In this paper magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow of CuO–water nanofluid in a square enclosure with a rectangular heated body is investigated numerically using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) scheme. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL...

The investigation of link prediction in networks is an important issue in many disciplines. The research of prediction algorithms which required short time but high accuracy is still a challenging task. Most of the existing algorithms are based on the topological information of the networks,...

The reaction of a hydroxyl radical with molecular hydrogen and the respiration in Camellia Japonica are used as examples for studying chemical reaction rate constants by the power-law transition state theory. In the first example, the rate constants are numerically obtained at different...

Characterizing flow behavior underlying horizontal oil–water flows from experimental measurements is a challenging problem in the fields of time series analysis and fluid mechanics. We systematically conduct a horizontal oil–water two-phase flow experiment and use our designed distributed...

This research extends a method previously applied to music and philosophy (Vilson Vieira et al., 2012), representing the evolution of art as a time-series where relations like dialectics are measured quantitatively. For that, a corpus of paintings of 12 well-known artists from baroque and...

Using the Langevin simulation, we investigate the interference mode-locking of two-dimensional (2D) magnetized colloids on a substrate with periodic pinning centers. The colloidal particles are prepared initially in a 2D crystalline state and then driven simultaneously by direct-current (dc) and...

We perform a statistical analysis of measured time series of sea levels at various coastal locations in the UK, measured at time differences of 15 min over the past 20 years. When the astronomical tide and other deterministic components are removed from the record, a stochastic signal...

We discuss the role of ergodicity and chaos for the validity of statistical laws. In particular we explore the basic aspects of chaotic systems (with emphasis on the finite-resolution) on systems composed of a huge number of particles.

Online rating can directly reflect users’ collective behavioral patterns which is of great concern in online social systems. In this paper, we investigate the correlations between the users’ rating behaviors and the real-time updated average ratings of objects given from other users’...

Punctuated Equilibrium (PE) states that after long periods of evolutionary quiescence, species evolution can take place in short time intervals, where sudden differentiation makes new species emerge and some species extinct. In this paper, we introduce and study the effect of punctuated...
