Minimum cycle bases for direct products of K2 with complete graphs
( University of Queensland Press , 2009 , Article)We construct a minimum cycle basis for the direct product K2 x Kp of two complete graphs where p > 2. For p > 3, these bases consists only of squares. This completes the work of R. Hammack, who treated the case Kp x ... -
On minimum cycle bases of the wreath product of wheels with stars
( Zenodo , 2010 , Article)The length of a cycle basis of a graph is the sum of the lengths of its elements. A minimum cycle basis is a cycle basis with minimum length. In this work, a construction of a minimum cycle basis for the wreath product of ... -
On the basis number and the minimum cycle bases of the wreath product of some graphs II
( University of Zielona Gora , 2010 , Article)A construction of a minimum cycle bases for the wreath product of a star by a path, two stars and a star by a wheel is given. Moreover, the basis numbers of these products are determined. -
Fundamental group and cycle space of dual graphs and applications
( Elsevier , 2010 , Article)In this work, we study the fundamental group of dual graph of a planar graph. Moreover, we show that a planar graph G has no cut vertex if and only if N(Π(D(G))) = N(Π(D(G − v))) − 1 for any v ∈ V(G). Some applications ... -
A new upper bound of the basis number of the lexicographic product of graphs
( Charles Babbage Research Centre , 2010 , Article)An upper bound of the basis number of the lexicographic product of two graphs from the basis number of the factors is presented. Furthermore, the basis numbers of the lexicographic product of some classes of graphs is determined. -

Date palm wood flour/glass fibre reinforced hybrid composites of recycled polypropylene: Mechanical and thermal properties
( Elsevier, Ltd , 2012 , Article)Recycled polypropylene (RPP) based hybrid composites of date palm wood flour/glass fibre were prepared by different weight ratios of the two reinforcements. Mixing process was carried out in an extruder and samples were ... -
A Framework to Manage through Control and Automation a semester long student Project assignment in e-Learning Environment
(2013 , Conference Paper)Managing semester-long project assignments is not always an easy task since teachers need to keep track of many elements of the project that will reflect in a proper assessment of the students’ work. Integrating an LMS ... -
