This article employs the number of news appeared in Baidu News as a novel proxy for information arrival and investigates the validation of the Mixture of Distribution Hypothesis (MDH) using a sample of SME PRICE INDEX in China. The empirical results reveal a positive impact of internet...

In this paper, we build undirected weighted networks to study herding behavior among analysts and to analyze the characteristics and the structure of these networks. We then construct a new indicator based on the average degree of nodes and the average weighted clustering coefficient to research...

In this paper, we numerically study energy dissipation per unit time per car Ed in the Nagel–Schreckenberg (NS) model. Numerical results show that there is a critical density over which energy dissipation occurs, but below which no energy loss happens in the deterministic NS model. Energy...

Recent mode coupling theory (MCT) calculations show that in attractive colloids one may observe a new type of glass originating from clustering effects, as a result of the attractive interaction. This happens in addition to the known glass-forming mechanism due to cage effects in the hard sphere...

We propose a new method for the analysis of high-resolution incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering spectra of water in porous media and apply it, in particular, to a case of water in hydrated tricalcium silicate. We plot the normalized frequency-dependent susceptibility as a function of a...

Water is perhaps the most ubiquitous, and the most essential, of any molecule on earth. Indeed, it defies the imagination of even the most creative science fiction writer to picture what life would be like without water. Despite decades of research, however, water's puzzling properties are not...

Traders develop and adopt different trading strategies attempting to maximize their profits in financial markets. These trading strategies not only result in specific topological structures in trading networks, which connect the traders with the pairwise buy–sell relationships, but also have...

In this paper we numerically study the probability Pac of the occurrence of traffic accidents in the Nagel–Schreckenberg (NS) model with velocity-dependent randomization (VDR). Numerical results show that there is a critical density over which car accidents occur, but below which no car...

The compressibility isotherms of three samples of He-N2 mixtures containing, respectively, 25,50 and 75 mol% helium have been measured at 298.15 K and at pressures between 2 and 10 kbar using a modified stepwise expansion method. The accuracy of the measurements is estimated to be better than...

In this article, the effects of irreversible detachments of particles in totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (TASEPs) with extended particles which occupy more than one lattice site, are investigated. First, an approximate mean-field theory is used to calculate phase diagrams and...
