an analytical equation of state was applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon.the equation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbationtheory of the hard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. thereexist three temperature-dependent parameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecularvo...

a = nongray stretching factor for fill-spectrum k-distribution method I = radiative intensity,W∕m sr Ib = blackbody intensity/Planck function, W∕m sr k = reordered absorption coefficients in k distribution, cm−1 L = length of one-dimensional medium, cm M = total number of groups of nth gas component N = total number of species/scales P = total pressure, bar PL = pressure path length, P × L, bar...

Complex networks are constructed for studying the co-occurrence of characters and words in the Chinese language. Two types of networks are investigated. In the first type, nodes correspond to Chinese characters, and in the second type, nodes correspond to Chinese words. Moreover, edges correspond to connections of characters and/or words that occur consecutively. Networks are built from a colle...

An acquaintance network is a social structure made up of a set of actors and the ties between them. These ties change dynamically as a consequence of incessant interactions between the actors. In this paper we introduce a social network model called the Interaction-Based (IB) model that involves well-known sociological principles. The connections between the actors and the strength of the conne...

It is highly desirable and challenging for a wireless ad hoc network to have self-organization properties in order to achieve network wide characteristics. Studies have shown that Small World properties, primarily low average path length and high clustering coefficient, are desired properties for networks in general. However, due to the spatial nature of the wireless networks, achieving small w...

We introduce recursive corona graphs as a model of small-world networks. We investigate analytically the critical characteristics of the model, including order and size, degree distribution, average path length, clustering coefficient, and the number of spanning trees, as well as Kirchhoff index. Furthermore, we study the spectra for the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian matrix for the model. ...

A Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET) is a special subset of multi-hop Mobile Ad hoc Networks, in which the vehicles wireless interfaces can communicate with each other, as well as with fixed equipments alongside city roads or highways. Vehicular mobility dynamic characteristics, including high speed, predictable, restricted mobility pattern significantly affect the performance of routing protocol...

In this paper, we propose a class of models for generating spatial versions of three classic networks: Erdös-Rényi (ER), Watts-Strogatz (WS), and BarabásiAlbert (BA). We assume that nodes have geographical coordinates, are uniformly distributed over an m 9 m Cartesian space, and long-distance connections are penalized. Our computational results show higher clustering coefficient, assortativity,...
