Relativistic mean-field approximation with density-dependent screening meson masses in nuclear matter
The Debye screening masses of the , and neutral
mesons and the photon are calculated in the relativistic mean-field
approximation. As the density of the nucleon increases, all the screening
masses of mesons increase. It shows a different result with Brown-Rho scaling,
which implies a reduction in the mass of all the mesons in the nuclear matter
except the pion. Replacing the masses of the mesons with their corresponding
screening masses in Walecka-1 model, five saturation properties of the nuclear
matter are fixed reasonably, and then a density-dependent relativistic
mean-field model is proposed without introducing the non-linear self-coupling
terms of mesons.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, REVTEX4, Accepted for publication in Int. J.

Influence of Reciprocal links in Social Networks
In this Letter, we empirically study the influence of reciprocal links, in
order to understand its role in affecting the structure and function of
directed social networks. Experimental results on two representative datesets,
Sina Weibo and Douban, demonstrate that the reciprocal links indeed play a more
important role than non-reciprocal ones in both spreading information and
maintaining the network robustness. In particular, the information spreading
process can be significantly enhanced by considering the reciprocal effect. In
addition, reciprocal links are largely responsible for the connectivity and
efficiency of directed networks. This work may shed some light on the in-depth
understanding and application of the reciprocal effect in directed online
social networks
