l glutaminase, a therapeutic enzyme obtained from marine actinomycetes gains importance because of their adaptability to varied environmental factors. an experimental study was carried out to isolate the l glutaminase producing actinomycetes from the marine sediment of thoothukudi. marine sediment sample was collected from six different locations of the thoothukudi coastal ecosystem, enriched w...

in recent years, natural disasters and the accompanying health risks have become more frequent, and rehabilitation work has become an important part of government performance. on one hand, social networks play an important role in participants' therapeutic community participation and physical & mental recovery. on the other hand, therapeutic communities with widespread participation can also co...

In this article we highlight the application of Operations Research (OR) at BASF in the area of supply chain management (SCM) through the use of selected examples with annual cost savings ranging between several hundred thousand and several million e. We address special characteristics of the process industry that have to be dealt with and identify future research needs. The examples cover stra...

let $g$ be a connected graph. the multiplicative zagreb eccentricity indices of $g$ are defined respectively as ${bf pi}_1^*(g)=prod_{vin v(g)}varepsilon_g^2(v)$ and ${bf pi}_2^*(g)=prod_{uvin e(g)}varepsilon_g(u)varepsilon_g(v)$, where $varepsilon_g(v)$ is the eccentricity of vertex $v$ in graph $g$ and $varepsilon_g^2(v)=(varepsilon_g(v))^2$. in this paper, we present some bounds of the multi...

The first general Zagreb index is defined as $M_1^lambda(G)=sum_{vin V(G)}d_{G}(v)^lambda$. The case $lambda=3$, is called F-index. Similarly, reformulated first general Zagreb index is defined in terms of edge-drees as $EM_1^lambda(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^lambda$ and the reformulated F-index is $RF(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^3$. In this paper, we compute the reformulated F-index for some grap...

In a prospective survey, 200 cases of operated chronic dacryocystitis were divided into three groups according to the kind of operation, and the respective results are as follows: Group I includes 100 cases in whom the lacrimal bone was removed (8mm x 8mm) and a 6mm diameter catheter was used (as a duct between the lacrimal sac and nasal cavity). The recurrence rate within one year was 24 ...
