Evolutionary of Online Social Networks Driven by Pareto Wealth Distribution and Bidirectional Preferential Attachment
Understanding of evolutionary mechanism of online social networks is greatly
significant for the development of network science. However, present researches
on evolutionary mechanism of online social networks are neither deep nor clear
enough. In this study, we empirically showed the essential evolution
characteristics of Renren online social network. From the perspective of Pareto
wealth distribution and bidirectional preferential attachment, the origin of
online social network evolution is analyzed and the evolution mechanism of
online social networks is explained. Then a novel model is proposed to
reproduce the essential evolution characteristics which are consistent with the
ones of Renren online social network, and the evolutionary analytical solution
to the model is presented. The model can also well predict the ordinary
power-law degree distribution. In addition, the universal bowing phenomenon of
the degree distribution in many online social networks is explained and
predicted by the model. The results suggest that Pareto wealth distribution and
bidirectional preferential attachment can play an important role in the
evolution process of online social networks and can help us to understand the
evolutionary origin of online social networks. The model has significant
implications for dynamic simulation researches of social networks, especially
in information diffusion through online communities and infection spreading in
real societies.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures,31 reference
Visible-light promoted atom transfer radical addition-elimination (ATRE) reaction for the synthesis of fluoroalkylated alkenes using DMA as electron-donor
Here, we describe a mild, catalyst-free and operationally-simple strategy for the direct fluoroalkylation of olefins driven by the photochemical activity of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex between DMA and fluoroalkyl iodides. The significant advantages of this photochemical transformation are high efficiency, excellent functional group tolerance, and synthetic simplicity, thus providing a facile route for further application in pharmaceuticals and life sciences
The peculiar filamentary HI structure of NGC 6145
In this paper, we report the peculiar HI morphology of the cluster spiral
galaxy NGC 6145, which has a 150 kpc HI filament on one side that is nearly
parallel to its major axis. This filament is made up of several HI clouds and
the diffuse HI gas between them, with no optical counterparts. We compare its
HI distribution with other one-sided HI distributions in the literature, and
find that the overall HI distribution is very different from the typical tidal
and ram-pressure stripped HI shape, and its morphology is inconsistent with
being a pure accretion event. Only about 30% of the total HI gas is anchored on
the stellar disk, while most of HI gas forms the filament in the west. At a
projected distance of 122 kpc, we find a massive elliptical companion (NGC
6146) with extended radio emission, whose axis points to an HI gap in NGC 6145.
The velocity of the HI filament shows an overall light-of- sight motion of 80
to 180 km/s with respect to NGC 6145. Using the long-slit spectra of NGC 6145
along its major stellar axis, we find that some outer regions show enhanced
star formation, while in contrast, almost no star formation activities are
found in its center (less than 2 kpc). Pure accretion, tidal or ram-pressure
stripping is not likely to produce the observed HI filament. An alternative
explanation is the jet-stripping from NGC 6146, although direct evidence for a
jet-cold gas interaction has not been found.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures; Accepted for publication in A
Generating scalable entanglement of ultracold bosons in superlattices through resonant shaking
Based on a one-dimensional double-well superlattice with a unit filling of
ultracold atoms per site, we propose a scheme to generate scalable entangled
states in the superlattice through resonant lattice shakings. Our scheme
utilizes periodic lattice modulations to entangle two atoms in each unit cell
with respect to their orbital degree of freedom, and the complete atomic system
in the superlattice becomes a cluster of bipartite entangled atom pairs. To
demonstrate this we perform quantum dynamical simulations using
the Multi-Layer Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree Method for Bosons,
which accounts for all correlations among the atoms. The proposed clusters of
bipartite entanglements manifest as an essential resource for various quantum
applications, such as measurement based quantum computation. The lattice
shaking scheme to generate this cluster possesses advantages such as a high
scalability, fast processing speed, rich controllability on the target
entangled states, and accessibility with current experimental techniques.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

Longitudinal survey of microbiome associated with particulate matter in a megacity.
BackgroundWhile the physical and chemical properties of airborne particulate matter (PM) have been extensively studied, their associated microbiome remains largely unexplored. Here, we performed a longitudinal metagenomic survey of 106 samples of airborne PM2.5 and PM10 in Beijing over a period of 6 months in 2012 and 2013, including those from several historically severe smog events.ResultsWe observed that the microbiome composition and functional potential were conserved between PM2.5 and PM10, although considerable temporal variations existed. Among the airborne microorganisms, Propionibacterium acnes, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter lwoffii, Lactobacillus amylovorus, and Lactobacillus reuteri dominated, along with several viral species. We further identified an extensive repertoire of genes involved in antibiotic resistance and detoxification, including transporters, transpeptidases, and thioredoxins. Sample stratification based on Air Quality Index (AQI) demonstrated that many microbial species, including those associated with human, dog, and mouse feces, exhibit AQI-dependent incidence dynamics. The phylogenetic and functional diversity of air microbiome is comparable to those of soil and water environments, as its composition likely derives from a wide variety of sources.ConclusionsAirborne particulate matter accommodates rich and dynamic microbial communities, including a range of microbial elements that are associated with potential health consequences
A078: The Relationship Between Bullied Middle School Students and Depression: A Two-Modulated Model
Background and Purpose: Being bullied has a negative impact on the psychological health of middle school students, particularly leading to an increase in depressive symptoms. However, physical exercise and family support may play a positive role in alleviating the level of depression among bullied students. This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of physical exercise and family support on depressive symptoms among bullied middle school students.
Methods: A survey research design was employed to collect relevant data from bullied middle school students using self-reported questionnaires. The sample comprised N = 476 bullied middle school students (age = 12.25 ± 0.73 years; male = 234, female = 242; only child = 85, non-only child = 391). The levels of being bullied, depression, physical exercise, and family support were assessed through subjective self-report questionnaires. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted using SPSS software with the PROCESS plugin. Additionally, a double moderation structural equation model (Model 3) was constructed.
Results: The results indicated a significant positive correlation between bullied and depression levels (r = 0.29, p \u3c 0.001), and a significant negative correlation with family support (r = -0.31, p \u3c 0.001) and physical activity levels (r = -0.13, p \u3c 0.001). After controlling for gender, age, and being an only child, bullied significantly and positively predicted depression levels (β = 0.20, p \u3c 0.001). Furthermore, physical exercise level exhibited a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between bullied and depression (interaction term between physical activity and bullied: β = -0.14, p \u3c 0.05), indicating that physical exercise can alleviate the depressive symptoms of bullied students. Moreover, family support significantly enhanced the moderating effect of physical activity (interaction term between family support, physical activity, and bullied: β = -0.10, p \u3c 0.05), thus further reducing the depressive symptoms among bullied students.
Conclusion: This study revealed the moderating effects of physical exercise and family support on depressive symptoms among bullied middle school students through a double moderation model. The findings suggest that engaging in physical exercise on the basis of family support can alleviate depressive symptoms among bullied students. This research provides guidance for schools and families to promote the psychological well-being of bullied students and reduce the occurrence of depressive symptoms
