Recently two new degree concepts have been defined in graph theory: ev-degree and ve-degree. Also the evdegree and ve-degree Zagreb and Randić indices have been defined very recently as parallel of the classical definitions of Zagreb and Randić indices. It was shown that ev-degree and ve-degree topological indices can be used as possible tools in QSPR researches . In this paper we d...

The reformulated Zagreb indices of a graph is obtained from the classical Zagreb by replacing vertex degree by edge degree and are defined as sum of squares of the degree of the edges and sum of product of the degrees of the adjacent edges. In this paper we give some explicit results for calculating the first and second reformulated Zagreb indices of dendrimers. Mathematics Subject Classificati...

The relationship between the bone mineral density (BMD) in Croatian female adults and the average incoming solar radiation at the ground was investigated. The study included 387 volunteers of average age of 60 years from three different towns: Pula (n = 128, age from 35 to 76), Krapina (n = 141, age from 43 to 77), and Zagreb (n = 118, age from 32 to 79). Apart from the different lifestyle, eac...
