Computing the additive degree-Kirchhoff index with the Laplacian matrix

For any simple connected undirected graph, it is well known that the Kirchhoff and multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff indices can be computed using the Laplacian matrix. We show that the same is true for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index and give a compact Matlab program that computes all three Kirchhoffian indices with the Laplacian matrix as the only input.

Capacity Bounds and High-SNR Capacity of the Additive Exponential Noise Channel With Additive Exponential Interference

Communication in the presence of a priori known interference at the encoder has gained great interest because of its many practical applications. In this paper, additive exponential noise channel with additive exponential interference (AENC-AEI) known non-causally at the transmitter is introduced as a new variant of such communication scenarios‎. First, it is shown that the additive Gaussian ch...

Magnetic Field-Controlled Lithium Polysulfide Semiliquid Battery with Ferrofluidic Properties.

Large-scale energy storage systems are of critical importance for electric grids, especially with the rapid increasing deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. New cost-effective systems that can deliver high energy density and efficiency for such storage often involve the flow of redox molecules and particles. Enhancing the mass and electron transport is crit...

Pulping Catalysts in Trees

Several hardwood and softwood trees were analyzed for anthraquinone-type components. Wood samples were reduced to a small size and extracted with an organic solvent; the extracts were then concentrated and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Low levels of AQ and anthrone components were detected using a sensitive selected-ion monitoring technique. Ten out of seventeen hardwood sam...
