To be able to understand how infectious diseases spread on networks, it is important to understand the network structure itself in the absence of infection. In this text we consider dynamic network models that are inspired by the (static) configuration network. The networks are described by population-level averages such as the fraction of the population with k partners, k = 0, 1, 2, . . . This...

The paper ‘‘Mean Distance and Minimum Degree,’’ by Mekkia Kouider and Peter Winkler, JGT 25#1 (1997), 95–99 mistakenly attributes the computer program GRAFFITI to Fajtlowitz and Waller, instead of just Fajtlowitz. (Our apologies to Siemion Fajtlowitz.) Note also that one of the ‘‘flaws’’ we note for Conjecture 62 (that it was made for graphs regular of degree d, vice graphs of minimum degree d)...

homogeneity and uniformity of soil particles is a most potent factor which affects soil spectral signatures. geometric standard deviation of soil particles (?g) exhibits the homogeneity of soil components. this study presents the influence of ?g on spectral studying of soil geometric mean particle diameter as well as lime. the study was conducted in pol-e-dokhtar using the data set of lissiii-p...

Global Rainbow Thermometry is presented. It is a new technique for measuring average size and temperature of spray droplets. For data inversion, a global rainbow pattern is employed, which is formed by constructive interference of laser-light scattering spherical droplets. The non-spherical droplets and liquid ligaments provide a uniform background and thus do not influence the interference pat...

soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure.so, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. this area is arounding sa...

PURPOSE To compare the ocular anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, as measured with two different Scheimpflug imaging devices. METHODS This transversal study included 80 right eyes from 80 subjects aged from 20 to 40 years. Their spherical equivalents ranged from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters (D). Each eye's anterior chamber depth, white-to-wh...

A unique sensing system is described using an ultrasonic transducer for measuring tree trunk diameters in the orchard. Trunk diameters were calculated from the time it took sound waves to travel from the transducer to the trunk and back to the sensor. The device was calibrated with objects ranging in diameter from 1.6 (0.63 inch) to 19.0 cm (7.5 inches). The distance between the transducer and ...

A Radio Heronian Mean Dd-distance Labeling of a connected graph is an injective map from the vertex set N such that for two distinct vertices and , Dd where denotes between Dd-diameter G.
