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...

Long-range cortical functional connectivity is often reduced in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but the nature of local cortical functional connectivity in ASD has remained elusive. We used magnetoencephalography to measure task-related local functional connectivity, as manifested by coupling between the phase of alpha oscillations and the amplitude of gamma oscillations, in the fusiform face ...

While the effect of habitat connectivity on local and regional diversity has been analysed in a number of studies, time-dependent dynamics in metacommunities have received comparatively little consideration. When local patches of a metacommunity are identical in environmental conditions but differ in initial community composition, dispersal among patches may result in homogenization of local co...

Connectivity-based parcellation using diffusion MRI has been extensively used to parcellate subcortical areas and the association cortex. Connectivity profiles are vital for connectivity-based parcellation. Two categories of connectivity profiles are generally utilized, including global connectivity profiles, in which the connectivity information is from the seed to the whole brain, and long co...

Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...

We prove that the Julia set J(f) of at most finitely renormalizable unicritical polynomial f : z 7→ z + c with all periodic points repelling is locally connected. (For d = 2 it was proved by Yoccoz around 1990.) It follows from a priori bounds in a modified Principle Nest of puzzle pieces. The proof of a priori bounds makes use of new analytic tools developed in [KL] that give control of moduli...

with a xed point of multiplier = e 2 i at the origin. Take to be real and irrational. For generic choice of (in the sense of Baire category), Cremer showed that there is no local linearizing coordinate near the origin. We will say brie y that the origin is a Cremer point, or that P is a Cremer polynomial . According to Sullivan and Douady, the existence of such a Cremer point implies that the J...

Previous studies have associated Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with a maturational lag of brain functional networks. Functional connectivity of the human brain changes from primarily local to more distant connectivity patterns during typical development. Under the maturational lag hypothesis, we expect children with ADHD to exhibit increased local connectivity and decreased di...
