The First and Second Zagreb Indices, First and Second Zagreb Polynomials of HAC5C6C7[p,q] and HAC5C7[p,q] Nanotubes

Topological indices are numerical parameters of a molecular graph G which characterize its topology. On the other hands, computing the connectivity indices of molecular graphs is an important branch in chemical graph theory. Therefore, we compute First Zagreb index Zg   <span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-Italic...

Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first observing run of Advanced LIGO

During their first observational run, the two Advanced LIGO detectors attained an unprecedented sensitivity, resulting in the first direct detections of gravitational-wave signals produced by stellar-mass binary black hole systems. This paper reports on an all-sky search for gravitational waves (GWs) from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHBs). The combined results from two inde...

effects of first language on second language writing-a preliminary contrastive rhetoric study of farsi and english

to explore the idea the investingation proposed, aimed at finding whether the performances of the population of iranians students studying english in an efl context are consistent in l1 and l2 writing taks and whether there is a cross-linguistic transfer in this respect. in this regard the subjects were instructed to write four compositions-two in english and two in farsi-which consisted of an ...
