One of the major issues in the proposed concepts-of-operations for NEXTGEN is the equitable allocation of available National Airspace System (NAS) resources when demand is in excess of the capacity of the resource. NAS resources include airport and airspace slots allocated to flights from different airlines, carrying passengers and cargo from different geographic areas, affecting local air and ...

Let G = (V,E) be a connected graph, An equitable dominating S of a graph G is called the neighborhood connected equitable dominating set (nced-set) if the induced subgraph 〈Ne(S)〉 is connected The minimum cardinality of a nced-set of G is called the neighborhood connected equitable domination number of G and is denoted by γnce(G). In this paper we initiate a study of this parameter. For any gra...

accessibility is one of the important factors in public open space design and the creation of equitable neighborhoods. limitations caused by physical disabilities should not be a barrier for accessing desired spaces and people must be able to live with the greatest possible independence regardless of mobility limitations. the purpose of this paper was to identify the inclusive criteria of pedes...

– The standard multiple criteria optimization starts with an assumption that the criteria are incomparable. However, there are many applications in which the criteria express ideas of allocation of resources meant to achieve some equitable distribution. This paper focuses on solving linear multiple criteria optimization problems with uniform criteria treated in an equitable way. An axiomatic de...

In many applications in sequencing and scheduling it is desirable to have an underlaying graph as equitably colored as possible. In this paper we survey recent theoretical results concerning conditions for equitable colorability of some graphs and recent theoretical results concerning the complexity of equitable coloring problem. Next, since the general coloring problem is strongly NP-hard, we ...

background: chlorotoxin is a 36-amino acid peptide found in the venom of the leiurus quinquestriatus which blocks small-conductance chloride channels. chlorotoxin binds preferentially to glioma cells that allow development of new methods for the treatment and diagnosis of several types of cancer. thus chlorotoxin derivative was labeled with 131i for further investigation. materials and methods:...
