The inter-connectedness of marine ecosystems has been repeatedly acknowledged in the relevant literature as well policy briefs. Against this backdrop, article aims at further reflecting on question to what extent law sea takes account or disregards ocean connectivity. In order address question, starts by providing a brief overview notion connectivity from science perspective, before taking clos...

This paper does a comparative study of different routing protocols used in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). The basic idea is to compare the different routing protocols and to find out the relative merits and demerits of each method. Protocols for DTN can be broadly classified in to data centric and cluster based. In data centric models every node plays similar role in routing. Cluster based rou...

Log files of online shared workspaces contain rich information that can be further analyzed. In this paper, log-file information is used to extract object-centric and user-centric social networks. The object-centric social networks are used as a means for assigning concept-based expertise elements to users based on the documents that they created, revised or read. The usercentric social network...

Dvořák et al. introduced a variant of the Randić index of a graph G, denoted by R′(G), where R′(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) 1 max{d(u),d(v)} , and d(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u in G. The coloring number col(G) of a graph G is the smallest number k for which there exists a linear ordering of the vertices of G such that each vertex is preceded by fewer than k of its neighbors. It is well-known that χ(...

The Randić index R(G) of an organic molecule whose molecular graph is G is the sum of the weights (dudv)− 1 2 of all edges uv of G, where du(or dv) denote the degree of vertex u(or v). Efficient formulas for calculating the Randić index of polyomino chains are provided. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C50, 05C12, 05C05

Let λ1, λ2, · · · , λn be the eigenvalues of the distance matrix of a connected graph G. The distance Estrada index of G is defined as DEE(G) = ∑ n i=1 ei . In this note, we present new lower and upper bounds for DEE(G). In addition, a Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality for DEE(G) is given. MSC 2010: 05C12, 15A42.
