the tenacity of a graph g, t(g), is dened by t(g) = min{[|s|+τ(g-s)]/[ω(g-s)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets s of g. we dene τ(g - s) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph g - s, and ω(g - s) be the number of components of g - s.in this paper a lower bound for the tenacity t(g) of a graph with genus γ(g) is obtained using the graph's...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity. an ideal $i$ of a ring $r$is called an annihilating ideal if there exists $rin rsetminus {0}$ such that $ir=(0)$ and an ideal $i$ of$r$ is called an essential ideal if $i$ has non-zero intersectionwith every other non-zero ideal of $r$. thesum-annihilating essential ideal graph of $r$, denoted by $mathcal{ae}_r$, isa graph whose vertex set is the set...

boophilus genus ticks are responsible for transferring some pathogens and reducing production factors in cattle. tropomysin (tpm) protein has actin regulator activity and playing important role in immune and allergic reactions. the main goal is to determine different aspects of phylogenetic, similarity, homology, structure and allergenicity of tpm protein. in prior study, we identified tpm by u...

The tenacity of a graph G, T(G), is dened by T(G) = min{[|S|+τ(G-S)]/[ω(G-S)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets S of G. We dene τ(G - S) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph G - S, and ω(G - S) be the number of components of G - S.In this paper a lower bound for the tenacity T(G) of a graph with genus γ(G) is obtained using the graph's connec...

the genus syntretus foerster of the subfamily euphorinae (hym.: braconidae) is recorded from iran for the first time. the specimens were collected using malaise traps from different habitats of northern provinces during 2010 and 2011. two species, s. ocularis van achterberg & haeselbarth and s. xanthocephalus (marshall) were collected and identified. a brief discussion about diagnostic char...

New evidence gained by the study of Foraminifera from Khuzestan province in southwest Iran reveals that the basal limit of the genus Heterostegina is not restricted to the Eocene epoch. By introducing a new species of this genus (H. rezvaninejadi), this study shows that the early appearance of this genus should be lowered down further still, at least, into the Middle Paleocene.

the modern lifestyle is characterized by a continuous increase in the demand of ready-to-eat fresh food products subjected to minimal processes prior marketing. attention is drawn towards the effect of this processing on the antioxidant/antiradical properties of two typical italian salads belonging to cichorium genus. four chemical assays (anti-peroxyl radical activity, dpph• assay, metal chela...
