mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. a failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. a number of approaches have bee...

the tenacity of a graph g, t(g), is dened by t(g) = min{[|s|+τ(g-s)]/[ω(g-s)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets s of g. we dene τ(g - s) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph g - s, and ω(g - s) be the number of components of g - s.in this paper a lower bound for the tenacity t(g) of a graph with genus γ(g) is obtained using the graph's...

let $gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. denote by $upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. in the classes of graphs $gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented zagreb index are determined.

This study aims to assess the barriers impeding cloud computing (CC) applicability in sustainable construction. A total of 11 use CC were identified for literature review. questionnaire survey was used collect data from construction stakeholders. In total, 101 valid responses obtained and analyzed using mean ranking, normalized value (NV), overlapping analysis, Kruskal–Wallis H test, explorator...

Distance is a recognized key determinant of walking. Pedestrians tend to choose the shortest route between two points. Shortest routes can be spatially described in terms distances points or topologically as number turns/directional changes these This paper presents methodology evaluate conditions provided by street network pedestrians, using space syntax measures. Accessibility was calculated ...

in the recent years, the coherence index is used in many electroencephalographic studies for investigation of brain connectivity in children with adhd disorder. it is suggested that the coherence is a useful index in discrimination of adhd subjects from normal subjects. however, a few studies are accomplished in subtypes of adhd to identify of differences in functional connectivity between adhd...

We present explicit formulae for the eccentric connectivity index and Wiener index of 2-dimensional square and comb lattices with open ends. The formulae for these indices of 2-dimensional square lattices with ends closed at themselves are also derived. The index for closed ends case divided by the same index for open ends case in the limit N →&infin defines a novel quantity we call compression...
