the wiener index w(g) of a connected graph g is defined as the sum of the distances betweenall unordered pairs of vertices of g. the eccentricity of a vertex v in g is the distance to avertex farthest from v. in this paper we obtain the wiener index of a graph in terms ofeccentricities. further we extend these results to the self-centered graphs.

Eccentricity detection is a crucial issue for highspeed rotating machinery, which concerns the stability and safety of the machinery. Conventional techniques in industry for eccentricity detection are mainly based on measuring certain physical indicators, which are costly and hard to deploy. In this paper, we propose RED, a non-intrusive, low-cost, and realtime RFID-based eccentricity detection...

The aim of the present study was to show that planning and controlling the trajectory of a pointing movement is influenced not solely by physical constraints but also by visual constraints. Subjects were required to point towards different targets located at 20 degrees , 40 degrees , 60 degrees and 80 degrees of eccentricity. Movements were either constrained (i.e. two-dimensional movements) or...

The latency time, which is the residual vibration of afine actuator and track eccentricity, has been the aim for direct pull-in in optical disk system. Modified velocity profiles of the coarse actuator and control inputs of the fine actuator have been proposed for the minimum residual vibration. Generally, there exists eccentricity due to mismatch of the disk center and the axis of a spindle mo...

Subjects made saccades to point and spatially-extended targets located at a randomly-selected eccentricity (3.8-4.2 deg) under conditions designed to promote best possible accuracy based only on the visual information present in a single trial. Saccadic errors to point targets were small. The average difference between mean saccade size and target eccentricity was about 1% of eccentricity. Prec...

We describe simple heuristics, based on perceptual variables, that produce human-like trajectories towards moving and stationary targets, and around moving and stationary obstacles. Interception of moving and stationary objects can be achieved through regulation of self-movement to maintain a target at a constant eccentricity, or by cancelling the change (drift) in the eccentricity of the targe...

The non-uniform air gap in an electrical machine caused by rotor eccentricity creates an asymmetrical flux-density distribution in the air gap. This can affect the nominal torque produced by the machine. Eccentricity also produces forces that act on the rotor which may also have an effect on the torque. Thus, it is important to know how the torque of the machine behaves. In this paper, the torq...

BACKGROUND Significant paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with negative clinical consequences. We hypothesize that increased eccentricity of the aortic annulus is associated with greater PAR. METHODS Patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before successful TAVI with the Med...
