Connected dominating set (CDS) problem in unit disk graph has signi£cant impact on an ef£cient design of routing protocols in wireless sensor networks, where the searching space for a route is reduced to nodes in the set. A set is dominating if all the nodes in the system are either in the set or neighbors of nodes in the set. In this paper, a simple and ef£cient heuristic method is proposed fo...

Missense, nonsense and frame-shift mutations in the collagen X gene (COL10A1) result in metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid (MCDS). Complete degradation of mutant COL10A1 mRNA by nonsense-mediated decay in human MCDS cartilage implicates haploinsufficiency in the pathogenesis for nonsense mutations in vivo. However, the mechanism is unclear in situations where the mutant mRNA persist. We s...

Abstract This study explores the impact of participation in a series moral case deliberations (MCD) on craftsmanship (MCS) Dutch prison staff. Between 2017–2020, ten MCDs per team were implemented three prisons (i.e., intervention group). In other control group) no implemented. We compared and group using self-developed questionnaire, administered before (pre-measurement) after (post-measuremen...

Finding the minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) is a key problem in wireless sensor networks, which is crucial for efficient routing and broadcasting. However, the MCDS problem is NP-hard. In this paper, a new approximation algorithm with approximation ratio H( )+ 3 in time O n2 is proposed to approach the MCDS problem. The key idea is to divide the sensors in CDS into core sensors and supp...

This paper proposes and analyzes energy efficient Convex Hull based Minimum Connected Dominating Set [CHMCDS] algorithm. The algorithm achieves energy efficiency, bandwidth efficiency, reliability and robustness by reducing redundant rebroadcasts of control packets in the network. The Connected Dominating Set (CDS) is widely used as a virtual backbone or Spine in mobile ad-hoc networks for the ...

The concept of the minimum dataset (MDS) is taking on an increasingly important role in healthcare. In the current environment of health information exchange and universal implementation of electronic health records, work related to the development of one specific type of MDS, the minimum clinical dataset (MCDS), is beginning to permeate the literature. While there is currently no unified defin...

Connected Dominating Set (CDS) has been a well known approach for constructing a virtual backbone to alleviate the broadcasting storm in wireless networks. Previous literature modeled the wireless network in a 2-dimensional plane and looked for the approximated Minimum CDS (MCDS) distributed or centralized to construct the virtual backbone of the wireless network. However, in some real situatio...

We propose algorithms for efficiently maintaining a constant-approximate minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) of a geometric graph under node insertions and deletions. Assuming that two nodes are adjacent in the graph iff they are within a fixed geometric distance, we show that an O(1)-approximate MCDS of a graph in R d with n nodes can be maintained with polylogarithmic (in n) work per node...

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are macroscopic or microscopic abnormalities of the cerebral cortex that arise as a consequence of an interruption to the normal steps of formation of the cortical plate. The human cortex develops its basic structure during the first two trimesters of pregnancy as a series of overlapping steps, beginning with proliferation and differentiation of neur...

Minimum Connected Dominating Sets (MCDSs) are used as virtual backbones for efficient routing and broadcasting in wireless networks extensively. However, the MCDS problem is NP-Complete even in Unit Disk Graphs. Therefore, many heuristic-based approximation algorithms have been proposed recently. In these approaches, networks are deterministic where two nodes are assumed either connected or dis...
