In this paper, we propose a growing random complex network model, which we call context dependent preferential attachment model (CDPAM), when the preference of a new node to get attached to old nodes is determined by the local and global property of the old nodes. We consider that local and global properties of a node as the degree and relative average degree of the node respectively. We prove ...

Cellular functions related to the maintenance of homoeostasis are regulated by shear forces sensed by endothelial cells. The endothelial cells sense local changes in shear stress. The resulting signals are either transduced into chemical responses or transmitted to the surroundings to regulate the cellular activity [1-5]. In the current literature, models of blood flow applied to the characteri...

This paper presents a method to automatically measure cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) from a chest radiographic images using non-linear least square approximation and local minimum. The proposed method consists of initial boundary point identification, cardiac diameter measurement, thoracic diameter measurement and cardio-thoracic ratio measurement. First, the initial boundary points used to approx...

Geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) uses radio telescopes as sensor networks to determine Earth orientation parameters and baseline vectors between the telescopes. The TWIN Telescope Wettzell 1 (TTW1), the first of the new 13.2 m diameter telescope pair at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell, Germany, is currently in its commissioning phase. The technology behind this radio telescop...
