The Entropic Braiding Index : A Robust Metric to Account for the Diversity of Channel Scales in Multi‐Thread Rivers by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…Here we present a modification of BI, the Entropic Braiding Index (eBI), which augments the information content in BI by using Shannon Entropy to encode the diversity of channels in each cross section. eBI is interpreted as the number of “effective channels” per cross-section, allowing a direct comparison with the traditional BI. …”

Correlation Clustering via 2-Club Clustering with Vertex Splitting by Thoumi, Sergio

“…In the realm of graph theory, correlation cluster is studied as a graph modification problem known under "Cluster Editing." In this problem, we apply a sequence of k edge (or vertex) additions and/or deletions so the graph becomes a topological sum of clusters. …”

Modal disparity and its experimental verification by Issa, Jimmy

“…For a given structure, the concept of modal disparity describes the structure's ability to generate significant changes in the mode shapes by some type of on-the-fly structural modification. In the present study we consider a vibrating beam that experiences a controlled stiffness change, induced by the activation and deactivation of an electromagnetic brake that causes a spatially localized change in the bending stiffness. …”

Toward systematic integration of security policies into web services by Mourad, Azzam

“…The main contributions of our approach are: (1) Describing dynamic security policies, (2) generating automatically the BPEL aspects, (3) separating the business and security concerns of composite web services, and hence developing them separately (4) allowing the modification of the dynamic security features and web services composition at run time and (5) providing modularity for modeling cross-cutting concerns between web services.…”

Alkyl Monolayers on Silica Surfaces Prepared from Neat, Heated (Tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)-1- dimethylchlorosilane Analyzed by XPS by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…Silane monolayers on silica, prepared from mono-, di-, and trichlorosilanes, are widely used in industry for surface functionalization and modification. However, unlike di- and trichlorosilanes, monochlorosilanes are particularly easy to work with because they can dimerize, but not polymerize, upon reaction with water. …”

Evaluation of new pavement technologies in Nevada by Bazi, G.M.

“…In light of the field performance data that have been developed on the use of PG grading system with Hveem mixtures, it is recommended that any implementation of the Superpave PG grading system in Nevada should be accompanied with specific requirements on the use of polymer modification process. These requirements can be in terms of dictating the percent and/or type of polymer to be used. …”
