A set F ⊆ V(G) is considered to be a Fair Detour Dominating set (FDD-set) if it is detour dominating and the number of neighbors within set F is the same for any pair of vertices outside of F. Among these FDD sets, the fγd-set refers to the FDD-set with the smallest number of vertices, and its order defines the Fair Detour Domination number (fγd (G)). We have established that for any arbitrary graphs G1 and G2, fγd (G1 o G2) = |V(G1) iff fd(G2) = 1 we have determined the fγd number of corona products of any connected graph G with the path graph as well as the cycle graph.

The intrinsic characteristics of a prepared nano Fe-doped ZnO catalyst were studied using a variety of techniques including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In this study, degradation of Ponceau S as a dye pollutant was investigated in the presence of ZnO and Fe-doped ZnO nano catalyst using sonolysis, photocatalysis, sonocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis. The UV light and ultrasonic probsonicator at 20 kHz and 150 W powers were used as an irradiation source. The effect of H2O2 on sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation was investigated. At optimum conditions the dye degradation efficiency was influenced by addition of H2O2, the highest dye degradation was obtained as 98 % by US+UV+Fe-doped ZnO+H2O2 for 40 mg/L dye concentration after 90min. The experimental kinetic data followed the pseudo-first order model in doped and undoped sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic processes but the rate constant of sonophotocatalysis is higher than sonocatalysis and photocatalysis process. The sonophotocatalysis was always faster than the respective individual processes due to the more formation of reactive radicals as well as the increase of the active surface area of nano catalyst.

A mathematical assessment of the diabetes model using the Caputo fractional order derivative operator is given in this research paper. The concept of a Caputo fractional order derivative is a novel class of non-integer order derivative that has many applications in real-life scenarios. The proposed model is represented by a set of fractional ordinary differential equations. The authors employed the Sumudu Transform Homotopy Perturbation Method (STHPM) for finding the series solutions of the model being studied. By giving various numerical values to the respective model parameters, graphical analysis is also performed. It is observed in the numerical discussion that a decrease in both fractional order and leads to decrease in the number of diabetic people.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"97 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140526589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relation between orbital eccentricity and other planetary parameters like mass and orbital periods have been investigated to support the existence of a discontinuity in planetary mass distribution at ~4 MJ. A low p-value in the KS test indicates the existence of two different populations of hot Jupiters having a possibly different channel of formation.

The detailed theoretical study highlights the confirmation of p-type conductivity and bandgap (0.58 and 0.21 eV) narrowing exhibits in N- and (Al-N)-doped ZnO systems. p-type nature is explicitly observed by introducing acceptor bands at the top of the valance band (VB). Whereas, degenerate n-type conductivity is seen in Al-doped ZnO and a widened bandgap of 2.70 eV is attributed to Burstein-Moss (BM) effect. The calculated value of the effective mass of the (Al-N)-doped ZnO system is lower than that of the un-doped ZnO. Enhancement of the absorption and photoconductivity in the visible region for N- and (Al-N)-doped ZnO could be due to the availability of more density of states. Importantly, reflectivity, refractive index, transmittance, dielectric constants, and optical band gap have also been calculated. Higher transmittance of the samples suggested that these could be suitable for the window material of solar cells. The optical bandgap value supports the electronic bandgap value. Therefore, our finding would be helpful to design high-performance homo-junction based electronic and optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"6 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140525948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
