Application of Graph Theory and Variants of Greedy Graph Coloring Algorithms for Optimization of Distributed Peer-to-Peer Blockchain Networks by Miljenko Švarcmajer, Denis Ivanović, Tomislav Rudec, Ivica Lukić

“…., the number of links, on the efficiency of greedy algorithms such as DSATUR, Descending, and Ascending. Experimental results show that increasing the number of links in the network contributes to a more uniform distribution of colors and increases the resistance of the network, whereby the DSATUR algorithm achieves the most uniform color saturation. …”

Experimental Study on Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Granite and Sandstone under Uniaxial Compression by Yongshuai Sun, Fei Yu, Jianguo Lv

“…The results of the study are as follows: there is a quiet zone in the acoustic emission event before the rock is destroyed and destabilized, and the higher the rock strength, the more obvious the quiet zone; this important feature can be used as a precursor feature of rock mass failure for prediction, and the rock acoustic emission energy rate is more obvious in the quiet area before destruction than the acoustic emission event rate; rock acoustic emission has experienced initial compaction zone, rising zone, peak zone, and descending zone, whether different rocks go through each stage and how long each stage lasts is related to the nature of the rock; under different loading methods, the failure mechanism of rock is different; the different loading rates of monotonic loading and grading loading will affect the change rate of acoustic emission.…”
