Resting-state Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(fMRI) data detects the temporal correlations in Blood Oxygen Level Dependent(BOLD) signal and these temporal correlations are regarded to reflect intrinsic cortical connectivity, which is deactivated during attention demanding, non-self referential tasks, called Default Mode Network(DMN). The relationship between fMRI and anatomical connectivity has not been studied in detail, however, the preceded studies have tried to clarify this relationship using Diffusion Tensor Imaging(DTI) and fMRI. These studies use method that fMRI data assists DTI data or vice versa and it is used as guider to perform DTI tractography on the brain image. In this study, we hypothesized that functional connectivity in resting state would reflect anatomical connectivity of DMN and the combined images include information of fMRI and DTI showed visible connection between brain regions related in DMN. In the previous study, functional connectivity was determined by subjective region of interest method. However, in this study, functional connectivity was determined by objective and advanced method through Independent Component Analysis. There was a stronger connection between Posterior Congulate Cortex(PCC) and PHG(Parahippocampa Gyrus) than Anterior Cingulate Cortex(ACC) and PCC. This technique might be used in several clinical field and will be the basis for future studies related to aging and the brain diseases, which are needed to be translated not only functional connectivity, but structural connectivity.

다중 컴퓨터 네트워크의 고장 감내에 대한 대표적인 결정적 척도로 연결도와 에지 연결도가 있다. 연결도나 에지 연결도는 어떤 정점 분리 집합이나 에지 분리 집합을 제거했을 때 남은 그래프의 형태를 고려하지 않는다는 문제가 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 superconnectivity, toughness, scattering number, vertex-integrity, binding number, restricted connectivity와 같은 일반화된 연결성 척도들이 함께 사용된다. 이 논문에서는 재귀원형군과 하이퍼큐브의 고장 감내에 대한 이러한 결정적 척도를 분석하고, 고장 감내 측면에서 비교한다.

Robotic sensor network (RSN) contains mobile sensors and robots providing feasible solution for many multi-agent applications. One of the most critical issues in RSN and its application is how to effectively assign tasks. This paper presents a novel connectivity preserving hybrid task allocation strategy to answer the question particularly for RSN. Firstly, we model the task allocation in RSN to distinguish the discovering and allocating processes. Secondly, a fully distributed simple Task-oriented Unoccupied Neighbor Algorithm, named TUNA, is developed to allocate tasks with only partial view of the network topology. A connectivity controller is finally developed and integrated into the strategy to guarantee the global connectivity of entire RSN, which is critical to most RSN applications. The correctness, efficiency and scalability of TUNA are proved with both theoretical analysis and experimental simulations. The evaluation results show that TUNA can effectively assign tasks to mobile robots with the requirements of only a few messages and small movements of mobile agents.

This study analyzed the effects on system quality, learning commitment, and satisfaction in a mobile environment. A survey was conducted on 192 students enrolled in K University, and the research results are as follows. first, it was found that usefulness had an effect on learning commitment, but connectivity and reliability did not affect learning commitment. second, it was found that the usefulness and connectivity of the system quality had a significant effect on the satisfaction of use. third, the intermediary effect of learning immersion was verified as the connectivity, reliability, and usefulness of the system quality influence the satisfaction of use. connectivity and reliability had no mediating effect of learning commitment, and usefulness was found to play a partial mediating role in affecting user satisfaction. This study is meaningful in that it can provide a plan for improving the quality management of mobile learning and improving the learning effect by analyzing the effects on mobile learning from multiple perspectives.

Vehicular density is usually low in a highway environment. Consequently, connectivity of the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) might be poor. We are investigating the problem of deploying the approximation optimal roadside units (RSUs) on the highway covered by VANETs, which employs VANETs to provide excellent connectivity. The goal is to estimate the minimal number of deployed RSUs to guarantee the connectivity probability of the VANET within a given threshold considering that RSUs are to be allocated equidistantly. We apply an approximation algorithm to distribute RSUs locations in the VANETs. Thereafter, performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by calculating the connectivity probability of the VANET. The simulation results show that there is the threshold value M of implemented RSUs corresponding to each vehicular network with N vehicles. The connectivity probability increases slowly with the number of RSUs getting larger.

선분 그래프(interval graph) G=(V,E)는 직선 상의 선분들을 나타내는 정점 집합 V와 간선 $(i,j){\in}E$는 선분 i와 j가 교차함을 나타내는 간선들의 집합 E로 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 그래프의 여러 특성 중에서 정점 연결성(vertex connectivity)에 주목한다. 특별히 선분들이 겹쳐지는 모습으로 선분 그래프의 정점 연결성을 나타낸다. 또한 선분 그래프에서 정점이나 간선이 추가 되거나 삭제되는 완전 동적 (fully dynamic) 환경에서 정점 연결성을 계산하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안할 것이다. 특별한 형태의 선분 트리(interval tree)를 사용하여 새로운 선분이 추가되거나 삭제되는 상황 하에서 정점 연결성을 계산하고 트리를 유지하는데 O(logn) 시간이 소요됨을 보일 것이다.

Since web has been used as the front-end of database, many web database connectivity tools have been developed and being developed now. For web developers and educators, it has been a difficult problem to select one tool out of so many alternatives. This paper compares web database connectivity tools available on PC Windows environment in the viewpoint of developers and educators. This comparative analysis focuses on the functions and programming techniques provided by these tools through implementing a simple case study using these software solutions. The performance analysis of these tools was not done in this reason.

Topology control increases channel efficiency by controlling transmission power of a node, and as a result, network lifetime and throughput are increased. However, reducing transmission range causes a network connectivity problem, especially in mobile networks. When a network loses connectivity, the network topology should be re-configured. However, topology re-configuration consumes lots of energy because every node need to collect neighbor information. As a result, network lifetime may decrease, even though topology control is being used to prolong the network lifetime. Therefore, network connectivity time needs to be increased to expend network lifetime in mobile networks. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive-Redundant Transmission Range (A-RTR) algorithm to address this need. A-RTR uses a redundant transmission range considering a node status and flexibly changes a node's transmission range after a topology control is performed.

This study presents conceptual information of newly optimized shapes and connectivity of the so-called outrigger truss system for modern tall buildings that resists lateral loads induced by wind and earthquake forces. In practice, the outrigger truss consists of triangular or Vierendeel types to stiffen tall buildings, and the decision of outrigger design has been qualitatively achieved by only engineers' experience and intuition, including information of structural behaviors, although outrigger shapes and the member's connectivity absolutely affect building stiffness, the input of material, construction ability and so on. Therefore the design of outrigger trusses needs to be measured and determined according to scientific proofs like reliable optimal design tools. In this study, at first the shape and connectivity of an outrigger truss system are visually evaluated by using a conceptual design tool of the classical topology optimization method, and then are quantitatively investigated with respect to a structural safety as stiffness, an economical aspect as material quantity, and construction characteristics as the number of member connection. Numerical applications are studied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design process to generate a new shape and connectivity of the outrigger for both static and dynamic responses.
