We study the percolation properties of the interacting classical dimer model on the square lattice by means of Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis. We define Ising clusters based on the dimer configuration; the percolation point of the clusters coincides with the critical...

Assuming sediment movement in channel flow as steady, Tsallis entropy is employed for deriving the distribution of sediment concentration. This distribution is found to be analogous to the distribution obtained from a random walk model. The sediment concentration distribution parameters are...

Forecasting the demand of an integrated passenger terminal under the capacity constraints of its surrounding roads has always been a challenging problem for urban transportation terminals planning and construction in China. A bi-level model is proposed to forecast the passenger demand of an...

In this paper, we present an alternate algorithm for detecting overlapping community structures in the complex network. Two concepts named the maximal sub-graph and the clustering coefficient between two neighboring communities are introduced. First, all the maximal sub-graphs are extracted from...

Self-consistent ab initio calculations, based on the DFT (Density Functional Theory) approach and using the FLAPW (Full potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave) method, are performed to investigate both electronic and magnetic properties of the FeSn compounds. Polarized spin and spin–orbit...

The time dynamics of geoelectrical signals measured at three sites in Taiwan were investigated by using the Fisher–Shannon method in order to investigate the possible correlation between their properties with deformation processes. The three sites are located along an almost perpendicular...

In this paper, a class of singular Leslie–Gower predator–prey bioeconomic models with environment fluctuations and time delays is investigated. Local stability analysis of the model reveals that there is a phenomenon of singularity induced bifurcation due to variation of economic interest of...

Network dynamics and energy consumption are two important performance issues for energy-constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Current state-of-the-art research is limited to either modeling un-weighted network under some energy constraint or assuming fixed/static network model. In this...

In this paper, we study the effects of intelligent control mechanism on multiple-vehicle collision induced by a sudden stop. The control motion of following vehicles is extended by introducing their velocity relative to the braking one into the dynamic models. We study the dynamic process of...

This study examines contagion across equity and securitized real estate markets of Hong Kong, US and UK during the global financial crisis by the Forbes–Rigobon, coskewness and cokurtosis tests. In particular, this is the first study to use the cokurtosis test to examine contagion between real...
