A global offensive alliance in a graph G = (V,E) is a subset S of V such that for every vertex v not in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S. We give an upper bound on the global offensive alliance number of a graph in terms of its degree sequence. We also study global offensive alliances of random graphs.

An increasing number of freely accessible adult content websites arose recently, displaying a wide variety of different offensive images and videos. Since many users do not want to be confronted with such material, automatic tools to detect and filter these images and videos are needed. Additionally, tools are required to protect children from accessing offensive websites. This thesis presents ...

Possession time in football has been widely discussed in research but few studies have analyzed the importance of the field area in which possession occurs. The objective of this study was to identify the existence of significant differences in the field zone of ball possession between successful and unsuccessful teams and to acknowledge if the match status modulates the possession model. To th...

Aggressive behavior can be studied as either offensive or defensive responses to a stimulus. The studies discussed in this review are focused on the peripubertal development of offensive aggression in male golden hamsters and its responsiveness to repeated social stress. Quantitative and qualitative changes in offensive responses were analyzed during this period. Quantitative changes in offensi...

Hamsters repeatedly exposed to cocaine throughout adolescence display highly escalated offensive aggression compared to saline-treated littermates. Recently, we have shown that serotonin neural signaling and development play an important role in adolescent cocaine-induced offensive aggression. This study examined whether the adolescent cocaine-induced aggressive response was modulated by seroto...

Chronic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) treatment during adolescence facilitates offensive aggression in male Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). The current study assessed whether adolescent AAS-facilitated offensive attack was modulated by serotonin (5-HT) and if AAS exposure during this developmental period influenced 5-HT innervation to areas of hamster brain implicated in aggressive ...

We investigate the relationship between global offensive k-alliances and some characteristic sets of a graph including r-dependent sets, τ dominating sets and standard dominating sets. In addition, we discuss the close relationship that exist among the (global) offensive ki-alliance number of Γi, i ∈ {1, 2} and the (global) offensive k-alliance number of Γ1×Γ2, for some specific values of k. As...
