Topological indices are the numerical value associated with chemical constitution purporting for correlation of chemical structure with various physical properties, chemical reactivity or biological activity. Graph theory is a delightful playground for the exploration of proof techniques in Discrete Mathematics and its results have applications in many areas of sciences. One of the useful indic...

The new book by John Nazareth is a delightful novel treatise in Optimization and Equation Solving. In particular, this new book deals with the interior-point revolution that has changed the way optimizers look at optimization problems. (See e.g. [11] and the details below.) Nazareth has written an excellent book that includes both introductory and advanced topics. It provides a description of m...

“Ugly food” refers to agricultural products that are discarded because their appearance is not attractive, even though nutritional content unaffected.

To reduce food waste, retailers have been offering non-calibrated fruits and vegetables (FaVs) in recent years, yet the acceptance of such produce is still far from unanimous. Using reciprocal projections, our research performs a comparative analysis French consumers’ representations eaters non-eaters misshapen FaVs. The overall rest on lexical registers that refer to economic, ecological, soci...

Antioxidants refer to the molecules that react with oxy radicals not only to delay their function, but also to neutralize them and subsequently reduce oxidative stress and protect us from diseases state. Despite our own endogenous response, several factors contribute to diminish our self-defense mechanism resulting in loss of control in preventing ourselves from free radical damage. Antioxidant...
