To improve the seismic connectivity reliability (SCR) analysis efficiency of water distribution systems (WDS) based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, quasi-Monte (QMC) method sampled by a low-discrepancy sequence is applied. Furthermore, parallel algorithm combined with breadth-first search for SCR WDS QMC and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) platform was proposed. A city taken as compu...

Modern wireless sensor networks require specific and high degree of security due to their limitation and versatility tasks. The absence of permanent infrastructure makes these networks suitable for many civilian applications. But their limited computational ability and battery resources restrictions makes them vulnerable to many kinds of attacks. This paper presents reliability in Wireless Sens...

Functional connectivity (FC) has become a leading method for resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analysis. However, the majority of the previous studies utilized pairwise, temporal synchronization-based FC. Recently, high-order FC (HOFC) methods were proposed with the idea of computing "correlation of correlations" to capture high-level, more complex associations among...

Most of the existing node depth-adjustment deployment algorithms for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) just consider how to optimize network coverage and connectivity rate. However, these literatures don't discuss full network connectivity, while optimization of network energy efficiency and network reliability are vital topics for UWSN deployment. Therefore, in this study, a depth-ad...

Interaction among genes and gene products has a major role in many cellular processes. Obtaining an accurate picture of protein-protein interactions is one of the major challenges to the systematic understanding of cellular activity. While there are reliable but time-consuming experimental techniques to determine interactions, there have been developed a variety of high-throughput methods to ob...

At present, free-to-move node self-deployment algorithms aim at event coverage and cannot improve network coverage under the premise of considering network connectivity, network reliability and network deployment energy consumption. Thus, this study proposes pigeon-based self-deployment algorithm (PSA) for underwater wireless sensor networks to overcome the limitations of these existing algorit...
