr−1-factorization of Σm formed by two factors ...

In this note, we give a complete solution of the existence of orthogonal generalized equitable rectangles, which was raised as an open problem in [4].

the partition coefficients (p-values) of certain new potential, stereoselective, reversible, long-acting local anesthetics have been determined in an n-octanol/ phosphate buffer system. these are derivatives of 2-phenoxyethyldialkylamine hydrochloride, and almost all of them are readily soluble in water. their aqueous solutions have shown different absorption maxima, and these have been used qu...

The reload cost refers to the cost that occurs along a path on an edge-colored graph when it traverses an internal vertex between two edges of different colors. Galbiati et al. [1] introduced the Minimum Reload Cost Cycle Cover problem, which is to find a set of vertex-disjoint cycles spanning all vertices with minimum reload cost. They proved that this problem is strongly NP-hard and not appro...

Measures of sexual wellbeing and positive aspects of sexuality in the World Health Organization definition for sexual health are rarely studied and remain poorly understood, especially among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to assess sexual wellbeing in its broad sense-i.e., body image, self-esteem, and gender equitable norms-and associated factors in young ado...

This chapter explores the relationship between an equitable sharing of emission abatement targets between developed and developing countries and their incentives to participate in an international agreement to control climate change. Although developing countries face a drastic increase in their emissions, environmental efforts are not ranked among their priorities. The obvious explanation is t...
