(A ) Left panel: connectivity of the network in Figure 3 with long-range connections of strength 0.05 added between 10% of the nodes.
Right panel: eigenvectors shown as in panel C of Figure 3. (B ) Left panel: connectivity of the network in Figure 5 with long-range connections of strength 0.05 added between 10% of the nodes.
The function (H^{lj}) describes the coupling provided by a single intersegmental connection of unit strength from cell l in one segment to cell j in another segment.
Similarly, (H_{mathrm{f}}^{sj}) describes the coupling provided by a connection of unit strength from the edge cell on side s of segment m to cell j in the same segment.
The influence of tube wall thickness and concrete grade on the performance of the connection in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility and failure mode is investigated.
Each AN is connected with every other AN by means of connections of random strength (For clarity, only connections between neighboring AN's are shown).
Welded connections of lower strength steel welded with filler metals (FM) approved for that steel have a considerable overstrength compared to the parent metal (PM) independent of the welding process and the welding parameters.
Like many complex adaptive systems in health care, Kaiser Permanente is a loosely-coupled organization; leadership is decentralized, with connections of variable strength between organizational segments, i.e., national, regional and local leadership and health plan, hospitals and medical groups.
Design equations are presented to estimate the stiffness of the connection, the strength of the column against local tension, and the shear yielding of the panel zone.
An increase of connection strength may indicate a decrease of variations of inter-regional connectivity network.
S is a scaled version of s, accounting for the totalfeedback conductance, S = W s, where W is the sum of connection strengths of allcells and held fixed when N is varied.
