Let $D$ be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$‎.‎A signed total Roman $k$-dominating function (STR$k$DF) on‎‎$D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1‎, ‎1‎, ‎2}$ satisfying the conditions‎‎that (i) $sum_{xin N^{-}(v)}f(x)ge k$ for each‎‎$vin V(D)$‎, ‎where $N^{-}(v)$ consists of all vertices of $D$ from‎‎which arcs go into $v$‎, ‎and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which‎‎$f(u)=-1$ has a...

Genotyping for five short tandem repeat (STR) loci HUMvWA, HUMFES, HUMTPO, HUMTH01 and D3S1359 was done in 220 unrelated individuals from the population of Isfahan province of IR Iran. The loci were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and silver staining. The data demonstrated that the STR markers were all found informative i...

This paper proposes an effective multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MDES) to solve a permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) with modified Dejong's learning effect. The proposed algorithm combines the basic differential evolution (DE) with local search and borrows the selection operator from NSGA-II to improve the general performance.  First the problem is encoded with a...

Objective(s): Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...
