a function $f:v(g)rightarrow {-1,0,1}$ is a {em minusdominating function} if for every vertex $vin v(g)$, $sum_{uinn[v]}f(u)ge 1$. a minus dominating function $f$ of $g$ is calleda {em global minus dominating function} if $f$ is also a minusdominating function of the complement $overline{g}$ of $g$. the{em global minus domination number} $gamma_{g}^-(g)$ of $g$ isdefined as $gamma_{g}^-(g)=min{...

although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. by the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. there are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...

background: thalassemia is one of the most common hereditary disorders and beta-thalassemia major is its severe form. the present study is concerned with the analysis of liver function, thyroid function and estimation of critical serum ions as well as hematological characteristics in beta-thalassemia patients and controls. subjects and methods: the study included 54 patients with beta-thalassem...

In this paper, some results of Singh, Gopalakrishna and Kulkarni (1970s) have been extended to higher order derivatives. It has been shown that, if $sumlimits_{a}Theta(a, f)=2$ holds for a meromorphic function $f(z)$ of finite order, then for any positive integer $k,$ $T(r, f)sim T(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $Theta(infty, f)=1$ and $T(r, f)sim (k+1)T(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $Th...

a‎s we know, developing mathematical models and numerical procedures that would appropriately treat and solve systems of linear equations where some of the system's parameters are proposed as fuzzy numbers is very important in fuzzy set theory. for this reason, many researchers have used various numerical methods to solve fuzzy linear systems. in this paper, we define the concepts of midpoint a...

the square map is one of the functions used in cryptography. for instance, the square map is used in rabin encryption scheme, block cipher rc6 and stream cipher rabbit, in different forms. in this paper, we study statistical properties of the output of the square map as a vectorial boolean function. we obtain the joint probability distribution of arbitrary number of the upper and the lower bits...
