Component graphs of vector spaces and zero-divisor graphs of ordered sets

AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics
In this paper, nonzero component graphs and nonzero component union graphs of finite-dimensional vector spaces are studied using the zero-divisor graph of a specially constructed 0–1-distributive lattice and the zero-divisor graph of rings.

Osmotic Remodeling of Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Nanomedicine

Small, EarlyView.
Hypotonic lysis in bidistilled water is used to remodel B lymphocyte–derived extracellular vesicles into cargo‐depleted, structurally preserved nanovesicles. The process reduces intraluminal proteins and nucleic acids, reshapes membrane composition, and enhances tumor‐cell uptake in vitro, while allowing proof‐of‐concept reloading with exogenous agents,

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Numerically efficient mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete membrane elements with fixed, interlocked cracks

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Compression field approaches such as the Cracked Membrane Model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM‐F) are efficient tools for the mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete elements, providing the mechanical model σ=fε$$ \boldsymbol{\upsigma} =f\left(\boldsymbol{\upvarepsilon} \right) $$ required for finite element analyses.

Forbidden subgraphs of TI-power graphs of finite groups

Open Mathematics
Given a finite group GG with identity ee, the TI-power graph (trivial intersection power graph) defined on GG, denoted by Γ(G)\Gamma \left(G), is an undirected graph with vertex set GG where distinct vertices aa and bb are adjacent if ⟨a⟩∩⟨b⟩={e}\langle ...

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

A New Characterization of Unichord-Free Graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2015
Unichord-free graphs are defined as having no cycle with a unique chord. They have appeared in several papers recently and are also characterized by minimal separators always inducing edgeless subgraphs (in contrast to characterizing chordal graphs by ...

Chordality Properties and Hyperbolicity on Graphs

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2016
Let $G$ be a graph with the usual shortest-path metric. A graph is $\delta$-hyperbolic if for every geodesic triangle $T$, any side of $T$ is contained in a $\delta$-neighborhood of the union of the other two sides. A graph is chordal if every induced cycle has at most three edges.

Torpor‐assisted migration: Regular use of shallow torpor reduces rest‐phase energy expenditure for songbirds during migration

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.

Strongly Unichord-Free Graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2019
Several recent papers have investigated unichord-free graphs—the graphs in which no cycle has a unique chord. This paper proposes a concept of strongly unichord-free graph, defined by being unichord-free with no cycle of length 5 or more having exactly ...
