We propose a set of conservative models in which agents exchange wealth with a preference in the choice of interacting agents in different ways. The common feature in all the models is that the temporary values of financial status of agents is a deciding factor for interaction. Other factors...

Two-mode and multi-mode networks represent new directions of simulating a complex network that can simulate the relationships among the entities more precisely. In this paper, we constructed two different levels of networks: one is the two-mode primitive networks of the energy listed companies...

A dynamic weight evolution network with preferential attachment is introduced. The network includes two significant characteristics. (i) Topological growth: triggered by newly added node with M links at each time step, each new edge carries an initial weight growing nonlinearly with time. (ii)...

In this study, we pursue an original idea about whether unique deformed particle algebra could effectively describe a set of crucial quantum properties including the non-standard statistics of particles, the internal structure of particles, and the interaction of particles. Following such an...

The crossover behavior near the catastrophic failure in the avalanche process of fiber bundle model in local load sharing condition is numerically investigated by dividing the tensile stretching process into several segments. In every segment of the tensile process, the fracture parameters, such...

The edge heterogeneity has a remarkable influence on disease spreading, but it has seldom been considered in the disease-controlling policies. Based on the gravity model, we propose the edge importance index to describe the influence of edge heterogeneity on immunization strategies. Then the...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) act through inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, a catalytic activity possessed by two distinct cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) isozymes encoded by separate genes. The discovery of COX-2 launched a new era in NSAID pharmacology, resulting in the...

We present a new method of estimating the dispersion of a distribution which is based on the surprising property of a function that measures information processing intensity. It turns out that this function has a maximum at its fixed point. Fixed-point equation is used to estimate the parameter...

The paper mainly applies the information categorization method to analyze the financial time series. The method is used to examine the similarity of different sequences by calculating the distances between them. We apply this method to quantify the similarity of different stock markets. And we...

Complex data series that arise during interaction between humans (operators) and advanced technology in a controlled and realistic setting have been explored. The purpose is to obtain quantitative measures that reflect quality in task performance: on a ship simulator, nine crews have solved the...
