    Abstract
    A novel, magnetic nanocarrier was successfully synthesized through a facile and economical producer in which Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were coated by starch-g-poly (methyl methacrylate-co-PEG-acrylamide). The surface of nanocarrier was then modified by hydrazine to preparation of a pH-responsive carrier. The resulted nanocarrier was applied for delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) as an effective anti-cancer drug. DOX was reacted with hydrazine linkage on the surface of nanocarrier to form hydrazone bond. Due to the presence of numerous hydrazine groups on the surface of magnetic nanocarrier large amounts of DOX was loaded onto the carrier (327 mg g−1). © 2016 The Korean Society of Industrial...

    Abstract
    Anchoring of copper sulfate in layered poly(imidazole-imidazolium) coated magnetic nanoparticles provided a highly stable, active, reusable, high loading, and green catalyst for the click synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via a one-pot cycloaddition of alkyl halide, azide, and alkyne (Cu-A3C). The catalyst was characterized by FTIR, TGA, TEM, SEM, XRD, EDAX, VSM and AAS. High selectivity, broad diversity of alkyl/benzyl bromide/chloride and alkyl/aryl terminal alkynes, and good to excellent yields of products were obtained using 0.7 mol% catalyst. The catalyst was readily recovered and reused up to 6 times without significant loss of activity

    Tungstate-loaded triazine-based magnetic poly(Bis-imidazolium ionic liquid): An effective bi-functional catalyst for tandem selective oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation in water

    , Article Polymer (United Kingdom) ; Volume 112 , 2017 , Pages 342-350 ; 00323861 (ISSN) Zohreh, N ; Tavakolizadeh, M ; Hosseini, S. H ; Pourjavadi, A ; Bennett, C ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2017
    Abstract
    A novel bi-functional polymeric catalyst was synthesized by immobilization of tungstate anions onto the nitrogen rich poly(ionic liquid)/magnetic nanocomposite. The resulting catalyst has two types of catalytic sites: (i) immobilized WO4 anions with bis-imidazolium ionic liquid cation for selective oxidation of alcohols and (ii) basic amine groups for Knoevenagel condensation between produced aldehyde and malononitrile. Due to the polymeric nature of the catalyst, large amounts of tungstate and basic nitrogen groups were presented on the solid surface which led to a decrease in the applied catalyst mass for catalytic reaction. High catalytic activity and excellent selectivity of catalyst in...

    Abstract
    Let G = {g1,...,gn} be a finite abelian group. Consider the complete graph with the vertex set {g1.....,.....g n}. The G-coloring of Kn is a proper edge coloring in which the color of edge {gi,gj} gi g i + gj, 1 ≤ i < 3 ≤ n. We prove that in the G-coloring of the complete graph Kn, there exists a multicolored Hamilton path if G is not an elementary abelian 2-group. Furthermore, we show that if n is odd, then the G-coloring of Kn can be decomposed into multicolored 2-factors and there are exactly lr/2 multicolored r-uniform 2-factors in this decomposition where lr is the number of elements of order r in G, 3 ≤ r ≤ n. This provides a generalization of a recent result due to Constantine which... 

    Left artinian algebraic algebras

    Abstract
    Let R be a left artinian central F-algebra, T(R) = J(R) + [R,R], and U(R) the group of units of R. As one of our results, we show that, if R is algebraic and char F = 0, then the number of simple components of R = R/J(R) is greater than or equal to dimF R/T(R). We show that, when char F = 0 or F is uncountable, R is algebraic over F if and only if [R, R] is algebraic over F. As another approach, we prove that R is algebraic over F if and only if the derived subgroup of U(R) is algebraic over F. Also, we present an elementary proof for a special case of an old question due to Jacobson. © Inst. Math. CAS 2001  

    Two conjectures on uniquely totally colorable graphs

    2003
    Abstract
    In this paper we investigate two conjectures proposed in (Graphs Combin. 13 (1997) 305-314). The first one is uniquely totally colorable (UTC) conjecture which states: Empty graphs, paths, and cycles of order 3k, k a natural number, are the only UTC graphs. We show that if G is a UTC graph of order n, then Δn/2+1, where Δ is the maximum degree of G. Also there is another question about UTC graphs that appeared in (Graphs Combin. 13 (1997) 305-314) as follows: If a graph G is UTC, is it true that in the proper total coloring of G, each color is used for at least one vertex? We prove that if G is a UTC graph of order n and in the proper total coloring of G, there exists a color which did not...

    Let R be a ring and Z(R) be the set of all zero-divisors of R. The total graph of R, denoted by T(Γ(R)) is a graph with all elements of R as vertices, and two distinct vertices x, y∈R are adjacent if and only if x+y∈Z(R). Let the regular graph of R, Reg(Γ(R)), be the induced subgraph of T(Γ(R)) on the regular elements of R. In 2008, Anderson and Badawi proved that the girth of total graph and regular graph of a commutative ring are contained in the set {3, 4, ∞}. In this paper, we extend this result to an arbitrary ring (not necessarily commutative). Also, we prove that if R is a reduced left Noetherian ring and 2∈Z(R), then the chromatic number and the clique number of Reg(Γ(R)) are the...

For instance, we determine the domination number, the clique number and the independence number of. We prove that if is a positive integer and, then the domination number of is. Among other results, we show that if, where is a positive integer...

    Abstract
    For every natural number h, a graph G is said to be h-magic if there exists a labelling l:E(G)→Zh{0} such that the induced vertex set labelling l+:V(G)→Zh defined byl+(v)=∑uv∈E(G)l(uv), is a constant map. When this constant is zero, it is said that G admits a zero-sum h-magic labelling. The null set of a graph G, denoted by N(G), is the set of all natural numbers h∈N such that G admits an h-zero-sum magic labelling. In 2007, E. Salehi determined the null set of complete bipartite graphs. In this paper we generalize this result by obtaining the null set of complete multipartite graphs
