Probing nucleons with photons at the quark level
2014
The description of electromagnetic interactions with hadrons from the quark level requires knowledge of the underlying quark-gluon ingredients. I discuss some properties of the quark-photon vertex and quark Compton vertex, along with the role of electromagnetic gauge invariance and vector-meson dominance. A simple parametrization for the quark-photon vertex is given.
QSPR/QSAR Studies of 2-Furylethylenes Using Bond-Level Quadratic Indices and Comparison with Other Computational Approaches
2017
The recently introduced, non-stochastic and stochastic quadratic indices (Marrero-Ponce <em>et al. J. Comp. Aided Mol. Des.</em> 2006, 20, 685-701) were applied to QSAR/QSPR studies of heteroatomic molecules. These novel bond-based molecular descriptors (MDs) were used for the prediction of the partition coefficient (log P), and the antibacterial activity of 34 derivatives of 2-furylethylenes. Two statistically significant QSPR models using non-stochastic and stochastic bond-based quadratic indices were obtained (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.971, s = 0.137 and R<sup>2</sup> = 0.986, s = 0.096). These models showed good stability to data variation in leave-one-out (L…
Prediction of Molecular Volume and Surface of Alkanes by Molecular Topology.
2003
Molecular volume and molecular surface are expressed as a function of topological degree in alkane graphs. This allows not only a straightforward approach to calculate such physicochemical magnitudes but also an interpretation of the role of the local vertex invariant (LOVI) or valence degree, delta, as well as the connectivity indices in the prediction of physicochemical properties. The interpretation is based on the concept of molecular accessibility (as introduced by Estrada, J. Phys. Chem. A 2002, 106, 9085) for which precise mathematical definitions are provided.
Multi-domain Feature of Event-Related Potential Extracted by Nonnegative Tensor Factorization: 5 vs. 14 Electrodes EEG Data
2012
As nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF) is particularly useful for the problem of underdetermined linear transform model, we performed NTF on the EEG data recorded from 14 electrodes to extract the multi-domain feature of N170 which is a visual event-related potential (ERP), as well as 5 typical electrodes in occipital-temporal sites for N170 and in frontal-central sites for vertex positive potential (VPP) which is the counterpart of N170, respectively. We found that the multi-domain feature of N170 from 5 electrodes was very similar to that from 14 electrodes and more discriminative for different groups of participants than that of VPP from 5 electrodes. Hence, we conclude that when the …
QSPR Modeling of Hydrocarbon Dipole Moments by Means of Correlation Weighting of Local Graph Invariants
2003
Hydrocarbon dipole moments are calculated by means of correlation weighting of local graph invariants within the context of QSPR theory. This sort of flexible topological descriptor is used for several parameters: local invariants of k th vertex in the labeled hydrogen filled graph extended connectivity of zero-, first- and second-orders, number of paths of length 2 at k th vertex and valence shell of the k th vertex. The models predict hydrocarbon dipole moments in a quite sensible way. The best model is that one based upon numbers of path length 2 correlation weighting.
Vertex Distinguishing Edge- and Total-Colorings of Cartesian and other Product Graphs
2012
International audience; This paper studies edge- and total-colorings of graphs in which (all or only adjacent) vertices are distinguished by their sets of colors. We provide bounds for the minimum number of colors needed for such colorings for the Cartesian product of graphs along with exact results for generalized hypercubes. We also present general bounds for the direct, strong and lexicographic products.
The b-chromatic number of power graphs
2003
The b-chromatic number of a graph G is defined as the maximum number k of colors that can be used to color the vertices of G, such that we obtain a proper coloring and each color i, with 1 ≤ i≤ k, has at least one representant x_i adjacent to a vertex of every color j, 1 ≤ j ≠ i ≤ k. In this paper, we discuss the b-chromatic number of some power graphs. We give the exact value of the b-chromatic number of power paths and power complete binary trees, and we bound the b-chromatic number of power cycles.
Blind Robust 3-D Mesh Watermarking Based on Mesh Saliency and QIM Quantization for Copyright Protection
2019
International audience; Due to the recent demand of 3-D models in several applications like medical imaging, video games, among others, the necessity of implementing 3-D mesh watermarking schemes aiming to protect copyright has increased considerably. The majority of robust 3-D watermark-ing techniques have essentially focused on the robustness against attacks while the imperceptibility of these techniques is still a real issue. In this context, a blind robust 3-D mesh watermarking method based on mesh saliency and Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) for Copyright protection is proposed. The watermark is embedded by quantifying the vertex norms of the 3-D mesh using QIM scheme since it offe…

The Large Hadron–Electron Collider at the HL-LHC
2021
The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LH…
