An Intermediate Value Theorem for the Arboricities by Avapa Chantasartrassmee, Narong Punnim

“…Thus, for an arbitrary graphical sequence d and π∈{a,a1}, the two invariants x(π)=min(π,d):=min{π(G):G∈R(d)} and  y(π)=max(π,d):=max{π(G):G∈R(d)} naturally arise and hence π(d):={π(G):G∈R(d)}={z∈Z:x(π)≤z≤y(π)}. …”

Adsorption of Zn and Cd Ions on Vermiculite in Buffered and Unbuffered Aqueous Solutions by Xiaofu Wu, Hailan Zhou, Fang Zhao, Chong Zhao

“…Within the pH range tested (initial pH < 7), the competitive effect of H + ions was equivalent to that of Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ ions. In unitary, binary and ternary systems, highly significant linear correlations were obtained between the change in the ionic strength (ΔI) and the quantity of ion adsorption. …”

Quantitative Nondestructive Testing of Wire Rope Using Image Super-Resolution Method and AdaBoost Classifier by Jigang Li, Juwei Zhang

“…An AdaBoost classifier is designed to classify defects by texture features and invariant moments of defect images. The experimental results show that the detection device not only improves the circumferential resolution, but also the operation is simple; the resolution and quality of the defect images are improved by the proposed super-resolution algorithm, and defects are identified by using the AdaBoost classifier.…”

Unit Disk Graph-Based Node Similarity Index for Complex Network Analysis by Natarajan Meghanathan

“…There exists an edge between two vertices in the unit disk graph if the Euclidean distance between the two vertices in the normalized coordinate system is within a threshold value (ranging from 0 tok, where k is the number of node-level metrics considered). We run a binary search algorithm to determine the minimum value for the threshold distance that would yield a connected unit disk graph of the vertices. …”
