On the spanning fan-connectivity of graphs

Let G be a graph. The connectivity of G, κ(G), is the maximum integer k such that there exists a k-container between any two different vertices. A k-container of G between u and v, C_k(u,v), is a set of k-internally-disjoint paths between u and v. A spanning container is a container that spans V(G). A graph G is k^∗-connected if there exists a spanning k-container between any two different vertices. The spanning connectivity of G, κ^∗(G), is the maximum integer k such that G is w^∗-connected for 1≤w≤k if G is 1^∗-connected.Let x be a vertex in G and let U={y₁,y₂,…,y_k} be a subset of V(G) where x is not in U. A spanningk−(x,U)-fan, F_k(x,U), is a set of internally-disjoint paths {P₁,P₂,…,P_k} such that P_i is a path connecting x to y_i for 1≤i≤k and . A graph G is k^∗-fan-connected (or -connected) if there exists a spanning F_k(x,U)-fan for every choice of x and U with |U|=k and x∉U. The spanning fan-connectivity of a graph G, , is defined as the largest integer k such that G is -connected for 1≤w≤k if G is -connected.In this paper, some relationship between κ(G), κ^∗(G), and are discussed. Moreover, some sufficient conditions for a graph to be -connected are presented. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of a spanning pipeline-connectivity and discuss some sufficient conditions for a graph to be k^∗-pipeline-connected.     

The service allocation problem at the Gioia Tauro Maritime Terminal

The Service Allocation Problem (SAP) is a tactical problem arising in the yard management of a container transshipment terminal. The objective is the minimization of the container rehandling operations inside the yard. This study of the SAP was undertaken for the Gioia Tauro port which is located in Italy and is the main hub terminal for container traffic in the Mediterranean Sea. The SAP can be formulated as a Generalized Quadratic Assignment Problem (GQAP) with side constraints. Two mixed integer linear programming formulations are presented. The first one exploits characteristics of the yard layout at Gioia Tauro where the berth and the corresponding yard positions extend along a line. The second formulation is an adaptation of a linearization for the GQAP. In both cases only small instances can be solved optimally. An evolutionary heuristic was therefore developed. For small size instances the heuristic always yields optimal solutions. For larger sizes it is always better than a truncated branch-and-bound algorithm applied to the exact formulations.

Determination of Lead(II) with the Rotating Sample System

As a result of industrialization lead is one of the most widely dispersed toxic heavy metals in the environment. There is a pressing need for a reliable, affordable and portable analytical technique for routine determination of lead at trace levels in biological and environmental samples. Despite their potential for portability and low cost, the currently available electrochemical stripping methods still have limited commercial availability. Among the reasons are the relatively large sample volumes and the large amount of reagents needed (1–3 mL), lower than required precision, and the inconvenience of a rotated electrode system. The Rotating Sample System is a unique approach to electrochemical stripping, devised for 20 μL sample droplets utilizing a large surface area electrode. This design combines the advantages of a microelectrode and a rotated electrode system. The semispherical sample drop itself is rotated by a fine gas jet directed at it tangentially, eliminating the need for a sample container. Neither fine moving mechanical parts nor sophisticated controls are required. The detection limit for lead(II) was found low enough and the reproducibility is sufficient for routine determinations in biomedical samples (5 ppb, 6%). The system can support a CDC recommended screening for blood lead levels and an on‐site analysis of environmental samples as well. Under suitable conditions calibration free direct determinations can also be performed.

Water-soluble octahedral polyammonium nanocapsules: synthesis and encapsulation studies

The syntheses of two water-soluble octahedral polyammonium nanocapsules 5e and 5f are described. Nanocapsule 5e was prepared via the TFA-catalyzed condensation reaction of six MOM-protected 4-hydroxybutyl-footed tetraformyl cavitands 3c with 12 ethylene diamines, followed by reduction and acidic hydrolysis of the intermediate octahedral polyimino nanocapsule. Nanocapsule 5f was prepared from 5e via the oxidation of the 4-hydroxybutyl feet to 3-carboxypropyl feet. Both nanocapsules are soluble in water below pH 5. 5f is also water-soluble above pH 7. In acidic aqueous solution, nanocapsule 5e encapsulates small negatively charged, partially hydrophobic guests, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, N-BOC-aspartic acid, or 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate. The single site microscopic binding constants for the latter guests are 150±30, 510±50, 1550±150 M⁻¹, respectively and were determined from ¹H NMR titrations and DOSY experiments by assuming a 6:1 binding model with six identical, independent binding sites per nanocapsule (statistical binding). 5e doesn't bind small neutral hydrophobic molecules in aqueous solution. However, both nanocapsules bind to nucleotides, such as ATP, dAMP, dGMP or TTP. NMR experiments support that nucleotides are not encapsulated, but bind to the outside of the nanocapsules.
