The metric backbone of a weighted graph is the union of all-pairs shortest paths. It is obtained by removing all edges (u,v) that are not the shortest path between u and v. In networks with well-separated communities, the metric backbone tends to pre ...
The images show two different and complementary views of a mixture of Light Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) particles with size ranging between 0.25–1.0 mm. The upper-left is a SEM image showing a projected view of the particles, while the lower-left is a s ...
Failure detectors (FD)s are celebrated for their modularity in solving distributed problems. Algorithms are constructed using FD building blocks. Synchrony assumptions to implement FDs are studied separately and are typically expressed as eventual guarante ...
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that biomechanical parameters typically associated with glenoid implant failure after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) would be correlated with preoperative glenoid bone quality. Methods: We developed an objective aut ...
The need to model rare events of univariate time series has led to many recent advances in theory and methods. In this paper, we review telegraphically the literature on extremes of dependent time series and list some remaining challenges. ...
We present a new model for LT codes which simplifies the analysis of the error probability of decoding by belief propagation. For any given degree distribution, we provide the first rigorous expression for the limiting bit-error probability as the length o ...
