Connectivity density is the number of redundant connections between trabecular structures per unit volume.
Specifically, the first validation criterion is connectivity density, a topological metric that shows how densely connected are the modules.
This gave rise to a connectivity density (i.e. the number of existing connections expressed as a percentage of the maximum number of possible connections) of 66%.
Connectivity density was higher and structure model index was lower, indicating a better connected and more plate-like trabecular architecture.
Direct thickness, and spacing and connectivity density were calculated using unbiased three-dimensional methods.
This study demonstrated the feasibility of vertex-wise group comparison for evaluating cortical fiber connectivity density.
The correlation between trabecular number and connectivity density varied greatly (r2 = 0.41 0.94).
Following μCT analysis there were no differences between CON and VCD, but OVX mice had lower bone volume fraction, trabecular thickness, and a trend for decreased connectivity density.
Voluntary running, regardless of fat content, significantly decreased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and increased Tb.Sp.
These conditions are usually expressed in terms of node degree, connectivity, density, toughness, independent sets, regularity and forbidden subgraphs.
Soy protein instead of casein, regardless of fat content, in the diet significantly increased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and decreased Tb.Sp.
