Let T be a tree on n vertices and let the n− 1 edges e1, e2, . . . , en−1 have weights that are s× s matrices W1,W2, . . . ,Wn−1, respectively. For two vertices i, j, let the unique ordered path between i and j be pi,j = er1er2 . . . erk . Define the distance between i and j as the s × s matrix Ei,j = ∏k p=1Wep . Consider the ns × ns matrix D whose i, j-th block is the matrix Ei,j . We give a f...

A strong matching S in a given graph G is a set of disjoint edges {el' e2, ... , em} such that no other edge of the graph G connects an end-vertex of ei with an end-vertex of ej,(ei =Iej). Let Gn,p be the random graph on n vertices with fixed edge probability p, 0 < p < 1. It is shown that, with probability tending to 1 as n ~ 00, the maximum size f3 of a strong matching in Gn,p satisfies where...

Emotional Intelligence, the ability to be aware of, understand, and express oneself, the ability to be aware of, understand, and relate to others, the ability to deal with strong emotions, and the ability to adapt to change and solve problems of a social or personal nature, can be considered an important factor in learning a language as it enhances the verbal fluency which is the ultimate goal ...

Wireless sensor network applications require tiny sized sensors with short transmission communication or signaling range which reduce the chances of detection. These size constraints cause limitations on CPU speed, amount of memory, RF bandwidth and battery lifetime. And therefore, efficient communication techniques are essential for increasing the lifetime and quality of data collection and de...

Research on emotions in the workplace has recently developed into a major field. The study and contribution of Emotional Intelligence (EI) to this area has been fundamental. However, EI has been predominantly studied from an individual perspective, and group level studies as well as comparisons among cultures are necessary. Thus, the development and adaptation of group measures to other languag...

the purpose of this research was to study the relationship between conflict management strategies and emotional intelligence (ei) of sport coaches in east azerbaijan province. according to the statistical population of this research that consisted of all sport coaches in east azerbaijan province (n=750), 257 coaches were evaluated according to morgan table with two questionnaires including robb...

The carpool problem is to schedule for every time t ∈ N l tasks taken from the set [n] (n ≥ 2). Each task i has a weight wi(t) ≥ 0, where ∑n i=1 wi(t) = l. We let ci(t) ∈ {0, 1} be 1 iff task i is scheduled at time t, where (carpool condition) wi(t) = 0 ⇒ ci(t) = 0. The carpool problem exists in the literature for l = 1, with a goal to make the schedule fair, by bounding the absolute value of E...

the current study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (ei) and transformational leadership (tl) of female coaches in golestan province (iran). a descriptivecorrelational research method is applied. statistical population includes all female coaches in the province, from which a total of 313 subjects are randomly selected. the emotional intelligence questionnaire ...

Personal goals vary in the extent to which they are integrated with core aspects of the self. Goal selfintegration was measured by asking 95 students to rate their reasons for adopting eight personal strivings. In addition, the trait emotional intelligence (EI) and emotional well-being of participants was measured, in order to determine the influence of goal self-integration and trait EI on eac...
