Opinion dynamics on directed small-world networks
In this paper, we investigate the self-affirmation effect on formation of
public opinion in a directed small-world social network. The system presents a
non-equilibrium phase transition from a consensus state to a disordered state
with coexistence of opinions. The dynamical behaviors are very sensitive to the
density of long-range interactions and the strength of self-affirmation. When
the long-range interactions are sparse and individual generally does not insist
on his/her opinion, the system will display a continuous phase transition, in
the opposite case with high self-affirmation strength and dense long-range
interactions, the system does not display a phase transition. Between those two
extreme cases, the system undergoes a discontinuous phase transition.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Ethyl 2-methyl-6-(propan-2-ylamino)-4-sulfanylidene-3H,11H-pyrimido[1,6-c]quinazoline-1-carboxylate
The title compound, C18H22N4O2S, contains a substituted pyrimidine ring fused to both a benzene ring and a substituted thioxopyrimidine ring. The pyrimidine and thioxopyrimidine rings adopt distorted chair conformations. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate centrosymmetric R
