We provide a characterization of closeness centrality in the class distance-based centralities. To this end, we introduce natural property, called majority comparison, that states out two adjacent nodes one closer to more is central. prove any satisfies property gives same ranking every graph as centrality. The axiom inspired by interpretation an election which are both voters and candidates th...

A finite form of de Finetti’s representation theorem is established using elementary information-theoretic tools: The distribution the first k random variables in an exchangeable binary vector length n≥k close to a mixture product distributions. Closeness measured terms relative entropy and explicit bound provided.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics are regulated by the complex interplay of climatic, edaphic and biotic conditions. However, the interrelation of SOC and these drivers and their potential connection networks are rarely assessed quantitatively. Using observations of SOC dynamics with detailed soil properties from 90 field trials at 28 sites under different agroecosystems across the Australian ...

Biofuel can become a favorable sustainable energy resource in India by relieving conventional fossil fuels. However, biofuel enterprises (BEs) are still the preliminary phase because of development barriers (SDBs) environmental, technological, economic, social, and regulatory aspects. In paper, nineteen SDBs to biofuels identified studying literature decision experts’ (DEs’) views. Considering ...

This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...

Learning in shape identification led to global changes in activation across the entire visual pathway, as revealed with whole-brain fMRI. Following extensive training in a shape identification task, brain activity associated with trained shapes relative to the untrained shapes showed: (1) an increased level of activity in retinotopic cortex (RC), (2) a decrease in activation of the lateral occi...

This contribution reports on three sentence processing experiments involving structurally ambiguous Jabberwocky strings. The items are complex NPs, in which a relative clause can be attached to either of two nominal heads (NP1-preposition-NP2-RC). The phonological lengths of the heads, as well as that of the relative clause, are manipulated. The results show modest effects on relative clause at...

The influence of annealing time on temperature range of martensitic phase transition (ΔT(A-M)), thermal hysteresis (ΔThys), magnetic hysteresis loss (ΔMhys), magnetic entropy change (ΔS(M)) and relative refrigeration capacity (RC) of the Mn-rich Ni43Mn46Sn11 melt spun ribbons have been systematically studied. By optimal annealing, an extremely large ΔS(M) of 43.2 J.kg(-1)K(-1) and a maximum RC ...
