Graph connectivity and vector degree in motif-based graphs
… complex networks. However, a problem of connectivity in motif-based graphs also arises because generated motif-based graphs can be disconnected even though the standard graphs are connected. Here we first survey existing works on connectivity metrics in standard graphs, then propose a new …

Simulation of protected area and forestry cutblock design in the boreal plain ecoregion
… did not significantly affect the loss of connectivity, though doubling the expected area of harvest did increase the loss of certain connectivity metrics. The conclusions drawn from this thesis are relevant to landscape planners and conservation managers, but should be paired with the …

A study of infrastructural connectivity on a college campus: the case of the University of Alabama
… was evaluated to identify the overall connectivity for student commuting. This evaluation was completed by using graph theory applications to gauge to overall connectivity of the sidewalk, bike lane, and bus route networks available to students at the University of Alabama. Through GIS …

The influence of surface - subsurface connectivity on groundwater flow and solute transport in a deltaic aquifer
… focuses on modeling the deltaic subsurface connectivity and exploring its relationship to surface channel networks. Surface channels redistribute dynamically, depositing sediments over time and creating subsurface paleo-channels. Therefore, incorporating surface-subsurface processes in the …

The Effects of Youth Football on the Developing Brain: A Multi-Modal Neuroimaging Study
… with neuroimaging measures, exploring network connectivity, and examining how RHI may modulate the relationship between function and structural neuroimaging measures. This dissertation is partitioned across 3 main parts. Specific Aim 1. Compare MEG and DKI metrics to biomechanical measures of …

A macro-micro system architecture analysis framework applied to Smart Grid meter data management systems by Sooraj Prasannan.
… central components in the system based on the connectivity metrics of Indegree centrality, Outdegeree centrality, Visibility and Dependency. The conclusions are drawn based on simultaneously interpreting the results derived from the Macro-Level and Micro-Level Analysis. Macro-Analysis is vital …

Test-retest Reliability of Intrinsic Human Brain Default-Mode fMRI Connectivity: Slice Acquisition and Physiological Noise Correction Effects
… study evaluated longitudinal changes in the DMN connectivity from a 4T single-site study of 24 healthy young volunteers who were scanned twice within a week. Within each scanning session, RS-fMRI scans were acquired once using interleaved and then sequential slice-order acquisition methods. …

Uncovering Dynamic Semantic Networks in the Brain Using Novel Approaches for EEG/MEG Connectome Reconstruction
… semantic cognition. For this purpose, we use connectivity analyses, measures of graph theory and permutation-based statistics with source reconstructed Electro-/MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (EEG/MEG) data in order to track dynamic modulations of activity and connectivity within the semantic networks …

Development of novel multidimensional pattern-based EEG/MEG connectivity methods and their application to investigate the semantic brain network
Functional and effective connectivity methods are key to understanding how brain regions interplay to perform complex cognitive processes. Yet, most current connectivity methods summarise activity within brain regions to unidimensional measures, resulting in a loss of information. Only recently, …

Spatio-Temporal Connectivity in Dynamic Tropical Fragmented Landscapes
… insights towards (i) the development of new metrics to quantify landscape dynamics; (ii) the assessment of the effects of land-use intensification on spatio-temporal dynamics and connectivity; and (iii) the quantification of potential drivers of these changes in the spatial dynamics. In the …
