Modular preassembly of azaxylylene photoprecursors, halogen-substituted in the aromatic ring, their intramolecular [4 + 4] or [4 + 2] cycloadditions to tethered unsaturated pendants, and subsequent postphotochemical capstone modification of the primary photoproducts via Suzuki coupling provides rapid access to diverse biaryls of unprecedented topology. This synthetic sequence allows for rapid g...

This study focuses on the topology optimization of structures using a hybrid of level set method (LSM) incorporating sensitivity analysis and isogeometric analysis (IGA). First, the topology optimization problem is formulated using the LSM based on the shape gradient. The shape gradient easily handles boundary propagation with topological changes. In the LSM, the topological gradient method as ...

We evaluate location-based methods for the auto-discovery of Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs), guided by the topology and design of AT&T’s next generation transport network. Under realistic scenarios, we find the methods extremely effective in identifying SRLGs and associated link diversity relationships. 2000 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communicat...

Motivated by the recent study on categorical properties of latticevalued topology, the paper considers a generalization of the notion of topological system introduced by S. Vickers, providing an algebraic and a coalgebraic category of the new structures. As a result, the nature of the category   TopSys   of S. Vickers gets clari ed, and a metatheorem is stated, claiming that (latticevalu...

Major advances have been made recently towards understanding how to control large networks by acting only on a small subset of their elements, illuminating the impact of a network’s topology on its controllability. Yet, a detailed understanding of the synergies between network topology and intrinsic individual dynamics is still lacking. Here we offer a theoretical framework to evaluate the cont...

The shortcomings of conventional bus architectures are in terms of scalability and the ever increasing demand of more bandwidth. And also the feature size of sub-micron domain is decreasing making it difficult for bus architectures to fulfill the requirements of modern System on Chip (SoC) systems. Network on chip (NoC) architectures presents a solution to the earlier mentioned shortcomings by ...

Fast electromagnetic drive mechanism shows broad application prospects in many areas, but there is still a lack of unified evaluation parameters as to evaluate the dynamic characteristics due to diversity and complexity of the mechanisms. Three interrelated evaluation parameters are presented for topology analysis, namely the electromagnetic force sensitivity coefficient, the initial time const...

Local assemblages are embedded in networks of communities connected by dispersal, and understanding the processes that mediate this local–regional interaction is central to biodiversity patterns. In network (i.e. metacommunity), strength dispersal relative intensity environmental selection typically determines whether local comprised species well-adapted environment sorting) or dominated region...

Controlling complex networked systems to desired states is a key research goal in contemporary science. Despite recent advances in studying the impact of network topology on controllability, a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic effect of network topology and individual dynamics on controllability is still lacking. Here we offer a theoretical study with particular interest in the div...
