the total irregularity of a graph g is defined as 〖irr〗_t (g)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈v(g))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈v(g). in this paper by using the gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.

The field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has progressed greatly in the last years. UAVs are now used for many applications and often flown automatically. One commonly implemented feature an automatic flight is that following a mission at stable altitude. However, this altitude almost always referenced from take-off location does not take terrain profile levels into account. This critical da...

a vertex irregular total k-labeling of a graph g with vertex set v and edge set e is an assignment of positive integer labels {1, 2, ..., k} to both vertices and edges so that the weights calculated at vertices are distinct. the total vertex irregularity strength of g, denoted by tvs(g)is the minimum value of the largest label k over all such irregular assignment. in this paper, we study the to...

BACKGROUND Dysregulated respiratory control may play a role in the pathophysiology of panic disorder. This could be due to abnormalities in brain stem respiratory nuclei or to dysregulation at higher brain levels. Results from previous studies using the doxapram model of panic have yielded an unclear picture. A brief cognitive manipulation reduced doxapram-induced hyperventilation in patients, ...

Cutaneous melanocytic lesions, commonly known as moles, are mostly benign; however, some of them are malignant melanomas, the most fatal form of skin cancer. Because the survival rate of melanoma is inversely proportional to the thickness of the tumor, early detection is vital to the treatment process. Many dermatologists have advocated the development of computer-aided diagnosis systems for ea...

Davies, Ronnie M., George L. Gerstein, and Stuart N. Baker. Measurement of time-dependent changes in the irregularity of neural spiking. J Neurophysiol 96: 906–918, 2006. First published March 22, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.01030.2005. Irregularity of firing in spike trains has been associated with coding processes and information transfer or alternatively treated as noise. Previous studies of irregu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the tongue volume and lower incisor irregularity, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to identify the possible gender differences. CBCT images of 60 patients between 16 and 36 years of age were selected from 1400 sets of images in the database. Tomography was carried out using iCAT® (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfi...

A growing body of work on morphological irregularity has shown that the productivity of irregular morphological processes is sensitive to phonological context. However, these studies have focused almost exclusively on patterns of irregularity found in European languages. In this paper, I discuss a typologically different pattern of irregularity found in Lakhota: person marking appears as a pref...

Bell's degree-variance Var$!{}_{B}$ for a graph $G$, with the degree sequence ($d_1,d_2,cdots,d_n$) and size $m$, is defined as$Var!_{B} (G)=frac{1}{n} sum _{i=1}^{n}left[d_{i} -frac{2m}{n}right]^{2}$.In this paper, a new version of the irregularity measures of variance-type, denoted by $Var_q$, is introduced and discussed. Based on a comparative study, it is demonstrated that the n...
