Introduction: Ex-centric Modernisms

A Performance Centric Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to Internet based development and utilization of computer technology. It is a style of computing, in which dynamically scalable (and often virtualized) resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The concepts behind cloud computing incorporate Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), respectively. In to...

Centric connectivity index by shell matrices

Relative centricity RC values of vertices/atoms are calculated within the Distance Detour and Cluj-Distance criteria on their corresponding Shell transforms. The vertex RC distribution in a molecular graph gives atom equivalence classes, useful in interpretation of NMR spectra. Timed by vertex valences, RC provides a new index, called Centric Connectivity CC, which can be useful in the topologi...
