We investigate the solutions of a modified fractional diffusion equation which has a secondary fractional time derivative acting on a diffusion operator. We obtain analytical solutions for the modified equation in the finite and semi-infinite domains subject to absorbing boundary conditions....

This paper provides a dynamic extension of Peters (2010) directed search model. The point is to characterize the evolution of wage outcomes over time. The primary result of that paper, which is reproduced here, is that workers use random application strategies when they are searching for new...

In this paper, we present an auxiliary function approach to solve the overlap group Lasso problem. Our goal is to solve a more general structure with overlapping groups, which is suitable to be used in cellular automata (CA). The CA were introduced to the algorithmic composition which is based...

3D (Three-dimensional) ZnO (zinc oxide)/rGO (reduced graphene oxide)/ZnO sandwich-structured were synthesized by adding zinc oxide powder to the reaction of graphitic oxide reduction and heating. In this reaction, ZnO nanorods arrays with the size of 20–40 nm grew on both surfaces of rGO...

Despite the growing political priority given to making trade work for the majority in Latin America, a notable gap exists in the knowledge about the distributive impacts of trade integration. This study attempts to fill this gap: it surveys the most recent contributions to the mainstream trade...

Community structure is an important feature in many real-world networks. Many methods and algorithms for identifying communities have been proposed and have attracted great attention in recent years. In this paper, we present a new approach for discovering the community structure in networks....

This paper aims to analyze the mobilization efficiency of venture capital (VC) in China. It has been found that the dearth of venture capitalists, absence of appropriate exit channels, and lack of open, active, mature, and stable equity-driven capital markets result in low mobilization...

Emerging green-energy transportation, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), has a great potential for reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions. The lithium-ion battery system used in these vehicles, however, is bulky, expensive and unreliable, and has...
