This short introduction to the Special Issue entitled “Theory and Practice of Connectivity in the Indo-Pacific - Spheres, Logics, and Regional Dynamics” serves four objectives. It first briefly outlines the rationale for theoretical and empirical engagement with the concept of connectivity, which has become a…

IR literature has become inundated with different descriptions for the future of international order. The coming age is purportedly marked by China’s ascendancy, American decline, a leaderless “no-one’s world”, or multiple competing modernities. Yet the global fight against climate change or shared COVID-19 strategies…

In recent years, parallel developments in disparate disciplines have focused on what has come to be termed connectivity; a concept used in understanding and describing complex systems. Conceptualisations and operationalisations of connectivity have evolved largely within their disciplinary boundaries, yet similarities…

Connectomics, the study of brain connectivity, has become an indispensable tool in neuroscientific research as it provides insights into brain organization. Connectomes are generated for different modalities such as using diffusion MRI to capture structural organization of the brain or using functional MRI to elaborate…

Connectomes are the structural scaffold for signalling within nervous systems. While many network models have been proposed to describe connectome communication, current approaches assume that every pair of neural elements communicates according to the same principle. Connectomes, however, are heterogeneous networks…

Providing connectivity to around half of the World population living in rural or underprivileged areas is a tremendous challenge, but also a unique opportunity. In this paper, a survey of technologies for providing connectivity to rural areas, and that can help address this challenge, is provided. Fronthaul and…

Cortical connectivity conforms to a series of organizing principles that are common across species. Spatial proximity, similar cortical type, and similar connectional profile all constitute factors for determining the connectivity between cortical regions. We previously demonstrated another principle of connectivity…

Studies of nervous system connectivity, in a wide variety of species and at different scales of resolution, have identified several highly conserved motifs of network organization. One such motif is a heterogeneous distribution of connectivity across neural elements, such that some elements act as highly connected and…

In this paper, we study the probability that a dense network confined within a given geometry is fully connected. We employ a cluster expansion approach often used in statistical physics to analyze the effects that the boundaries of the geometry have on connectivity. To maximize practicality and applicability, we adopt…

Kademlia is a decentralized overlay network, up to now mainly used for highly scalable file sharing applications. Due to its distributed nature, it is free from single points of failure. Communication can happen over redundant network paths, which makes information distribution with Kademlia resilient against failing…

This article assesses a key aspect of data sharing that has the potential to accelerate the progress and impact of medicinal chemistry. To achieve this the community needs to increase the outward flow of experimental results locked-up in millions of published PDFs into structured open databases that explicitly capture…

In recent years, new and important perspectives were introduced in the field of neuroimaging with the emergence of the connectionist approach (Williams and Henson 2018). In this new context, it is important to know not only which brain areas are activated by a particular stimulus but, mainly, how these areas are…

Connectivity is a fundamental issue in research on wireless sensor networks. However, unreliable and asymmetric links have a great impact on the global quality of connectivity (QoC). By assuming the deployment of nodes a homogeneous Poisson point process and eliminating the border effect, this paper derives an explicit…

—Graph theory is a promising approach in handling the problem of estimating the connectivity probability of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). With a communication network represented as graph, graph connectivity indicators become valid for connectivity analysis of communication networks as well. In this article, we…

Cognitive phenotypes characterize our memories, beliefs, skills, and preferences, and arise from our ancestral, developmental, and experiential histories. These histories are written into our brain structure through the building and modification of various brain circuits. Connectal coding, by way of analogy with neural…

The wiring of the brain provides the anatomical skeleton for cognition and behavior. Connections among brain regions have a diverse and characteristic strength. This strength heterogeneity is captured by the wiring cost and homophily principles. Moreover, brains have a characteristic global network topology, including…

'Subhash Chopra' 'Mayuri Tendulkar' 'Sandip Sarka'] Abstract – 5G Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications Technology (URLLC) will not be able to provide extremely reliable low latency services to the complex networks in 6G. Moreover, URLLC that began with 5G has to be refined and improved in 6G to provide xURLCC…

Previous work has focused on the role of social capital on resilience. However, this research tends to search for civic and other organizations, often formal institutionalized groups which, when they are not found, leads to questions about how social networks are possibly governed. Without formal organizational…

The rational construction of high-connectivity three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) remains a central challenge in reticular chemistry, holding immense promise for advancing framework rigidity, porosity, and functional integration. From both fundamental and application standpoints, diversifying the…

Connectivity analysis is a crucial metric for network performance in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Although VANET connectivity has been intensively studied and investigated under no-fading channel models for their simplicity, these models do not represent real-world scenarios that suffer channel impairments. The…

Active assembly of matter is a defining trait of living systems, enabling the creation of far-from-equilibrium materials essential for the functionality of life. This is achieved through energy-dissipative, multi-step processes facilitated by various biomolecular agents for chemical and mechanical assembly of matter.…

Within the next twenty years, the number of cancer patients is expected to rise by 70%. Current cancer treatments still face several limitations, such as severe side effects and a high incidence of disease recurrence. Drug combination therapies are a promising strategy to achieve higher therapeutic effects while…

A directed graph (or digraph) consists of a finite vertex set 𝑉 and a set of ordered edges 𝐸 ⊆ 𝑉 × 𝑉, each edge (𝑢, 𝑣) indicating a one-way connection from 𝑢 (source) to 𝑣 (target). A bidirected graph is a generalization of an undirected graph where each edge is assigned a direction at each of its endpoints…

In communications, the obstacle to high bandwidth and reliable transmission is usually the interconnections, not the links. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Internet, where broadband connections to homes, offices and now mobile smart phones are a frequent source of frustration, and the interconnections between…
