Many simulations of networks in computational neuroscience assume completely homogenous random networks of the Erdös–Rényi type, or regular networks, despite it being recognized for some time that anatomical brain networks are more complex in their connectivity and can, for example, exhibit the “scale-free” and “small-world” properties. We review the most well known algorithms for constructing networks with given non-homogeneous statistical properties and provide simple pseudo-code for reproducing such networks in software simulations. We also review some useful mathematical results and approximations associated with the statistics that describe these network models, including degree distribution, average path length, and clustering coefficient. We …

In the present study, laboratory tests were undertaken in order to assess the index properties and consolidation characteristics of dredged mud which is excavated during the maintenance dredging works carried out in Port of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. These dredged spoils are reused as the fill materials in the major land reclamation project currently undertaken adjacent to the port for expanding the port facitlites. In the laboratory, index properties of dredged mud such as, particle size distuibution, Atterberg limits and specifc gravity were determined. Oedometer tests were conducted to calculate the consolidation properties of dredged mud. Laboratory resuls for consolidation properties …
