Hydrodynamic limit for a boundary driven stochastic lattice gas model with many conserved quantities
We prove the hydrodynamic limit for a particle system in which particles may
have different velocities. We assume that we have two infinite reservoirs of
particles at the boundary: this is the so-called boundary driven process. The
dynamics we considered consists of a weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process
with collision among particles having different velocities
Computational fact checking from knowledge networks
Traditional fact checking by expert journalists cannot keep up with the
enormous volume of information that is now generated online. Computational fact
checking may significantly enhance our ability to evaluate the veracity of
dubious information. Here we show that the complexities of human fact checking
can be approximated quite well by finding the shortest path between concept
nodes under properly defined semantic proximity metrics on knowledge graphs.
Framed as a network problem this approach is feasible with efficient
computational techniques. We evaluate this approach by examining tens of
thousands of claims related to history, entertainment, geography, and
biographical information using a public knowledge graph extracted from
Wikipedia. Statements independently known to be true consistently receive
higher support via our method than do false ones. These findings represent a
significant step toward scalable computational fact-checking methods that may
one day mitigate the spread of harmful misinformation

Hidden geometric correlations in real multiplex networks
Real networks often form interacting parts of larger and more complex
systems. Examples can be found in different domains, ranging from the Internet
to structural and functional brain networks. Here, we show that these multiplex
systems are not random combinations of single network layers. Instead, they are
organized in specific ways dictated by hidden geometric correlations between
the individual layers. We find that these correlations are strong in different
real multiplexes, and form a key framework for answering many important
questions. Specifically, we show that these geometric correlations facilitate:
(i) the definition and detection of multidimensional communities, which are
sets of nodes that are simultaneously similar in multiple layers; (ii) accurate
trans-layer link prediction, where connections in one layer can be predicted by
observing the hidden geometric space of another layer; and (iii) efficient
targeted navigation in the multilayer system using only local knowledge, which
outperforms navigation in the single layers only if the geometric correlations
are sufficiently strong. Our findings uncover fundamental organizing principles
behind real multiplexes and can have important applications in diverse domains.Comment: Supplementary Materials available at

Social and economic impacts of congenital Zika syndrome in Brazil: Study protocol and rationale for a mixed-methods study.
Global concern broke out in late 2015 as thousands of children in Brazil were born with microcephaly, which was quickly linked to congenital infection with Zika virus (ZIKV). ZIKV is now known to cause a wider spectrum of severe adverse outcomes-congenital Zika syndrome (CZS)-and also milder impairments. This study aimed to explore the social and economic impacts of CZS in Brazil. Data was collected through mixed methods across two settings: Recife City and Jaboatão dos Guararapes in Pernambuco State (the epicentre of the epidemic), and the city of Rio de Janeiro (where reports of ZIKV infection and CZS were less frequent). Data was collected May 2017-January 2018. Ethical standards were adhered to throughout the research. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with: mothers and other carers of children with CZS (approximately 30 per setting), pregnant women (10-12 per setting), men and women of child-bearing age (16-20 per setting), and health professionals (10-12 per setting). Thematic analysis was undertaken independently by researchers from at least two research settings, and these were shared for feedback. A case-control study was undertaken to quantitatively explore social and economic differences between caregivers of a child with CZS (cases) and caregivers with an unaffected child (controls). We aimed to recruit 100 cases and 100 controls per setting, from existing studies. The primary caregiver, usually the mother, was interviewed using a structured questionnaire to collect information on: depression, anxiety, stress, social support, family quality of life, health care and social service use, and costs incurred by families. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to compare outcomes for cases and controls. Costs incurred as a result of CZS were estimated from the perspective of the health system, families and society. Modelling was undertaken to estimate the total economic burden of CZS from those three perspectives
