eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significantpotential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. wepresent here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs.we also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with thenumber of vertices and determine the ...

We prove an abstract version of an edge-splitting theorem for directed hypergraphs that appeared in [1], and use this result to obtain min-max theorems on hypergraph augmentation problems that are linked to orientations. These problems include (k, l)-edge-connectivity augmentation of directed hypergraphs, and (k, l)-partition-connectivity augmentation of undirected hypergraphs by uniform hypere...

Wheat yield and quality parameters are spatially variable because of inherent spatial variability of factors affecting crop at a field scale. The following semolina quality parameters were analyzed in 100 georeferenced locations, in a 12-ha durum wheat field in southern Italy: protein content (PC, %), dough strength (W = Jx10 ) and tenacity/extensibility ratio (P/L). The study identified few ho...

Background: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that severely affects the perception and relations of individuals. Nowadays, this disease is diagnosed by psychiatrists based on psychiatric tests, which is highly dependent on their experience and knowledge. This study aimed to design a fully automated framework for the diagnosis of schizophrenia from electroencephalogram signals using advanced de...
