Along with the popularity of mobile devices and advances in wireless technology, mobile services have become more and more prevalent. To the best of knowledge, despite the potential importance of lifestyle, little research has been performed on the effect of various lifestyle factors on mobile...

Data in practical applications (e.g., images, molecular biology, etc) is mostly characterised by high dimensionality and huge size or number of data instances. Though, feature reduction techniques have been successful in reducing the dimensionality for certain applications, dealing with high...

A set of thin tantalum films was prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering using different substrate temperatures and sputtering power. In order to identify the optimal condition for hillock free thin tantalum (Ta) film deposition, AFM was employed to measure surface morphology of the...

The net neutrality debate has brought out economic rationale for andagainst a variety of proposals of the broadband service providers todifferentiate between different classes of users. Broadband users arecharacterized by the differing amounts of content they request online,as well as their...

The paper empirically explores how more trade transparency affects market liquidity. The analysis takes advantage of a unique setting in which the Shanghai Stock Exchange offered more trade transparency to market participants subscribing to a new software package. First, the results show that...

We investigate the relevance between quantum open systems and stock markets. A Quantum Brownian motion model is proposed for studying the interaction between the Brownian system and the reservoir, i.e., the stock index and the entire stock market. Based on the model, we investigate the Shanghai...

We investigate the behavior of stocks in daily price-limited stock markets by purposing a quantum spatial-periodic harmonic model. The stock price is presumed to oscillate and damp in a quantum spatial-periodic harmonic oscillator potential well. Complicated non-linear relations including...

This paper studies how missing data in the PageRank algorithm influences the result of papers ranking and proposes PrestigeRank algorithm on that basis. We make use of PrestigeRank to give the ranking of all papers in physics in the Chinese Scientific and Technology Papers and Citation Database...
