let $gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. denote by $upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. in the classes of graphs $gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented zagreb index are determined.

OBJECTIVE The serotonin transporter polymorphism short (s) allele is associated with heightened emotional reactivity and reduced emotion regulation, which increases vulnerability to depression and anxiety disorders. We investigated behavioral and neural markers of emotion regulation in community-dwelling older adults, contrasting s allele carriers and long allele homozygotes. METHODS Particip...

IEEE 1451 specifies smart sensor function and connectivity to networks. This marks an evolution from central system control by a master processor with “dumb” nodes to distributed control networks of “smart” sensors. Controller Area Network (CAN) is a multi-master protocol designed for communications in real-time, distributed control systems. Therefore, it is logical that CAN be used to network ...

We propose the notions of “density” and “connectivity” of infinite process graphs and investigate them in the context of the wellknown process algebras BPA and BPP. For a process graph G, the density function in a state s maps a natural number n to the number of states of G with distance less or equal to n from s. The connectivity of a process graph G in a state s is a measure for how many diff...

Molar excess Volumes, Vijk and speeds of sound , uijk of 2-pyrrolidinone (i) + benzene or toluene (j) + ethanol (k) ternary mixture have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. The observed speeds of sound data have been utilized to determine excess isentropic compressiblities, ( E S κ )ijk of ternary (i + j + k) mixtures. Molar excess volumes, Vijk and excess isentropic compres...

Manganese-induced ΔR1 in contralesional M2, S1FL and S2 at 1 day after injection in M1, and corresponding functional connectivity (FC) between contralesional M1 and M2, S1FL and S2 for both control (=C) (n=7) and stroke (=S) (n=5) groups. Enhanced functional and structural connectivity in the contralesional hemisphere after unilateral stroke in rats: A combined resting-state fMRI and MEM...

BACKGROUND An increasing number of neuroscientific studies gain insights by focusing on differences in functional connectivity-between groups, individuals, temporal windows, or task conditions. We found using simulations that additional insights into such differences can be gained by forgoing variance normalization, a procedure used by most functional connectivity measures. Simulations indicate...

Abstract Let $$D=(V,A)$$ D = ( V , A ) be a digraph of order n , S subset V size k and $$2\le k\le n$$ 2 ≤ k n . A st...

We introduce a “derandomized” analogue of graph squaring. This operation increases the connectivity of the graph (as measured by the second eigenvalue) almost as well as squaring the graph does, yet only increases the degree of the graph by a constant factor, instead of squaring the degree. One application of this product is an alternative proof of Reingold’s recent breakthrough result that S-T...
