The atom–bond connectivity index of a graph G is defined as

a recently published paper [t. došlić, this journal 3 (2012) 25-34] considers the zagrebindices of benzenoid systems, and points out their low discriminativity. we show thatanalogous results hold for a variety of vertex-degree-based molecular structure descriptorsthat are being studied in contemporary mathematical chemistry. we also show that theseresults are straightforwardly obtained by using...

the degree of aromaticity of mono-substituted derivatives of benzene has beeninvestigated using a new index based on electric field gradient index, by using two mechanicalquantum methods with gaussian 03. two different basis sets have applied to study and theresults compared. this strategy has demonstrated that, due to violation of symmetry in have pisystems,how the degree of aromaticity can ha...

Simulation is helpful for evaluating the performances of inspection techniques and requires the modeling of waves scattering from defects. Two classical flaw scattering models have been previously evaluated and implemented in the CIVA platform developed by CEA/LIST to deal with planar defects: the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) and the Kirchhoff approximation (KA). These two approaches...

Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are ...

The comparison of subsalt images obtained by common-azimuth migration and singlearrival Kirchhoff migration demonstrates the potential of wave-equation migration when the velocity model causes complex multipathing. Subsalt reflectors are better imaged and the typical Kirchhoff artifacts caused by severe multipathing disappear. A detailed analysis of common-azimuth images indicates that the resu...
