Gene co-expression networks are increasingly used to explore the system-level functionality of genes. The network construction is conceptually straightforward: nodes represent genes and nodes are connected if the corresponding genes are significantly co-expressed across appropriately chosen...

This paper contains a new and very successful application of mathematical programming in the petroleum industry. Specifically, the paper describes the design and implementation of a model and computer system to address the complex short-term planning and operational issues associated with the...

Contractual agreements have assumed significant complexity in recent times because of the emergence of strategies like outsourcing and partnering in the successful completion of large software development, manufacturing, and construction projects. A client and contractor enter into an agreement...

This paper presents the analysis and design optimization of a coaxial surface-mounted permanent-magnet magnetic gear. The magnetic field distribution in the coaxial magnetic gear is calculated analytically in the polar coordinate system and then validated by the finite element method (FEM). The...

As one of the largest energy consumer in the world, China has been facing great pressure to guarantee energy supply security. Investigating the driving forces dominating China energy consumption levels and their evolution may help to institute energy saving policy. Nowadays, the LMDI...

A fuzzy overlapping community is an important kind of overlapping community in which each node belongs to each community to different extents. It exists in many real networks but how to identify a fuzzy overlapping community is still a challenging task. In this work, the concept of local random...
