Due to climate change, frequencies of natural disasters, including earthquake, hurricane, typhoon and heavy precipitations, increase rapidly. The emergency distribution center (EDC) plays an important role in emergency planning and disaster response. During the process of delivering relief to shelters, the infrastructure could be deteriorated by the disaster. Most of the existing models neglect...

Based on the research progress in related fields and the distribution characteristics of road networks in valley cities, the complex network model of a city road network is established to study its connectivity reliability. Taking Lanzhou as the example, several parameters of the complex network abstracted from the road network are calculated and the practical meanings of them are described, re...

Introduction: Resting-state (RS) functional connectivity (FC) analysis has become a widely used method for the investigation of human brain connectivity and pathology. While most of the current applications are based on data-driven analyses, the use of functionally specific, a priori defined networks provided by neuroimaging meta-analyses represent an important alternative to these, as they all...

In a structured system graphically represented, the satisfaction of structural properties depends on graphical conditions. Among these conditions, we choose to study one of the most commonly used conditions, the so-called connectivity condition. The validity of this condition depends on the validity of some edges in the system graphical representation. The corresponding edges reflect the operat...

Network properties can be estimated using functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI). However, regional variation of the fMRI signal causes systematic biases in network estimates including correlation attenuation in regions of low measurement reliability. Here we computed the spatial distribution of fcMRI reliability using longitudinal fcMRI datasets and demonstrated how pre-estimated reliability maps...

Networks reliability analysis consists of determining the probability of correct operations of a system. Generally, the network is modeled as a connected graph and formally approached as a stochastic coherent binary system (SCBS). It represents the functioning of a system such as telecommunication and transportation networks, or simply hardware/software devices. Real networks model could be ver...

k-Restricted edge connectivity is an important parameter in measuring the reliability and fault tolerance of large interconnection networks. In this paper we present two families of graphs similar with the networks proposed by Chen et al. [Y.C. Chen, J.J.M. Tan, L.H. Hsu, S.S. Kao, Super-connectivity and super edge-connectivity for some interconnection networks, Applied Mathematics and Computat...
