Locating influential nodes via dynamics-sensitive centrality

With great theoretical and practical significance, locating influential nodes of complex networks is a promising issues. In this paper, we propose a dynamics-sensitive (DS) centrality that integrates topological features and dynamical properties. The DS centrality can be directly applied in locating influential spreaders. According to the empirical results on four real networks for both susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) and susceptible-infected (SI) spreading models, the DS centrality is much more accurate than degree, $k$-shell index and eigenvector centrality.Comment: 6 pages, 1 table and 2 figure

Nonlinear transport theory for hybrid normal-superconducting devices

We report a theory for analyzing nonlinear DC transport properties of mesoscopic or nanoscopic normal-superconducting (N-S) systems. Special attention was paid such that our theory satisfies gauge invariance. At the linear transport regime and the sub-gap region where the familiar scattering matrix theory has been developed, we provide confirmation that our theory and the scattering matrix theory are equivalent. At the nonlinear regime, however, our theory allows the investigation of a number of important problems: for N-S hybrid systems we have derived the general nonlinear current-voltage characteristics in terms of the scattering Green's function, the second order nonlinear conductance at the weakly nonlinear regime, and nonequilibrium charge pile-up in the device which defines the electrochemical capacitance coefficients

The 4-sulfophthalate trianion in the polymeric title complex, {[Dy(C8H3O7S)(C12H8N2)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, bridges three water/phenanthroline-coordinated DyIII atoms to form a three-dimensional network architecture. The metal atom is further chelated by a carboxyl­ate group and is covalently bonded to a monodentate carboxyl­ate group and to a monodentate sulfonate group in a distorted square-anti­prismatic geometry. The coordinating and the solvent water mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to the network. In the crystal, one solvent water mol­ecule is disordered over two positions [major component = 59 (3)%]

An internet reviews topic hierarchy mining method based on modified continuous renormalization procedure

Mining the hierarchical structure of Internet review topics and realizing a fine classification of review texts can help alleviate users' information overload. However, existing hierarchical topic classification methods primarily rely on external corpora and human intervention. This study proposes a Modified Continuous Renormalization (MCR) procedure that acts on the keyword co-occurrence network with fractal characteristics to achieve the topic hierarchy mining. First, the fractal characteristics in the keyword co-occurrence network of Internet review text are identified using a box-covering algorithm for the first time. Then, the MCR algorithm established on the edge adjacency entropy and the box distance is proposed to obtain the topic hierarchy in the keyword co-occurrence network. Verification data from the Dangdang.com book reviews shows that the MCR constructs topic hierarchies with greater coherence and independence than the HLDA and the Louvain algorithms. Finally, reliable review text classification is achieved using the MCR extended bottom level topic categories. The accuracy rate (P), recall rate (R) and F1 value of Internet review text classification obtained from the MCR-based topic hierarchy are significantly improved compared to four target text classification algorithms.Comment: 43 pages, 8 figures, conference or other essential inf
