In this paper, for topology optimization of double layer grids, an efficient optimization method is presented by combination of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) which is called ICA-GSA method. The present hybrid method is based on ICA but the moving of countries toward their relevant imperialist is done using the la...

A global defensive alliance in a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set S satisfying the condition that for every vertex v ∈ S, |N [v] ∩ S| ≥ |N(v) ∩ (V − S)|. In this note, a new upper bound on the global defensive alliance number of a tree is given in terms of its order and the number of support vertices. Moreover, we characterize trees attaining this upper bound.

Purified Synechococcus glutamate-1-semialdehyde aminotransferase (GSA-AT; EC 5.4.3.8) has absorption maxima characteristic of vitamin B6-containing enzymes and can be converted to the pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate or pyridoxal 5'-phosphate form by reaction with diaminovalerate or dioxovalerate, respectively, suggesting that these two analogues are intermediates in the conversion of glutamate 1-semi...

Let k ≥ 0 be an integer. A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is called a global offensive k-alliance if |N(v) ∩ S| ≥ |N(v) − S| + k for every v ∈ V (G) − S, where 0 ≤ k ≤ ∆ and ∆ is the maximum degree of G. The global offensive k-alliance number γ o (G) is the minimum cardinality of a global offensive k-alliance in G. We show that for every bipartite graph G and every integer k ≥ 2...

Background Military conflict has been an ongoing determinant of inequitable immunisation coverage in many low- and middle-income countries, yet the impact of conflict on the attainment of global health goals has not been fully addressed. This review will describe and analyse the association between conflict, immunisation coverage and vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) outbreaks, along with...

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A non-empty set S ⊆ V (G) is a global strong offensive alliance if for every vertex v in V (G)−S, a strict majority of its closed neighborhood is in S. The global strong offensive alliance number γô(G) is the minimum cardinality of a global strong offensive alliance of G. We show that if G is a connected bipartite graph of order at least three, the...
