Abstract Artificial or human test bones are used for the biomechanical testing of implants. Human rare and not always available. These must, therefore, be substituted with artificial bones. However, current only available specific characteristics (e.g., age groups disease characteristics). Additionally, their mechanical properties comparable to a limited extent those bone. This paper presents m...

Community structure is one of the most important structural features complex networks. However, existing community division metrics only consider relationship between nodes, and do not overall closeness internal external communities from perspective topology. Persistent homology (PH) a mathematical tool in computational topology, which can capture high-dimensional topological widely used analys...

The theory of locales [23] has a twofold interplay with intuitionistic mathematics: first of all, the internal logic of toposes and intuitionistic set theories provide suitable settings for the development of the theory of locales [24], and secondly, the notion of a locale determines two important forms of toposes and of interpretations for intuitionistic set theories, namely localic toposes [2...

Recent advances in high-throughput experimental techniques have given us a wealth of protein interaction data, rich in quantity and variety. While the quantity and variety of data present special challenges for modeling, they also present unique opportunities for gaining insight into the proteome by allowing us to leverage multiple perspectives. We present TOPROC (TOpology of PROtein Complexes)...

The prevalent strategy in the topology optimization phase is to select a subset of members existing in an excessively connected truss, called Ground Structure, such that the overall weight or cost is minimized. Although finding a good topology significantly reduces the overall cost, excessive growth of the size of topology space combined with existence of varied types of design variables challe...

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...

| Current Internet transport protocols make end-to-end measurements and maintain perconnection state to regulate the use of shared network resources. When a number of such connections share a common endpoint, that endpoint has the opportunity to correlate these end-to-end measurements to better diagnose and control the use of shared resources. A valuable characterization of such shared resource...

In this paper we address the problem of topology discovery in unicast logical tree networks using endto-end measurements. Without any cooperation from the internal routers, topology estimation can be formulated as hierarchical clustering of the leaf nodes based on pair-wise correlations as similarity metrics. We investigate three types of similarity metrics: queueing delay measured by sandwich ...

This paper describes a mechanism for disseminating nodespecific attributes between network routers that originate from external applications. Our approach extends the OSPF protocol daemon such that external applications can use the LSA distribution mechanism for the dissemination of application-specific information. External applications are capable of being synchronized with the OSPF-internal ...
