n 1998, H. Broersma and H. Tuinstra proved that: Given a connected graph G with n ≥ 3 vertices, if d(u) + d(y) ≥n — k + 1 for all non-adjacent vertices u and v of G (k ≥ 1), then G has a spanning tree with at most k leaves. In this paper, we generalize this result by using implicit degree sum condition of t (2≤ t ≤k) independent vertices and we prove what follows: Let G be a connected graph on n ≥ 3 vertices and k ≥ 2 be an integer. If the implicit degree sum of any t independent vertices is at least [formula] for (k≥ t ≥ 2), then G has a spanning tree with at most k leaves.

W pracy badano, za pomocą pomiarów ciepła hydratacji oraz czasu wiązania zaczynów, wpływ rodzaju, składu i ilości aktywatora na proces hydratacji alkalicznie aktywowanego mielonego granulowanego żużla wielkopiecowego. W przypadku aktywatora w postaci szkła wodnego dla modułów krzemianowych w zakresie 0,8 – 2,0 czas wiązania zaczynów wydłużał się nieznacznie wraz ze zwiększaniem się modułu krzemianowego. Dla modułów mniejszych od 0,8 i większych od 2,0 czas wiązania znacznie się wydłużał. Wraz ze wzrostem modułu krzemianowego szkła wodnego wydłużał się również okres indukcji na krzywych szybkości wydzielania ciepła. Zwiększenie zawartości aktywatora z 3% do 6% Na2Oeq przy stałym module powodowało skrócenie czasu wiązania. W przypadku aktywacji NaOH, zależność ta była odwrotna. Dla spoiw aktywowanych NaOH wydzielanie ciepła hydratacji było bardziej intensywne, ciepło całkowite większe a okres indukcji krótszy niż w przypadku spoiw aktywowanych szkłem wodnym. Zwiększenie zawartości Na2O w aktywatorze powodowało zwiększenie całkowitego ciepła hydratacji niezależnie od rodzaju użytego aktywatora.

In present work, heat of hydration and setting times measurements were used to investigate the influence of type, composition and amount of activator on the hydration process of alkali activated ground granulated blast furnace slag. In case of water glass used as an activator, for modulus within the range 0.8 - 2.0 setting time of pastes was increasing gradually. For water glass modulus values below 0.8 and over 2.0 significant increase of setting time was noted. Also duration of induction period on heat evolution curve was increasing with increase of modulus. Increasing activator amount expressed as Na2Oeq content from 3% to 6% at constant water glass modulus resulted in setting time shortening. In case of NaOH activated pastes, the reverse relationship was noted. For NaOH activated pastes, heat of hydration evolution was more intense, total amount of heat was higher and induction period was shorter comparing to pastes activated with water glass. Increase of Na2Oeq content within the system resulted in total amount of heat evolved increase independently of activator type.

Polygonum orientale with beautiful red flowers can be found as one dominant species in the vicinity of most water bodies and wetlands in China. However, its phytoremediation potential has not been sufficiently explored because little is known about its resistance to inorganic or organic pollutants. We investigated P. orientale response to low and moderate levels of phenol stress (≤ 80 mg L-1). Endpoints included phenol tolerance of P. orientale and the removal of the pollutant, antioxidant enzyme activities, damage to the cell membrane, osmotic regulators and photosynthetic pigments. In plant leaves, phenol stress significantly increased the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), as well as the contents of proline, soluble sugars and carotenoids, whereas superoxide dismutase (SOD), H2O2 and electrolyte leakage (EL) levels remained unaltered. On the other hand, there were significant decreases of soluble protein and chlorophyll contents. We demonstrated that, in combination with phenol tolerance and its removal, P. orientale has efficient protection mechanisms against phenol-induced oxidative damage (≤ 80 mg L-1). We propose that P. orientale could be used as an alternative and interesting material in the phytoremediation of phenol.

Introspection is the prerequisite of autonomic behavior, the first step towards performance improvement and resource usage optimization for large-scale distributed systems. In grid environments, the task of observing the application behavior is assigned to monitoring systems. However, most of them are designed to provide general resource information and do not consider specific information for higher-level services. More precisely, in the context of data-intensive applications, a specific introspection layer is required to collect data about the usage of storage resources, data access patterns, etc. This paper discusses the requirements for an introspection layer in a data management system for large-scale distributed infrastructures. We focus on the case of BlobSeer, a large-scale distributed system for storing massive data. The paper explains why and how to enhance BlobSeer with introspective capabilities and proposes a three-layered architecture relying on the MonALISA monitoring framework. We illustrate the autonomic behavior of BlobSeer with a self-configuration component aiming to provide storage elasticity by dynamically scaling the number of data providers. Then we propose a preliminary approach for enabling self-protection for the BlobSeer system, through a malicious client detection component. The introspective architecture has been evaluated on the Grid'5000 testbed, with experiments that prove the feasibility of generating relevant information related to the state and behavior of the system.

By introducing a variable coding technique, a parallel optimization method based on a combination of GAs and ESs is presented. The advantages of both GAs and ESs, like coding of genetic information and adaptation of optimization parameters, are enhanced by this new method.
